A Glance into Our Unique WinOS Repair Technology


The Repository - A "spare parts" server with healthy operating system components

Restoro WinOS repair product has the technology to not only remove the cause of WinOS damage, but to also reverse the damage done. We do this with the use of our continuously updated online database, The Repository.

Quick facts

  • There are around 25 Million operating system components in the Restoro repository server.
  • WinOS 7 ultimate, for instance, has a total of 54,380 system files and 431,883 associated registry keys.
  • There is no way to really fix an operating system by only cleaning its registry keys. System files must be inspected as well.
  • Restoro Repository Team adds healthy files and variations to the online servers on a weekly basis.

An average WinOS repair downloads only a small part of the Restoro repository, but is there to serve hundreds of system configurations, old and new. Every PC in the world gets fast access to the repository thanks to a content distribution network (CDN).
The repository files are actually duplicated and stored in numerous geo locations so when you repair with Restoro, you download from the server nearest you.

Time Saver

The Restoro for WinOS program saves you the time and hassle of having to:

  • Analyze running processes, trying to figure out what is good and what is bad.
  • Download endless registry cleaners and system optimizers.
  • Figure out if it's a virus or not.
  • Find your WinOS installation CD and realize it is out dated.
  • Format your computer, reinstall WinOS and actually "start from scratch".
  • Reinstall broken drivers, applications, recover license keys and passwords.

Using Restoro means you will never need to reinstall WinOS again.

How can system files be reinstalled automatically, while WinOS is still running?

The Restoro process scans all operating system files, including the registry. It compares each element to a healthy configuration in the Restoro repository and acts upon:

  • Components that are verified as belonging to your operating system - are kept untouched
  • Components belonging to a legitimate program - kept untouched
  • Broken or missing operating system components - replaced with healthy components from the repository
  • Malicious components - detached from the operating system and quarantined

WinOS system components that are downloaded from our repository are carefully selected to fit your exact WinOS edition. But in most cases, it does not end there. There is usually a need to also tweak repository components after they are downloaded to fit the specific environment and settings of your PC.

Removing viruses & damage caused by viruses

  • Restoro uses a number of different virus engines simultaneously (such as our partner's, Avira) and a custom virus engine, developed by our R&D team. We use white lists together with black lists to better detect what should and should not reside in your operating system. This allows us to pinpoint and exterminate harmful components causing virus damage.
  • The Restoro for WinOS automatically compares your PC’s system files with the Restoro repository files. Infected files are easily pointed out and then replaced with healthy ones. Damage is recovered with virus damage being removed.
  • Infected files locked by viruses or by your operating system will be replaced when you reboot your PC. Restoro program removes virus damage from your computer.

Damage in Registry hives

Restoro is able to replace entire registry hives and/or reset individual registry keys that are corrupted. In cases of severe registry damage - Restoro first looks into your WinOS Restore for back up and if unavailable, the second option is to download and replace corrupted registry keys with clean registry keys from our repository.

Minimal requirements

Restoro doesn't run using a .NET framework or Java. It doesn't even use exciting flash images and 3D graphics. And there is a good reason for that. Restoro is designed to fix computers in any condition - low memory, old CPU, broken plug-ins and erroneous system installations - the only requirement is a working internet connection and around 512MB of RAM. Restoro is also designed to run in Safe Mode with networking, which is always the recommended approach (it disables most of the background programs and allows for a faster, smoother WinOS repair.)
