Alright you got me on that.

Though I’m sure you would have to admit that there are times when purchasing the right software is good for business as well. (Because not everything is life is free)

Yeah, people who run their entire businesses on free software like Apache, MySQL, Linux, FreeBSD, PHP, etc. sure are idiots!

Uh… NOT!

You can compare your product with those in the article by simply following the links and downloading the software.

Good luck.

Whom you can write via email & inquire with regarding this testimony of “APK Registry Cleaning Engine 2002++ SR-7″ (latest model) vs. others out there & his test methods + findings, quoted below from March 14th, 2005:

——————————–

Alexander:

I’ve built 2 machines, WinXP Pro SP1 on an Athlon 2800+ system and MediaCentre 2005 on a 3.0GHz P4 system. I had installed Regcleaner 4.3 by Juoni Vuorio on both machines.

Regcleaner didn’t work on my MediaCentre PC (it is an OEM machine which I have rebuilt a number of times and tried Regcleaner each time but I suspect there’s some OEM gubbins in the Windows set-up that’s causing some instability) but your cleaner worked on both. I’m not surprised with the APK simple install arrangement.

I regularly clean my machines using simple tools, Regcleaner, Norton System Works, X-Setup Pro, Windows Defrag, etc.

After running these I immediately tried the APK cleaner to see whether it picked up any additional registry errors, and it found 39! It regularly finds approx 20 more that Regcleaner and takes approx 18 minutes to do the job to Regcleaner’s 5 mins. This is what I would expect as I have a large number of apps installed (approx 36 including Office XP Pro, AutoCAD 2004, etc) and is not surprising if the cleaner is to do its job properly.

I do believe I can tell the difference in the operating speed of the machine afterwards. (Slight)

I am impressed.

If you have ANY questions regarding my program, write me by email (address submitted to post here, or just use the one @ the bottom of my posting here) & I can send the program (726kb zipfile with manual install/uninstall directions + .bat file automated installers which you can edit & understand easily to amend them to your own unique install areas (the .dll MUST be a publicly visible one in %WinDir%\system32, & the 2 .reg files for backup tracking of data deleted from the registry must be in %WinDir% & %WinDir%\system32, but the .exe can run from anyplace on your system & is fully self-guiding/intelligent in its operations).

BUT, should you have ANY questions? Feel free to write me @:

P.S.=> I am truly interested in seeing how my work compares with those today, featureset-wise + safety + ease-of-use-wise, as well as accuracy (provided, as I stated above, none of the testing involves injecting .reg files into user’s systems first, rigging the results in such tests - this IS possible & I proved it years ago in head-to-head tests vs. another program of this kind, JVRegcleaner)… thank-you! apk

(Mine operates on the same principle that your article describes RegSeeker operating on & mine has been in existence since 1998 or so/iirc)

I would like to submit it for testing comparisons.

BUT, first, I would like to know the mechanics of the test methods used first however.

I.E. - do you or any of the programs in the suite first “inject” a .reg file into user’s systems prior to testing?

If that is your test method, I have to disagree with it, & do not wish to participate.

(This is simply because I am aware that since diff. programs of this type in their engine/algorithm CAN & DO favor certain data types ‘injected’ into the tested system, such rigging of a test is not acceptable as a fair one).

E.G.-> YEARS ago, circa 2001-2002 iirc, I saw the same thing years ago from JV RegCleaner as to testing methodologies!

(The programmer of that software, a Juoni Vuorio, was doing that very thing (inserting a ‘jury-rigging’ test .reg file into user’s systems FIRST, & then running his program against all other comers, rigging the test via a preset data set that his program obviously favored)).

Later, I had users run HIS program vs. my own (”APK Registry Cleaning Engine”) with their systems & registry data UNALTERED by any such .reg file jury-rigging dataset and ‘lo & behold’, my program outperformed his by 2-3 fold.

I would let the users run BOTH programs (but not deleting what they found, only showing what they found that was legal & safe for deletion, then comparing how many entries these types of programs found as legit to delete.

(I know my program is absolutely safe against damaging a system, because I take out via filters in my engine for my program an area I found which was dangerous to give users the opportunity to delete, & that is OLE Server registrations - burn the WRONG ones? Things stop working for example).

Above all, Remember - I had users do their OWN tests on their own systems without altering their data in the registry first via any .reg file injection of a ‘test set’ (jury-rig results set is more like it).

So, I have to ask on your testing methods used first.

If you are NOT doing such a thing?

Then I would gladly submit my program via email contact on your parts to myself, so I can send you my program to compare it vs. the ones you have tested.

(APK Registry Cleaning Engine has a VERY simple installation you can perform manually with easy directions, just single .exe & 1 .dll you copy to %WinDir% & %WinDir%\system32, no OLEServer registration required etc. & run it from a shortcut to the .exe file).

Personally, I would like to see how my program performs against the competitors out there today/nowadays, provided the test is fair per the constraints I laid out above.

Thank you,

Sincerely,

APK
