Useful product
Not sure if I would've invested at full price, but at the current £[] I thought it was worth a punt.Started on my old desktop (HP s7510 with W7) and let it do everything in the menu. Not much speed increase, but then I'd clean installed W7 not long ago and not installed/uninstalled loads of software and/or updates.Moved onto Mrs.Tikka's four-year old (Vista) laptop next. Ran through the same tasks, and it was excellent. Time to boot to a usable machine down by about a third, and much more responsive once running.We have a Dell (Vista) laptop at work that just gets used for presentations and running some special datalogging software. Because people had loaded all sorts of cr@p (Windows live etc.) in the past the HDD and registry was a real mess. I used the last licence on that and massively improved performance (particularly the datalogging stuff) and earned myself some brownie points with the boss.So, would I recommend to a friend? Yes, if they had an older Windows machine that was starting to get slow. Even if you've tried disc cleanup and defrag, Registry Mechanic MAY still find some more performance from your machine.BUT, remember to ALWAYS back up important files before using.

Delighted purchaser
I am a technologically challenged PC user.This product, and Amazon's prompt provision of it, have been ideal for my purposes.It came quickly, and cheaply.I used it on an obviously messed up registry feeling confident that there was adequate back up being arranged at every stage, and that the overhaul would be effective. That was precisely so in my experience.I shall continue to use the various functions from tme to time, with total confidence and great satisfaction.

OK
This seemed fine to me and the price seemed a bargain!I have read reviews about this software on the internet and it seemed to have fared well compared to the competition which was why I bought it.I must say however, having used this product for over 9 months now, I find it annoying that when I am using the PC it suddenly comes on unexpected.Well...Good Amazon....I was very pleased at the delivery, it came sooner than expected.Overall this product is just OK.

A Good Buy
This software was delivered promptly to the house. It was easy to install and I quickly got used to using the items. It is a type of software which is really needed inside the computer to resolve any registry problems and also maintain with a regular check. A good price. If I had to pick a fault, it is that after a year you have to buy another subscription.

Does the job
My PC is a number of years old, and gone from a sprinter to a fun-runner in the marathon in terms of speed. So after purchasing and loading this on it has now returned to a respectable speed. Easy to use and quite quick to run a scan and fix problems. Well worth the money for me and also covers 3 computers.

Excellent Product
I am not a computer buff but it appears this product is doing a good job and the performance of my PC is definitely much improved. It is very easy to use and can be done as requested at any time, it does'nt kick in when you don't want it.
