In the past, various spyware sniffing programs on my computer has pointed to the RegCure modules. Utilizing my firewall, I was able to restrict Internet access to these modules.
However, the last time that I updated the RegCure software, it resulted in my Virus software pointing to the main RegCure program as a Trojan (I think). I removed RegCure from my computer right after this alert.
I will grant that RegCure does a good job of maintaining a computer.
However, I also believe that it does so at the expense of the program also being spyware itself, and then upgrading RegCure.exe to a required system file. It sounds like pure marketing to me...
I've decided to uninstall RegCure. When trying to uninstall, a warning came up saying that I had 155 registry errors and am I sure I really want to uninstall. That's impossible as I just ran other programs with success. I think RegCure use a high figure when you try and uninstall in order to scare you!
Try running RegCure, it will find loads of errors, then re-boot and run again. You will be amazed when RegCure finds loads of errors again.
Someone from RegCure replied to one of my posts. It was just a selling response with so much to read. I felt dizzy afterwards. It would be better to keep such replies short and simple!!
There has been a great deal of speculation about Panda's detection of RegCure within their virus definitions.
We have been working with Panda on the false positive issue and Panda has confirmed the removal of signatures and encyclopedia as of this morning.
The detection was indeed a false positive, and this has been confirmed by Panda.
I regret any concern that this has caused you.

Hello Yamkin
Thank you for your feedback. There are a couple of possibilities for what you are seeing.
Most often, this situation involves the removal of empty registry keys. Frequently the registry items are removed by RegCure and are re-created during regular computer operations. For example, Microsoft Windows creates empty registry keys that are safe to delete and then are automatically generated again by the operating system. You can add these items to your Ignore list if you do not want to see them in future scans.
You can send items to the Ignore list during step 3 of the scan process. The items are not removed and RegCure will ignore these entries in upcoming scans.
To send items to the Ignore list:
Click the Ignore link next to any item.
To view items in your Ignore list:
Click the Settings button in the Main window and click the Ignore List tab.
You can remove an item in the Ignore list:
Select one or more items.
Click the Remove Selected button.
Refer to the RegCure help file for more information (click the Help button in the Main window or press the F1 key).
If this is not the case for you could you please submit a RegCure log file for us?
Could we please ask you to send an email to support@regcure.com with all the details of your problem as well as everything you have tried to fix the problem and attach the RegCure log file:
C:\Program Files\RegCure\Logs\Regcure.log
However, if you choose to leave RegCure uninstalled, and have ordered within the last 60 days, please contact Customer Support with your order number and you are eligible to receive a full refund under Paretologic's 60 day 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Thank you and regards,
Hello Laura:
Please do not state a "Paratologic offers a 60 day money back guarantee on all of its propucts" on this post. I requested a refund three days after purchase of one of your procucts. Your product did not work for my application. I guess I will have to ask my credit Company not to make payment.
Thank You for a false statement

BEWARE, REGCURE SENDS HIS REP OUT THERE DECEIVING PUBLIC.... ONCE REGCURE RIP YOU OFF, THEY WILL NEVER RESPOND TO YOU!!
REGCURE IS A SCAM. Paypal is the accomplist in supporting their scam.
I just purchased Reg cure for $18.99 thru CompUSA, which in turn channel the sale thru tigerdirect.com. Upon receiving the link, the downloaded program was the free version which has no function at all. I tried disputing thru Paypal, however the verdict was that Paypal will not help you recover fund when the product is "less" than described; only shipped wrong product or no shipment of product is refunded. Frankly I don't understand the idiotic logic in this... if something useless was sent to me, that should categorized to be the same as not sending me any product at all.
BUYERS BEWARE OF REGCURE USING THIS LOOPHOLE TO SCAM PEOPLE!! BY THE WAY, REGCURE DID NOT RESPOND TO ANY EMAIL, NOR DO THEY HAVE A PHONE # FOR CONTACT. DON'T BUY FROM MERCHANT THAT HIDES THEMSELVES!!!
I had similar problems with my computer (I still do). I downloaded Regcure and after checking on the internet and being satisfied that they were bona fide I bought it to fix the hundreds of problems that it identified. It fixed the registry but my system was still just as slow but now my antivirus (Sophos) wouldn't work. I emailed Regcure asking for my money back and amazingly 3 days later the money was in my account.So it didn't work for me but they are kosher to deal with. Hope this helps.

I've been using Registry Mechanic. While looking on comparison sites, I ran across testimonials tht claimed RegCure is superior.
Did the free scan and sure enough, it came up with over 2000(!) errors, and this just after I'd run a scan w/R.M.
So, okay, I thought, I might as well look and see how much they want for such a winner, right?
Welllll, I didn't see it anywhere on the home page, or the next 2 or 3 following.
I don't know about you guys, but I'm not comfortable with this because every other program that I've bought or downloaded has been very up-front about what the buyer's getting into price-wise. Then when I saw all the negative posts here about the product itself, I felt like my uneasy feeling was probably justified.
I'm not sure the word "sneaky" is appropriate, but it just seems like they're not very forthcoming.

It is available here:

It does many things to keep your system running well. I use one of there bete programs and it works top notch. I've had no problems with it.
You might also want to search for XP tweaks these are free suggestions on how you can make your computer run faster. These aren't a program just "How To's" to make your computer work better.
Here are some examples: (Avoid number 5.)

How are you set for hardware? I noticed you listed your monitor as your computer system. Do you know the brand and model of computer you have? RAM memory is very cheap now and might be worth the investment.
I have been trying to uninstall the free version of regcure and it won't let me...any suggestions?
....going to Start > All Programs > RegCure > Uninstall. If that doesn't work, tell us what errors you are seeing. "It won't let me" doesn't tell us much.. What operating system are you using? The more information you give us, the better informed our answers will be.
Hope this helps.

I just have to say that I to fell for the glam of Regcures free scan because they offered to fix and repair probs they find free, but low and behold they lied and told me I would have to purchase the registered edition to fix the the 2000 errors they found. This to me is the biggest kind of scam on the FREE CLEANER MARKET. Don't fall for it, apparently it's not any good anyway. Thanks for the info on the honest cleaners. Don't go for Spyware Doctor either they run the same scam. cyndygail
Was there something wrong with my uninstall instructions?
Or did you intend to respond to the original poster in this thread? It helps if you reply directly to the post intended.
