Strengths:
Weaknesses: Does not work with Windows XP
Overall Evaluation: I have a business and I understand how damaging this kind of review can be; I don't make these comments lightly! I purchased four downloads for four separate computers in Dec 07. I began to have problems opening and using RegClean almost immediately. After months of extremely sluggish technical support and following their very cumbersome and complicated instructions in order to repair it, this software didn't really do what it claimed to do, and now it doesn't even run anymore. RegClean will not returm my money because it has been too long after the purchase even though I have worked with them on the problem from the beginning. I have been working on software since 1971; RegClean is one of the worst.

Overall Evaluation: This download dumped several trojans and virus onto my comp, which is now totally messed up, it also is not free they "detect"...ie put in viruses so you have to pay to get them taken out, thanks to these people I now own a 2000 dollar piece of junk

Strengths: Ease of use.
Weaknesses: Lack of info regarding which fixes are to be applied. Can't select entries to skip. Have to undo all corrections.
Overall Evaluation: One sweep and my system boots up like the first day I got it. Another product's trial version nearly locked up my system after scanning it. Would have rated RegClean as Superior, but lacks some desirable options.

Duration of ownership: 1 Days
Strengths: - It does what it's supposed to do
Weaknesses: - No more support?? - It does not show what it's going to fix or what it fixed.
Overall Evaluation: Well, I guess you can't really blame it since it is free. It does what it should, but it never gives you any of the details.

Strengths: Granted, I have only had this program for just this one day, it works as expected. I find no problems with it.
Weaknesses: It does not list (perse) the files fixed. You have look at the undo file to get the size of it in order to get an idea of how many errors were found.
Overall Evaluation: A simple little registry clean up utility. Nothing fancy.

Strengths: None
Weaknesses: The program sucks, it's rate of picking up invalid registry keys is about .5 percent. After using it I switched over to Registy First Aid as this program doesn't do anything.
Overall Evaluation: Find a different product.

Strengths: None, there can be no strengths because it simply doesn not work.
Weaknesses: There are no weaknesses either, IT DOES NOT WORK.
Overall Evaluation: It gets to "class identifiers" and just hangs. I let it run for 3 hours and it never moved, with the processor running at 100%.This is junk, don't get it. But what would you expect from Microsoft!
