When users make changes in their computer, such as deleting programs or files, the registry does not automatically delete its information about these removed components. The registry, in the long run, may become over-clogged with configuration settings that the computer does not need anymore.

This leads to a significant slowing down of the computer’s performance, and sometimes, errors that may prevent other programs from working properly. Attempting to clean the registry manually could lead to accidental changing of important settings, which are extremely difficult to restore.

A better option would be to install software, a registry cleaner, which can automatically detect these discrepancies and fix them immediately too.

Errorfix is a type of registry cleaner in the market today. A trial version is available for download in their website, but the full version needs to be purchased in order to fix the errors that will be detected by the trial version.

Errorfix does attempt to fix the errors in the computer’s registry by doing a scan and detecting files and settings in it that are not being used to by the computer anymore. Then it cleans up these files and reclaims disk space to speed up the computer’s performance.

The software creates a back up of the original registry too, just in case the user is not happy with the repairs that it has performed. Advanced users also have the option of customizing the scan to limit or expand the error checking, although this should not be attempted by users without complete knowledge of software repair.

Errorfix accomplishes the following tasks:

• Creating a back up of the original registry
• Real-time registry scanning with a window display
• Removing the errors in the registry
• Removing or fixing invalid shortcuts and other registry faults
• Removing information on programs not installed completely
• Keeping an event log
• Creating a schedule for scanning the registry
• Classifying error lists
• Repairing errors in internet explorer
• Virtual Device Drivers and Services

Experts who have tried the product say that Errorfix is indeed successful in doing a check-up of the registry and increasing the computer’s speed and efficiency in performance. This improvement, however, is not as distinct as the cleaning that has been accomplished by other more expensive registry cleaners.

Errorfix, also has lesser additional features compared to other brands. But overall, it satisfied its primary task of detecting errors in the registry and cleaning them up. Errorfix is a no-frills registry cleaner that does what it was required to do.
