Review:

Registry First Aid is not a great product, period. Sure it will remove bad registry keys like it says but I really don't think that alone justifies the price tag.

Similar programs for cleaning the registry are free and its up to Rose City software to outperform them and not to simply match their performance.

The UI is good but it could be better, the option to search registry keys on Google will also help novices. One thing I loathed was the "Updater" that opened up in my system tray, software companies just seem to take too much liberties with the windows system tray but thankfully a quick settings change solved that.

The only feature that I found compelling was the option to try and fix broken Registry keys, when it works its great but most of the time I ended up deleting the offending keys.

Conclusion:

If you got the money and are paranoid about free system programs then buy this, If you don't have the money and are not paranoid about free system programs then don't!
