Thoughts on Wise Registry Cleaner

WiseCleaner.com releases some great software, like a file search tool, a program uninstaller, and this registry cleaner. Our favorite features are definitely the automatic registry backups and the ability to set a cleaning schedule.

We mention in our Registry Cleaner FAQ that you don't need to clean your registry on a regular basis. This means the scheduling feature isn't actually something you'll need to use, but it's worth mentioning because most registry cleaners only offer this feature in their paid versions.

Something else we like is when a scan is finished, Wise Registry Cleaner clearly shows which registry paths are free of issues and which need to be fixed. It also shows "unsafe" registry errors, which make for an easy way to quickly determine what sort of problems were found.

The program updates nearly every month, so it's really nice that you don't need to download new updates manually. Just click the update link at the bottom of the program, and if an update is required, it will download the setup file and install it for you.

After trying CCleaner, we'd certainly give Wise Registry Cleaner a go before using any other registry cleaners.
