All righty Win7 forum community. I promised you a review, so here it is. This is ONLY for RegistryBooster, as I have not yet reviewed SpeedUpMyPC.
First of all, how did I review the RegistryBooster?
1. BACKUP REGISTRY!!!
2. Ran the Registry scan
3. MANUALLY read through and corrected any results that were repairable (i.e.: misguided paths, missing .dll files, undefined default programs, etc.)
3a. I did notice ONE insignificant fault not reported by the scanner. It was a mere misguided path. Nothing big, so really not of any concern. Just a note that RegistryBooster did miss at least one fault.
4. Re-scanned registry, no new faults detected.
5. Restored ORIGINAL registry
6. Re-scanned, all prior faults were found.
7. Ran the repairs.
7a. RegisrtyBooster only knows one action: DELETE all faulty keys!! However, this is true with many registry scanners. MY recommendation: NO MATTER WHAT SCANNER YOU USE... ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS read through the faults for any that can be corrected, rather than whimsically deleted.
8. Final analysis of RegistryBooster
It works. It did miss one tiny, insignificant, misguided path, but that was all. Unfortunately, there are no registry scanners out there that try to locate and redirect misguided paths, or download and replace missing .dll files, or set default programs. This is why you should ALWAYS read the fault reports and make as many manual corrections as you can. RegistryBooster provided a decent and easy to use interface, read through the registry quickly, and provided a reliable fault report. I would recommend this product. Just, again, be sure to ALWAYS read the fault report and correct what you can. Otherwise, any faulty keys will be simply... deleted.
Once I use and review SpeedUpMyPC, I shall post my findings on that as well.
On that note, it is now 0400hrs, I have yet to sleep, so off to bed I go. Good night y'all! Or... rather... Good Early Morning... >_<
