PowerTools 2014 found over 19000 errors from the system. No backups were created, and all other user confirmations were answered with ‘yes’. The jv16 PowerTools 2014’s Clean and Fix My Computer feature was used with the aggressive setting and all the found errors were fixed. The startup time for this setup was measured and a snapshot of the system stage was created.įinally, the unclean state of the virtual test system was cleaned with jv16 PowerTools 2014 and, for comparison, with CCleaner. Then, a number of popular software programs (such as Camfrog Video Chat, Internet Download Manager, iTunes, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, QuickTime, Virtual DJ, WinAmp and WinRAR, to name a few) were installed on the system and their installation directories and other related files were manually removed to simulate the state of the registry of a very unclean system. First, a fresh installation’s startup time was measured. The Windows system was started three times in a row and the startup time was recorded. The test was performed by manually measuring the Windows startup time. In other words, it’s much easier to see the difference between, say, 100-second and 80-second Windows startup times than between 15-second and 13-second startup times.
The virtual client was run with limited CPU power (execution cap of 40%) to highlight the difference between different setups. Windows 7 was used as the test environment because of its more straightforward system startup procedure, which made it easier to test the system startup times. The host computer running the virtual environment was based on Intel Core i7 3632Qm running at 2.20 GHz with 16 GB of RAM and with a 120 GB SSD system disk running Windows 8 (64 bit) with all the updates. the virtual client) was running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit with a base memory of 512 MB and 25 GB of hard disk space. The tests were performed using a virtual computer based on the Oracle VM VirtualBox virtualization environment version 4.2.16 (R86992). Instead, the goal was to provide the best possible data to users, to allow them to make their own conclusions.
The purpose of this test was not to undermine any products or to say one product is better than another. This time the focus is purely on performance – are registry cleaners worth using or not? In the past Macecraft Software has published four different comparison studies that attempted to answer questions about the quality of different registry cleaning products. These tests were performed in September 2013 Introduction
