Reg Sweep scans your computer’s registry for various known problems such as corrupt file paths, invalid shortcuts and many more. It then corrects these errors, improving your system’s performance and stability.

RegSweep makes backups of your registry before each scan and stores them under the ‘Backup’ section. Whereas some other tools we’ve tested make backing up pretty tough, it’s easy to do here.

Our tests have indicated that RegSweep is a reliable and consistent repair program - it does perform like what it says it can on the product’s site. RegSweep found several errors on our test system, although not as many alleged errors as some of the other products we tested. A real problem here because this tool misses loads of errors that the other ones pick up. In some tests it found only around 30% of the errors that it’s competitors picked up on.

RegSweep simplifies the process of scanning & repairing the registry. All you have to do is load up the program, start the scan, and then follow the prompts to conduct a comprehensive registry/error analysis and repair cycle.

RegSweep will repair your system on a permission-based structure - asking your approval before making any crucial changes, removals or modifications. And, like all industry-standard registry cleaners, RegSweep makes backup of of your system settings (including your registry) before it “goes to work”.

RegSweep supports its software with an intuitive staff of technicians through an online helpdesk system. We couldn’t find anything in the way of help files. (Beyond a couple of basic pages on how to get started). If you were a new user, looking to learn more about how the tool worked, you’d be disappointed here.
