Computers are far to expensive to trust a free registry cleaner. If your looking to make things better with your computer's performance and not worse, I highly recommend buying your registry cleaner. The free registry cleaners you can find on the Internet wont be able to locate all the corrupted files you have, and they can even end up adding spy-ware to your computer. More problems are defiantly not what you need at this point, what you need is a solution.

If your computer is running slow, freezing, shutting down on its own, or giving you error messages frequently, its usually more that just an easy fix. Before you buy a registry cleaner though, there are a couple simple things you could try first to attempt to fix your problem. Every computer has a disk defragment program you can run, what this does is takes all you sporadicly placed fills and groups them all together essentially cutting down your loading time. You can find this program by going to your control panel and selecting performance and maintenance, select defragment and see if it helps. If that doesn't work try running a simple virus scan to see if it can detect the problem, and if neither of these helps your problem its time to look into getting a registry cleaner.

There are several good registry cleaners on the market, I found the three that had the best reviews and were the fairest in price. It seems all of these products do something just a little better than the other, but all in all they are very good programs no matter which one best suits you. The best part is the money back guarantees, so in case these cant solve your problem you will not be out your hard earned cash.

The first registry cleaner ill talk about is called XP Medic, and if you are running Windows XP this is gonna be your best bet. It has a very good price at $27.95, and it comes with the best money back guarantee covering their product for the first year. XP Medic comes with many other tools to enhance every aspect of your computers performance. This product received the highest possible overall rating.

The second program is called Bug Doctor, and also received the highest possible overall rating. Bug Doctor comes with a 60 day money back guarantee, and can be purchased over the Internet for $39.95 which was one of the more expensive programs. It has a very user friendly interface, and had great speed in making its repairs. This product also comes with a great tool kit to help speed up other areas of your computer.

The last registry cleaner I checked into is called Registry Patrol, and this comes with a 90 day money back guarantee and received the highest possible overall rating. When they tested this program against the others it was able to find a few more corrupted files and errors than the other cleaners could find. It was a very good price at $27.95, and can also be purchased over the Internet.

If you purchase a registry cleaner, and after it has run you are still having the same problems contact the computers manufacture. See what they tell you, and if that gets you no where there are computer specialist out there who could help determine what the problem is.
