The time has come when computer owners are beginning to realize a good registry cleaner is a necessary part of their computer maintenance arsenal.
We all already realize we must use a virus/spyware cleaner often, and hopefully, we all realize we need some sort of backup system to keep copies of our important files.
It is important to keep the registry clean because new operating systems, namely Windows XP and Windows Vista are so large their registries become easily corrupted. Since Windows Operating Systems are composed of registry files, a corrupted registry means the operating system is corrupted. This will make the computer's speed suffer tremendously. Even worse, it leads to computer errors and crashes.
There are many good cleaners on the market. Most of the better ones are inexpensive, particularly when compared to the cost of losing important files from your hard drive. Among the top ones around today there are some that are said to be free. In this article, we will discuss these free programs, how effective they are and if they are really worth having even though they are supposed to be cost nothing.
It's free, but you still have to pay
With these free cleaners, you're allowed to scan your computer and find how many errors exist. Then, you're allowed to repair up to 50 incidents of corruption. In reality, 50 incidents of corruption is nothing. Many times, when the computer is scanned for the first time, hundreds of incidents of corruption are found.
Once the 50 incidents have been removed, the free program will present you with a pop-up that is just about impossible to get rid of. This pop-up acts as a sort of black mail to get you to pay $30 or so for the program and then, in return for your money, the pop-up will disappear.
Before you're allowed to use the software to scan your computer, you'll have to send the company your e-mail address. With this information, the company will send you e-mails continuously in an attempt to get you to buy products from them.
If you do buy from them, they will continue sending you e-mails anyway. I guess this is a fringe benefit of being a paid customer for something that is advertised as costing nothing.
Certified Vista Compatible?
Also, though this may not be important to everyone, every free registry cleaner I've looked at so far was not Vista compatible. Certainly, none of them wore the coveted title of being Vista certified.

In short, these programs are not at all free, and from my experience, I haven't seen any of them that were very effective, either. It is usually the case that you get what you pay for. However, this is not true of software for cleaning an operating system that is said to be free because they cost as much, if not more than some of the best cleaning programs available today.
The best registry cleaner
The best way to find a registry cleaner that will serve you well at a reasonable price is to buy one on the recommendation of someone you can trust. This is always that the best way to buy any product, particularly electronic products.
Knowing someone who has had firsthand experience with such a product will take the guesswork out of buying one. Then, once you've found the right one, you can be the person who does the recommending.
Though the price of software that keeps your operating system operating efficiently is not high, the price of using one that causes your computer harm is a very high! Therefore, hearsay from someone who has experience with a cleaning program is important information.

In closing, remember a good registry cleaner is important because it removes false entries from the operating system and false entries are left in an operating system when something has been deleted from the computer.
One thing that commonly gets deleted from a computer is spyware and viruses. So actually, a registry cleaner finishes the job a spyware/virus cleaner starts. So you always have a good one on hand as well as a good spyware/virus scanner. And make sure to always have your important files backed up!
