Registry Mechanic is one of many registry cleaners on the market. I’m personally not a fan of it, although I’m aware that many people are. There’s many reasons why I as well as many other people do not like Registry Mechanic and in this blog post I will explain.
My top dislike of Registry Mechanic is it’s lack of features. There are many issues that need to be solved when dumping out your registry files. A clogged registry system can lead to sluggish computer behavior, slow download speeds, vulnerability to viruses, worms, and trojans, and it effects the overall processing speed of your computer.
Often times, people take their pc in for repair thinking it’s a virus and it’s more often a clogged registry system, but the pc repairman won’t tell you that. They’ll charge you $100 bucks for a diagnostic, a $100 bucks for “the latest and greatest” virus protector when all you really need is a $30 buck registry cleaner.
Anyways… Back to the original point… As I said above, Registry Mechanic really lacks features. The most disappointing thing is the lack of features it provides in the trial. The trial version only allows a limited amount of features to be accessed so you never get the full effect of the software. This is a bummer.
I realize for obvious reasons why a software company wouldn’t want you to test the whole software. As the saying goes, “why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free.”
In addition to my dislike of Registry Mechanic, it is important to note the numerous other disappointed users.
Here’s what other people are saying about Registry Mechanic:
“This Mechanic could be friendlier. The compacter was similarly crippled, and the defrag and system optimization buttons had no effect.”

This is another rip-off product that says it is free when it really is not. I am going into Add/Remove Programs and deleting the wicked thing off my PC.”

Warning do not install! I installed on 32bit Vista now can’t use my PC.I purchased this since it looks like their marketing spin doctor’s have spent a ton on getting their information on various sites so it shows up in almost every search.
I installed this program then chose optimize my registry. It did this then forced me to restart. When it came back up it said installing updates and not to restart my computer it did this then restarted.
When it rebooted it came up and said the same thing and shutdown again. Now it is in this continuous loop of rebooting starting up and rebooting.
Stay away from this product whatever you do.

My Registry Cleaner Recommendation:
Since Registry Mechanic is a complete dud, I checked out a few other registry cleaners that I like that also have great reviews by other users. My top registry cleaner recommendation is: Registry Fix.
Registry Fix does everything a strong and solid registry cleaner does. It’s highly rated and is award winning.
What really separates Registry Fix apart from other registry cleaners is its additional tools. Many registry cleaners like Registry Mechanic only clean your Windows registry files. However, it’s important to note that Registry Fix goes above and beyond the norm.
There’s a feature I really like which allows you to uninstall software. It’s a no-brainer that PC’s have a feature pre-installed that does this, but the problem is that the pre-installed uninstaller doesn’t completely wipe away software. There’s always bits and pieces left behind. This stuff gets placed in the Windows registry system and also disperses around your computer. As long as that stuff floats around, no matter what registry cleaner you use, it will never completely go away and this is what causes your computer to run slow.
Registry Fix completely gets rid of software not just bits and pieces. This also helps free up much needed speed on your hard drive which also helps your PC run faster.
Because of the additional tools, ease, and user-friendly interface, Registry Fix gets my top recommendation as the best registry cleaner available today. Registry cleaner also offers a free scan to show you whats infected on your computer prior to purchase. So before you buy, you can try.
Registry Cleaner also offers a full 60-day money back guarantee, so you have nothing to worry about. If it doesn’t work, they’ll give you a full refund.

Time Magazine recently broke a story reporting on what they believe to be the Top 10 Biggest Tech Failures of the past decada. Crappy Microsoft makes the list twice with two separate products. As if we didn’t already know Microsoft was crap, Time Magazine rubs it in their face and reminds consumers even more.
The FBI is social networking now. Isn’t this like an invasion of privacy? Doesn’t the government interfere in our lives enough as is? Do they really need a Facebook account. Especially since that dreaded Patriot Act that strips our civil liberties away.
Digg’s lead architect Joe Stump recently left the social networking giant known as Digg to do his own thing. He’s teaming up with Social Thing creator Matt Galligan. Can you really blame him! Digg is getting bought out by Google and when that happens, he’ll probably lose his job. 
I’m on Facebook like most young people are, but recently I’ve been thinking about cancelling my account. Facebook is being taken over by moms, dads, and grandparents. Am I the only one that sees this? Am I the only one that has a problem with this? 
Sopcast is an internet tv capable program that allows you to watch tv shows and movies by getting them through a peer to peer network. Sopcast is garbage and here’s the reasons why:
Internet Download Manager is an application that allows you to increase the speed of your downloads. In addition they also have other features that allow you to download flash videos from sites like Youtube and other video sharing sites.
FlashGet is a download acceleration tool published by an Asian software manaufacturer. To keep it simple… FlashGet is no good. 
Download Accelerator Plus works! In fact it’s the only download optimizer that does work. There are several others out there such as Flash Get and Internet Download Manager.
