Auslogics Registry Cleaner 8.0.0.2

The computer registry is a database in the Windows OS that stores low-level settings. As you continue using your computer, the operating system will naturally begin generating useless and invalid entries that no longer reference to any files on disk. This is most common after deleting or uninstalling files. These entries will, over time, slow down your computer by clogging up the registry. You'll need a third-party program to automatically scan and clean out these useless entries, and Auslogics Registry Cleaner is one of them.

The installation for Auslogics Registry Cleaner is straightforward but irritating. Towards the back end, it will constantly spam ads at you about Auslogic's other programs. To avoid them, you'll need to select custom install and clear all the checkboxes. On initial bootup, it will once agai nag you with some ads for its other programs, as well as telling you to purchase the program. 

You can tell it to run a scan-and-repair job, or just a scan task. While the interface isn't exactly impressive, it is organized well and you're unlikely to get lost in it. Keep in mind that after a scan, another nag screen will pop up telling you to purchase the software so it could truly fix your registry. 

Looking past all the nag screens, however, it does come with some great results. You can also create a registry backup or manage system restore points should you be paranoid about how the program might affect your computer. With all these features, Auslogics Registry Cleaner manages to work its way through its bad first impression with all the nag screens.
