Most
free register cleaners cost money. That whole software segment seems to be populated by scammers who advertise "free" software and then deliver software that doesn't do anything useful until you pay to "upgrade" it.
I am not against commercial software, but I do think that people should be upfront about what they are offering.
The
Eusing Free Registry Cleaner seems to be a pleasantly surprising exception.
The Eusing Free Registry Cleaner is an
actually free registry cleaner that enables you to safely clean and repair registry problems with a few simple mouse clicks.
The Eusing Free Registry Cleaner cleans the following Windows components:
- Custom Controls: When applications are installed, they register their custom control file locations as new entries in the registry.The software scans this section for the registered custom controls in the registry and detects invalid registry entries which point to files that are no longer present on the hard drive.
- Software Locations: When applications are installed,they register their location in the registry. The software scans this section and detects registry entries where software applications are no longer present at their specified locations.
- Windows Fonts: Windows Fonts section contains paths and related information to installed fonts in your Windows. The software scans this section and check that the fonts referenced in the registry are still located in the fonts folder of the Windows operation system.

The software scans this section for file extensions which are no longer associated with any application installed on your system.
