There are several factors that could cause your computer to act sluggish. The hardware may be outdated and no longer capable to run modern applications, your system could be infected with some form of malware, or there could be Windows Registry problems that are slowing your system down. The Enigma Software Group-developed application RegHunter can help you with the later situation; it will identify and address Registry problems and thus increase your computer’s speed.

Speaking about speed, you won’t even notice when the download and installation process of RegHunter completes. The download is of less than 1MB, which is incredibly lightweight, so it will complete in a blink. Then a setup wizard will guide you through the process of installing RegHunter – it will complete in a blink as well. It must be mentioned here that RegHunter provides support for multiple languages; the setup wizard asks you to pick the language of your choice. You can select between English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, and other languages.

When up and running, RegHunter will begin a free diagnostic scan of your PC with the aim of identifying Registry issues. The scan may take a while, depending on your system and how many problems RegHunter finds. The scan completed, RegHunter tells you how many errors it found and presents you with a list that groups the errors into several categories. A registered version of RegHunter will address all the problems the application detects; a trial version though will only address a very limited number of problems. On top of that, a trial version will not defragment your registry and will not let you create a support ticket.

Before doing any changes to the Windows Registry, it pays to prepare for the eventuality that something will go wrong. Before addressing the problems it finds, RegHunter offers to create a complete backup of your registry. On top of that, you can create a System Restore point from within RegHunter.

RegHunter has some auto-start functionality to offer as well: it displays a list of applications configured to start automatically (you can remove, enable, disable any entry on the list) and it monitors the Registry to detect when any application attempts to modify autostart registry settings.

RegHunter is visually appealing and does its job rapidly and efficiently. If Registry problems are slowing your computer down, the functionality RegHunter has to offer is very welcomed.


Pros

RegHunter provides support for a long list of languages. The interface is good looking and easy to figure out. It scans for, detects, and fixes Registry problems. Ask to create a backup before addressing Registry problems. It displays a list of active processes and a list of applications configured to start automatically. Create a System Restore point with a simple mouse click.

Cons

The trial version has limited functionality to offer: it will only address a small number of Registry problems and will not defragment the Registry.
