I am not going to list obvious features like ‘easy to use’ to help you find the best registry cleaner. Rather, let me give you a practical hint to help you find the best registry cleaner with minimum effort.

Opt for a full fledged demo version.

The web is filled with programs claiming to be the best registry cleaner around. To back their claims, some programs are available as a demo version. The demo version performs the same function as a ’sample’ does. You get to use the real thing for a short period and this helps you decide whether you have found the best registry cleaner or not.

However, most registry cleaners let you scan your computer for free but do not allow you to repair your registry for free. They insist that you buy the program if you want it to clean your registry. This does not make a lost of sense. How can you be sure that the list of ‘problems’ is not a pre programmed function in the software? How can you be sure that your computer has been scanned for problems?

It is foolish to presume that offering repairs for free will encourage people not to opt for the best registry cleaner around. Rather, a free repair of the computer will help the user enjoy the benefits of using a registry cleaner. If your registry cleaner does not offer this facility, it is better to move ahead and opt for some other program that cleans your registry at least once for free.
