Software descriptionReimage – PC Repair software, as mentioned in their site has “exclusive access to a dynamically updated web repository of fresh system components – used as “spare” parts for the repair. No other PC repair/registry repair software on the market offers this.”  Currently version 1.3.3.4 is being tested.

Installation/Scan:

Attempt 1: Installation took about 30 seconds. The software started to scan my PC, waited again and in less than a minute there was an Error – “Reimage cannot scan as OS not supported”. The problem was the Vista OS running on my Acer laptop.

Update: Reimage has since launched Windows 7, Vista versions.

Attempt 2: Now I wasn’t going to give up easily so I looked for another computer. This time I used my Sony Vaio with Win XP which is really old with more junk on it than you can imagine.  In fact, this is the slowest PC I own. I was able to install the software fast with no problems and it scanned my PC in about 8-10 min.

Errors Found: Reimage gives a detailed description of your PC hardware, RAM, paging file size etc; but what I like is that it compares your PC data with the world average & recommended settings in nice graphical display.

Who are they? : SpeedyPc ™ is a product of Speedy PC Software based out of  Vancouver, B.C., Canada.

Software description: As mentioned on their website, SpeedyPC is a powerful computer utility that allows a user to increase their system speed, reduce error messages, and eliminate desktop clutter. SpeedyPC scans the Windows Database for junk data, and provides an advanced Tuner (Start-up Tuner) to optimize system start up time and improve overall performance. With SpeedyPC, you can eliminate the problems that cause a slow computererror messages, and desktop clutter.

Compatibility: SpeedyPC works only on windows based operating systems: Windows 7 (Both 32/64 – bit), Vista, XP, ME, 2000 and 98SE Operating Systems.

Website: SpeedyPc website is a very well designed one; menu options are easy to navigate, it has FAQs, support and articles with more information that can be useful. Good tips and overall a good knowledge base.

Download: With a bad internet connection of just 564 kbps, it took less than a minute to download a 2.89MB file.
Installation/Scan: Took just a few seconds to install SpeedyPc software. My computer configuration Laptop Acer 5920GIntel Centrino, 4 GB ram, Radeon 256mb, loaded with Windows Vista. It’s loaded with quite a few .exe files and some Trojans, lots of junk software, adware etc.

What I like the best about SpeedyPC are the other options that are available:

Restore – It has a complete backup of all the scans that you would have performed with  a date tag and your system can be restored back to the original configuration should you feel that something has been deleted by accidently.

Tuner – Another good option available to play with SpeedyPC is the Tuner where you can select or the deselect applications you want to run at start-up. Your start-up files are usually the reason for slow boot up of your pc. By using this option you can boost the speed by which your system boots.

Couple of other great options with SpeedyPc which I have not seen in many PC cleaners is that you can actually schedule SpeedyPC to run any time you want, for single or multiple scans say once a month, really nice. The ignore lists allows you to pick some registry ddl files that you do not want to scan and add to list so that SpeedyPC can ignore them when run.

Errors Found: Did a quick scan, took about 2 min, and got a detailed report on the scan with 1500 errors, most of the junk detected had corrupt dll files, active error, registry file errors etc. It was a good report although it could have been more detailed for the technical guys.

I clicked to clear errors; got a pop up saying some errors have been cleared but need a full version which takes me to their site to purchase.

Order Purchase: Pretty neat form, filled in my name and email address and got to a page to select my license. You get an option to pick for single, 2, 3, 5 or 10 computers for all SpeedyPc softwares.

Payment method: My favourite mode PayPal was available apart from most credit cards that are accepted.

Cost: $29.97 after $10 off is pretty decent compared other softwares that I have come across. Price for multiple licences works out cheaper for small offices or labs.

Execution/Repair: Finished paying through PayPal got my license key for SpeedyPc in my email went ahead and cleaned up the errors. It took about 3 min more but which was good enough.

Post Scan Review: Immediately after my initial SpeedyPc scan I couldn’t resist but went ahead with another scan, got some errors again. This would make most people think!!! Well, windows OS has a habit of creating empty registry files irrespective of being deleted and do no harm. All I needed to do was

Windows Reimage Registry Cleaner is a software program that scans, detects and fixes several problems in your PC. It is a second generation online PC repair software tool that is widely used by many computer technicians all over the world. It works by scanning the Windows Operating System and uncovering problems related to your computer’s hardware and its stability as well as security issues.

If your PC’s hardware has got problems such as low hard disk speed, low memory, poor CPU Power and excessively high CPU temperatures, the software detects these problems and offers useful recommendations on how to resolve them.

What separates Reimage Registry cleaner from standard antivirus software is the fact that it actually repairs the damage caused by a virus infection as opposed to antivirus software which simply gets rid of the virus without repairing the damage already inflicted on your PC. Reimage software is certified by McAfee and Truste.

It is also certified for use on all Windows XP versions Windows Media Player, Windows 7, Vista and Internet Explorer. Installing the Reimage software only takes a few minutes and is easy .You do not need a computer specialist or technician to do it for you since everything is straightforward and intuitive.

 Whenever you use Windows Reimage for your PC repairs, the software is able to access its repository of files and thereafter downloads, replaces and installs Windows files that may be damaged or missing in your PC. The software, therefore, effectively reinstalls Windows in situ without any need for you to go through the rigorous reinstallation of your software. Reimage software fixes files that are part of the Windows system and not other vendor files.

When you launch the free Reimage scanner, it accesses the Windows registry and tests it for problems. It also checks for any damaged or missing or Windows files. The Reimage software reads the Windows’ crash log, checks out and reports problems such as too little memory, or too little available hard disk space.

The program tells you if the software problems are not something it can repair. Once you pay the purchase fee of $69.95, you are given the Reimage license key that lets you unlock Reimages repair phase.

The one intriguing fact is that Reimage software is the only one of its kind. No other software in the market, or registry cleaner for that matter, does what it does. For this reason alone, Reimage stands out.

Hope this helps!
