When you purchase a new PC, it is extremely fast, boots quicker than your previous machine and general computer use seems a lot more snappy. This isn’t simply down to the new and much faster hardware, it’s due to fact you have a fresh installed copy of Windows.
Why does your system slow over time? Every copy of Windows, from the original Windows through to 7, has a component called the Registry which could be described as a central database of information. It stores information about Windows, the software you’ve installed and the different users that have access to your computer. The more users who have access to your machine and the more software you install (and uninstall), your Registry will enlarge with additional information, causing your machine to spend more time searching your Registry, which results in extra time taken to perform tasks.
As Windows doesn’t provide any automatic tools to enable you to compact or optimise your Registry, you’ll need a third-party tool such as Registry Mechanic. This is a wizard-driven tool that will enable you to perform a search for problems in your Registry and then make necessary changes, automatically. You don’t need to worry if anything goes wrong as Registry Mechanic will backup your existing Registry and even create a system restore point, so you can quickly revert back to a previous instance of Windows, if required.
If you want to keep on top of your Registry, you can choose to start Registry Mechanic when you boot your computer and it will quickly check for problems in the background and offer to fix potential problems.
The latest Registry Mechanic 2011 (v10) will securely delete files from your computer, bleaches free space, ships with plugin support and more.

Poor software, unscrupulous company
I purchased PC Tools over a year ago in the hope it would help keep my PC tuned. As an IT prfessional of 25 years standing I quickly realized the software was not up to much and it was uninstalled in under a week. A few days ago, I received a letter from PC Tools stating they were going to debit my account for this year's subscription - this came as a surprise. I tried to log on to cancel this. Their system would let me update my card details, but not cancel the alleged subscription. I wrote to them telling them that I did not subscribe and wanted no subscription. This was ignored. Yesterday, they debited my account £29.95 - in my opinion this is tantamount to theft. Steer well clear of this product and of PC Tools the company.

I will never use another PC Tools Product
Last June, I got a free 1 year version of this product from VNUNet. The license was to have been for a year, including support. Today it has been 6 months and 1 day, and the product no longer works (. I have the e-mail with my serial number and the date ) When I tried to get the person on their website to reveal that once the license expires, so does the software (effectively making it leased) he passed me off to another who finally admitted it. Fine, but when I found that I had my e-mail with date and 1 year license, with the date above, I found that the site had changed. This was in the span of 3.5 hours. I suspect they changed the support policy (and site) to eliminate any contact without purchase to avoid the problems like me and my friend, as we both found our products non-working well before the end of the promised year.

A bit too aggressive
Will delete restore points without you realising it until you want to do a restore.
