The Way Registry Cleaners Scan Work

A lot of common registry cleaning softwares base their scanning on one of two ma
jor techniques, either they can use smart and safe method, or the deep and bulk
method. It is very helpful for the users to find out which of these techniques t
o use as it can affect the performance of your system significantly.
The Safe and Smart scanning technique scans you registry very carefully and only
detect genuine registry conflicts. All registry cleaning softwares, which use t
his technique, classify all the detected errors into three classes: safe to del
ete, not fully safe to delete, and unknown. This technique makes sure that all t
he detected errors are carefully and fully scrutinized before displaying them on
the screen.
On the other hand, Bulk and Deep way of scanning display all the detected errors
as simply 'errors' and also include all these in to unknown entries. As a resul
t it displays far more system and registry errors on the screen that you may thi
nk that this is really a good and effective program. But in fact by displaying a
ll errors in unknown category could cause a deletion of entries that may be vita
l for your registry.
In contrast, Safe and Smart technique, will display less errors by thoroughly an
alyzing the nature of the error entries, Hence ensuring that no vital informatio
n is displayed and no entries are wrongly deleted.
Therefore it is very significant that a user of a computer should first find out
which technique their Windows registry cleaning software is using for scanning
the registry for errors. It is also important to know that the registry cleaning
software should also perform de-fragmentation of the registry after completing
the scan, in order to clean up any vacant spaces and left-behind entry keys that
may affect the system performance. The registry cleaning software should also p
erform a full backup of the registry so that you can restore the registry in the
event of disaster.
