Registry Reviver

What is Registry Reviver?

Registry Reviver is registry utility whose purported purpose is to remove redundant items from the Windows registry. The software helps to automate the process of looking for invalid entries, missing file references or broken links within the registry and resolving or removing them. The necessity and usefulness of registry cleaners is a controversial topic, with experts in disagreement over their benefits.

The software is typically bundled with third party installers such as Open Candy. "Offer your users a registry scanner and optimization tool designed to let novices find registry errors and help maintain peak Windows performance."
