The Battle For A
Healthy Operating System
Paid Vs. Free Registry Cleaner
There
has always been a constantly huge demand for a free registry cleaner in
the past decade. We are living in the digital age, after all,
where the entire world is united by the internet. The World
Wide Web has become a necessity for a lot of people. Hence,
many businesses and many households have invested on computers. 92% of
these computers are running under the Windows operating system.
Windows OS maintains a directory wherein the options and settings for
the various processes of the platform are stored. This
directory is called the registry. Every function, every
program, and every hardware detail are represented in the
registry. As such, the registry is said to be that section of
the Windows OS that is most prone to danger. Readily
available, and preferably cost-friendly, solutions are needed.
And this is why a free registry cleaner is highly desired.
But how does a free registry cleaner stack up against commercial
releases?
If they are lined up against each other, which will win the battle for
a healthy operating system: the free registry cleaner or the paid
registry fix?
Paid Vs. Free Registry Cleaner Round 1: Changing With The Changing Times
One of the major obstacles encountered by a publisher of a free
registry cleaner is, without a doubt, funding. Revenues, of
course, are needed to make the product even better. Revenues
are used for further research and development, to fix bugs that are
discovered, and to upgrade the solution so that it may cope up with the
changing times.
Commercial reg cleaners don’t have this problem. A
percentage of the profit they earn is allotted to
R&D. As is the case with paid digital solutions, the
customer is often awarded free updates for a specific period of time,
sometimes even for a lifetime. This greatly extends the
product life of such a registry fix.
Paid Vs. Free Registry Cleaner Round 2: Show Me The Money
Naturally, a free registry cleaner will have to get its revenues
somewhere. But if not from purchase prices, from where, you
might ask?
Most free registry cleaners sell advertising spots. This is
how they generate earnings necessary for publishing such programs.
A free registry cleaner can display advertisements on the download
page. Or a free registry cleaner can display advertisements
on the interface of the program itself.
This may annoy some users who want a clean, seamless experience when
using such a free registry cleaner. They may consider this an
evil, even. But it is a necessary evil, one which ensures
that the free registry cleaner remains, well, free.
It goes without saying that customers of commercial registry fixes do
not have to suffer such inconvenience.
Paid Vs. Free Registry Cleaner Round 3: Free Vs. Pseudo Free
Despite the disadvantages lodged against users of a free registry
cleaner, its saving grace is the fact that it can be enjoyed without
having to spend a single cent.
Surely, most commercial reg cleaners offer trial versions of their
products, but often, such trial versions have incomplete
features. Also, because the need to clean the registry may
arise at any time, there is no guarantee that the trial version will
remain usable when such a time comes.
Free is free, and there is no denying the empowering nature of the same.
Because of this, a free registry cleaner will always be the primary
option for most PC users.

messages and was freezing up.
My brother recommended I try RegCure. I used the free scan and found
363 errors. Using RegCure fixed my PC and has it running like brand
new!"
