It is difficult to accurately test a utility such as this since every system will have different errors in it\'s registry and different levels of fragmentation, however it seems to me that using Uniblue\'s RegistryBooster has had a positive impact on my system\'s performance and an appreciable boost to startup times. It has very quickly identified and fixed nearly a hundred errors in what is to most people a no-go area, the system registry. And that on what was almost a brand new installation of Windows too! Imagine what it could do for an older more used system...

There are some slight annoyances with this software but they are purely cosmetic – it is set to automatically run a scan every time you load the program and the program is set to automatically load when you start Windows! This is rather pointless in my opinion as you simply do not need to clean and repair your registry every day, but thankfully this behaviour can be truned off in the Settings tab within the software.

All in all Uniblue have created a very useful application which I am sure will be a useful addition to my own tools and utilities and they have certainly converted me to a believer in registry cleaners. I think that this software would make a good addition to anyone\'s toolkit and should be considered almost a must-have item to sit alongside anti-virus and anti-spyware utilities on every system.

For it\'s ease of use and user-friendly interface it is a great product, marred only slightly by it\'s annoying default setting to auto-run and auto-scan, and as such Uniblue\'s RegistryBooster 2010 is awarded Vortez Hardware\'s Silver Award.
