What It Does
Sanitizes the Windows Registry removing any links to missing program files, remnants of uninstalled programs, hardware configurations which have negatively impacted computer’s performance, resulting in correct registry entries.
Product Details
Having registry corruption can be one of the most frustrating experiences of a PC user. Registry Booster will scan the registry and report back all errors found in any of the hives. Symptoms of the registry problems could be sluggish performance, quirky errors when running programs or unexpected system crashes.
Upon launching the application, a system health check is displayed with a visual meter of detected registry damage.
The software scan is completely very quickly, and provided a progress meter while processing. Within seconds a report was returned with numerous errors.
Settings can be configured to check system errors, user errors or third party related errors. A detail of which registry key contains the invalid entry can be viewed in the event you’d prefer to make manual registry changes, an action strongly frowned upon by Microsoft and most other operating system consultants.
Once the scan process is completed, you have several choices: Repair, or Restore. Because the software logs each registry entry change, in the event these changes are infective or result in additional
problems, you can revert back to all the original registry entries.
There may be times when you want to protect certain registry locations from the scan, perhaps in a troubleshooting session. If necessary, enter the hive path which should be ignored.
Another process to speed up your computer operations is to also defrag the registry, and Registry Booster includes this tool from the Registry Scan tab.
Security
Registry Booster will work behind a proxy server.

The only contact with a technical support representative is after an online form is completed to create a help ticket.

Conclusion
Registry corruption can be subtle but deadly. When it happens, outside of a good system backup, having Registry Booster on hand could ease your frustrations and limit poor system performance. With ease of use, simple screen menus an undo feature, and Microsoft’s gleaming stamp of approval, Registry Booster is an expensive and outstanding choice for registry concerns.
