I've been using Registry Fix by MovKit Software for over five years now on three different systems and have not experienced a bad moment using it. It finds and repairs an adequate number of PC registry errors,Registry Fix Review — Can You Go Wrong With This Cleaner? Articles keeps my systems running at optimum performance, and its graphic user interface is easy to navigate. While this registry cleaner may not find and fix as many possible errors or inconsistencies as other cleaners claim to repair, in testing it against some of the best in the industry, it more than holds its own finding and fixing errors that can slow any system down.

That said, do I think it's the best registry cleaner to be found on the market? Probably not. It's not even the least expensive. Although it does have many of the extra features that people have come to expect from a leading registry utility. Registry Fix comes with four on-board Advanced Options: a Browser Helper Object Manager for Internet Explorer, a Start-up Program Manager, an Add/Remove Program Manager, and a Full Registry Backup Utility. In this respect, it is a solid registry utility.

On the Pro side of the coin, Registry Fix is easy to use. It scans files relatively quickly (usually within two to five minutes, depending on the number of files on the system). It is very reliable in fixing all the essential problems that cause a system to become sluggish or slow to respond. Although it doesn't advertise having an optimizer tool, it kept my computer's registry compacted enough during five years of heavy usage such that the optimizer in another cleaner gave it a 99% optimization okay! So much for not having an optimizer feature.

On the Con side of things, the Registry Fix website is relatively bare of information about fixing registry problems and not very helpful in educating the potential user about registry problems. The help section in the program for users is not very detailed. Some people may also feel that it doesn't run a very comprehensive search for errors as it concentrates mostly on the high priority errors while the low priority error do not show up in its scans at all. But this latter item can be a red herring, leaving a wrong impression about this repair tool effectiveness. 

Overall, a user will definitely not go wrong using the Registry Fix utility. While it's not very fancy and can tend to be on the pricey side, in overall performance it does a more than adequate job in maintaining a healthy registry, and with regular usage it will keep your system running smooth and error free.
