Advanced
Registry Optimizer has been one
of the few registry cleaners in recent
years to actually make a lasting
impression on the market place. It is an
impression achieved despite the fact that
the registry tool is not necessarily the
most professional of looking pieces of
software on the market. Looks though are
perhaps a secondary consideration
compared to the actual thoroughness of a
registry cleaner.
Our
Overall Score – 85%
The Details of Advanced Registry Optimizer
• Software Designer
– The Advanced Registry Optimizer
is another quality product from Sammsoft, a
software company that has produced other
quality products including Armor and MemTurbo.
A well respected company, the fact that
Advanced Registry Optimizer comes from Sammsoft
does add confidence in the product.
•
Compatibility
–Advanced Registry Optimizer
has been created and developed to ensure
that it will work on Windows 2000and
XP.
•
Features and Functions
– Although we have tested some
registry cleaners that have been good products
even though they were devoid of additionally
features, we have always felt that many of the
best registry cleaners add value to their
product through these features. Unfortunately
Advanced Registry Optimizer is one of those
registry cleaners that is relatively bear when
it comes to features.
| •
Back-up and
Undo – Perhaps the
most basic of features, the
backup and undo feature is
though essential. Advanced
Registry Optimizer has built in
this feature to ensure that a
copy of the Windows registry is
created before any potential
damaging changes are
made. |
The Test
Results
As with most registry cleaners nowadays,
Advanced Registry Optimizer is
available to download straight from the
internet, and it was from the company’s
homepage that we purchased our full copy of the
program. Installation was quick and very
simple; a process that even a computer novice
can follow. Once correctly installed, we then
had Advanced Registry Optimizer run a scan of
our test machine’s registry. The scan was one
of the fastest that we have seen in recent
months, and as well as being fast, Advanced
Registry Optimizer was also one of the most
thorough in its search for errors. The
resulting list of errors found of course
included all of the major errors that we knew
existed, but also picked up the most minor of
errors that many inferior cleaners would have
missed.
We had to restart our machine after the repair
process to find out just how effective Advanced
Registry Optimizer had been. The start up
process was definitely faster, and the whole
processing speed of our computer was much
faster than it had been for many
months.
Additional
Observations
We were disappointed by the lack
of features that are included within Advanced
Registry Optimizer. Despite the fact that there
is a backup and undo feature, we strongly
believe that this is the bare minimum that any
reputable registry cleaner should have. We have
of course tested products that have included
features that have not added any value to their
product, just rehashing features that are
available within the Windows operating system.
At the same time though the best programs
included features that help with the defrag and
compression of the Windows registry and this
enhance the processing speed of Windows.
Overall Impressions
We have given Advanced Registry
Optimizer one of our highest marks
based solely on the results of the scan and
repair process. We have though still rated less
effective than RegCure from ParetoLogic
partially due to the fact that we still believe
it is not quite as thorough as it could be, and
also the fact is that it is let down by the
features that are missing from the package,
where we would have like to have seen
compression and defrag
tools.

Feedback:
This app
kicks butt in the paid version. One of the
fastest, safest, and easiest, registry
cleaners/optimizers on the market today. I
owned a registered version when I had it on XP
and I liked it so much I bought it for my
Vista. Actual user feedback

I
downloaded and ran the Advanced Registry
Optimizer software, and it identified over 900
registry errors. Since this is the trial
version, it only 'fixed' the first
20. Actual user

I'm running
"Windows Vista Home Premium" so I can't comment
on this application in regards to how it is
with other systems. It has a very nice, user
friendly GUI, fast scans and good backups of
your registry prior to cleaning.
