RegEditX
  • Freeware
  • WinWin (All)

qleft  One of the best registry editors out there!  qright

RegEditX version 1.3.1
  • Interface: 5
  • Features: 4
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

Imho, this is one of the best. I do not use nor need to use any other registry editors when I have RegEditX installed on a system. Easy to use and it is fast and definitely more powerful than Windows Regedit utility. You will know what I mean when you start using this program, another great one is RegAlyzer from the makers of Spybot.

TrendMicro HijackThis
  • Freeware
  • Win98/ME/2000/XP/Vista

qleft  Excellent anti-spyware tool but...  qright

TrendMicro HijackThis version 1.99.1
  • Interface: 4
  • Features: 5
  • Ease of use: 2
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 4

..make sure you know what you are doing! Do not go thru the list (cause it could contain entries related to bad stuff as well as good stuff)and check entries randomly for fixing/deleting! If you have any doubts, run a scan and choose to save a log file, which would be created in the program folder if it was saved and run from a proper location like: C:HijackThisHijackThis.exe or C:Program FilesHijackThisHijackThis.exe. Then visit one of the Online Spyware/Security Forums and ask for help after attaching the hijackThis.log file so knowledgeable geeks could review the log and help you out. Otherwise things could get worse using this program carelessly....

SpywareBlaster
  • Freeware
  • WinWin (All)

qleft  Great spyware prevention  qright

SpywareBlaster version 3.4
  • Interface: 4
  • Features: 5
  • Ease of use: 4
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

Along with Spybot's Immunize feature and a pop-up blocker, this program completes the circle for creating a very powerful shield against today's common adware/spyware type web threats by adding related keys to these locations in the registry: HKEY_USERS.DEFAULTSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionInternet SettingsZoneMapDomains and (naturally linked) HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionInternet SettingsZoneMapDomains. So the program is only run to open the GUI interface to make the related changes in the Registry, no process need to be running in the background, awesome!

XP-AntiSpy
  • Freeware
  • WinXP/Vista

qleft  A very cool utility  qright

XP-AntiSpy version 3.94-1
  • Interface: 3
  • Features: 4
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

Yes, all settings could be done manually using Windows Registry but this tool gathers all these settings in a GUI window making things easier, faster. As far as reverting back the modified settings goes, click on Profiles > System Defaults to change the settings modified by this tool back to their original configuration. Best part....it is a freebie!
