Study: Registry Cleaners Cause more Harm than Good
A study on registry cleaner software conducted by registry and maintenance company Macecraft Software indicates that registry cleaners frequently fail to solve computer problems.
Computer software users who suffer from a slow computer turn frequently to registry cleaners in an attempt to avoid getting a computer repair.
Registry cleaner software is a utility program that scans the Windows Registry and looks for outdated and invalid entries.
Macecraft experts said they carried out an in-depth study of the 31 most-used registry cleaner products. They concluded that most registry cleaners were more focused on finding junk data rather than actual, serious registry errors. So, for instance, when a serious error was manually introduced, only one product found it, while most claim to fix registry errors.
The Macecraft experts added that 18 out of 31 products did not follow the recommended practices and left data behind after uninstallation, causing more registry errors to be formed.
