Testing Registry Cleaner for Windows

Testing cash register Cleaner for WindowsAbstract register is a collection of selective informationbase that stores condition range in Microsoft windows run strategy. separately Registry item is accessed by navigating with a designated path of keys and sub-keys. (Wang et al. 2004). As Windows operating system needs to keep track of exclusively changes to configuration of program that run on the computer. Windows register is the tool as database that stores all information near programs and is controlled by window operating system. The thing of windows register include as a tool to store all data from programs, store program setting include security setting, store setting for OS configuration and hardw ar devices. The Windows Registry provide be accessed apply Registry Editor Program. The register contains two elements keys and values. Making changes to these values or keys development editor will affect the setting of a point value control. This paper is to riddl e a cash register keener to c ar enhance the pc performance. The interrogatory is done by testing by installs cash register wipeer into a few pc and record the test data. We in any case review related journal and conduct fall out in order to gather related detail. After that we summarized the data from the data we peaceful.KeywordsRegistry, Windows operating system, Registry Editor Program1. IntroductionNew computer systems ar always running fast, unless as clock increases the computer system festinate will stepwise become slower. When a computer becomes gradually saturated, the computer system speed becomes slower as well inconspicuously(Zhu subgenus Chen 2009). This will attain trouble to the substance ab subprogramrs. Nowadays there are about 1 billion of computer users in the world. In a nonher word, intimately every of them will face the computer degradation chore. Most of the user will try a few ways to rectify the efficacious of pc and one of the ways is b y using register washed. roughly of the user will also think that registry spick is up to(p) to consider viruses in the windows registry. The aim of this study is to study the effective of registry calorie-freeable to helper improve efficient of the pc and to test that is registry really able to remove virus in the window registry. The definition of user about registry tidy is also been collected through the survey.2. Material and MethodThis research is done by using vicenary method and qualitative method. Quantitative method, survey is been use to collect the small talk and opinion of the computer user about registry spick. Qualitative method, sample is done by using a few pc and installs a few registries changeer in each pc. Then the data is collected when running the registry pillage. Every data collect in the survey and experiment then is been summarized.This research uses questionnaire survey to collect users opinions and satisfaction levels of using registry fresh employment based on the nominal stimulate and 5-point Likert scales. We need to determine the sentience of respondents about the registry cleaner application, which endure of registry cleaner application that bring the most benefits to respondents and what problem(s) will be encounter when using registry cleaner application.This experiment is done by using one pc for scanning and cleans the phantasms three pc is use when trying use the registry cleaner to clean the virus.For scanning and clean flaws, one pc is installed with a few registries cleaner then galvanise the experiment follows the step-Step 1 scan the registry fault using the registry clean, at the same cadence record the time it needed to scanStep 2 After scan, backup the registry error found (record how some(prenominal) errors found) then clean itStep 3 Run scan again and record how many leftover error foundStep 4 Recover back the entire cleaned registry and use another registry cleaner than needed to be test then start from Step 1.For the clean virus test, virus is been create and put in the window registry. Then uses the registry try to clean the virus. The result is then recorded.3. Result and DiscussionTable 1 analyze between genders with their informedness about PC degrading overtime.Noticed PC degrade overtimeNo noticed PC degraded overtimeGenderYesNoFrequencyPercentageFrequencyPercentage anthropoid15100%00%Female1173%427%Overall Total2687%413%The above Table 1 has shown that the male and womanish with their awareness about the pc degrading overtime. With the control panel above, we compute that 87% of respondents aware that their pc are degrading overtime and barely 13% of good deal didnt notice that their pc are degrade overtime. With the percentage, respondents aware that their pc are degrading overtime, male (58%) are slightly higher than female (42%). With this tabularize, we can dwell that male have more concern with their pc speed rather than female.Figure 1 S hown the purposes of respondents using registry cleaner applicationFigure 2 Shown the reasons of respondents using registry cleaner applicationWith the table 4 shown at above, we can know that most of the respondents are using it for the purpose of increase their pc performance speed. 31% of tidy sum use registry cleaner to improve PC performance, 23% of respondents uses it to decipherable redundant data in registry, 23% of respondents use it to fix debase data in registry and 19% of respondent use it to undefendable viruses hide in registry. Based on table 5, reasons of respondents using registry cleaner mostly is because they need to improve their pc performance. With the percentage shown in table 5, they faced problems with their new pc is fairly new only when performance already low is the main reason and the time unavoidable to start up their pc is the second reason make them motivation to use registry cleaner. Respondents that encounter low performance with their new PC took 33% of overall, startup time quite long took 32%, and pc crashes without reason took 23%. However low performance and startup time long took the highest percentage as overall, we also cannot neglect that pc crashes is also a reason that respondents want to use registry cleaner. In table 4, one of the purposes is using registry cleaner to fix corrupted data. It took 23% as overall of purposes respondent to use registry cleaner. Figure 3 shown the satisfactory of respondents in using registry cleaner to improve their pc performance.With the table 6 shown above, 40% of people agree that registry cleaner able to improve the pc performance, 20% of respondents totally agree with it, and 17% of people not convinced(predicate) with the performance of registry cleaner and only 23% of people not well-provided with the registry cleaner application. Hence, we can conclude that most of the people believe that the registry cleaner are able to improve pc performance.Figure 4 shown the sati sfaction of respondents in using registry cleaner to reduce go throughrences of crashes.With the table 7 shown above, 40% of people agree that registry cleaner able to reduce the occurrences of crashes, 7% of respondents totally agree with it and 33% of people not for sure with the function of registry cleaner and only 20% of people not satisfied with the registry cleaner application. Hence, we can conclude that most of the people are agree with register cleaner application able to resolve problem of crashes.Figure 5 Shown the satisfaction of respondents in using registry cleaner to fix corrupted data.With the table 8 shown above, respondents are not sure that registry cleaner application able to fix their corrupted data in their registry. It may because the output of the function cannot clearly be determined. It cannot be evaluate due to the errors occur inside the registry may not affect the pc performance virtuallytimes. Hence, most of the respondents are not sure with it.Tabl e 2 Experiment (effectiveness of registry cleaner)CC Cleaner wise CleanerJetCleanAuslogicAMLScan time9 seconds49 seconds32 seconds22 seconds2 minute 6 secondsNumber of error (first)11448935328963205Number of error (second)0121123Remove virus give away to remove virusFail to remove virusFail to remove virusFail to remove virusFail to remove virusWhen we do the experiment, we never meet any problem occur after using the registry cleaner to clean the registry but it also more safe to backup the registry onward clean it as the registry cleaner may clean up about registry and create errors.Base on Table 1, we can chance upon that CC cleaner has the fastest speed when scanning but in only can name very less errors in the registry. From this table we can say that JetClean is the most effective even it is slower when equivalence to CC Cleaner and Auslogic Registry Cleaner but it is able to detect the most errors.And from Table 1 it also tells us that registry cleaner is not able to rem ove the virus that already in the window registry. The reason that registry cleaners wont clean up viruses is that although they are harmful, registry cleaning software isnt written to be able to recognize viruses, so they can look similar innocent, substantial software to the program. (Brimmer, 2013)From the survey and experiment, we can conclude that most registry cleaner user use register cleaner in order to improve their pc performance without knowing how register clean actually help improve their pc performance. Some of the registry cleaner like CC Cleaner may have other frisk like pick to enable and disable program at startup and clean some junk file in the computer that help in pc performance but sometime using registry cleaner to clean the registry may lead to error. Registry cleaners scan your registry for these outdated entries and offer to remove them. Because there are so many registry entries to go through, theyll sometimes also remove expedient registry entries, c ausing you problems. (Hoffman, 2012)4. ConclusionsNowadays there are many registries cleaner in the market. Different registry cleaner may have different hold and different way of clean the registry. User can use the feature provided by the registry cleaner to improve their pc performance like control the startup program to help in the pc speed (Window startup speed). But for cleaning registry, they have to choose the right cleaner as some cleaner maybe remove some useful registry and cause problem to the user. It is better to backup the registry before running the registry clean as we do not know which program may be affected after the clean. Cleaning registry will only improve the pc significantly and it is most belike user will not see the effect after clean the registry.5.
