Is RegCure legit? Ran their software after running,PConPoint,PcBug,Registry Mechanic,PCRescue,Norton Utilities,and RegMechanic,and RegCure still found about 150 problems. I'm wondering if these are legit problems or are they just trying to get me to purchase RegCure.Thanks Papat

Never heard of RegCure but if it claims to have found "problems" that require you to buy it
to fix, I'd avoid it like the plague.

If you have run all those other apps & your computers working OK, you don't have problems.

I bought it the other night and it did get rid of a shutdown error that's been on my nerves. I kind of get the impression that the 'problems' these types of programs detect can vary from major and annoying stuff to missing shortcuts and other minor stuff. Anyway to answer your question it seems to be ok.

Hi papat..with all those Registry cleaners..be careful you do not overclean your Registry and come to regret it.
Registry cleaners should be used with caution and always back up your registry before deleting what it says are invalid entries.
What's called invalid may be what your system needs to run correctly.

PC Tools Registry Mechanic 5.2.0.310

ToniArts EasyCleaner 2.0.6.380

are the only 2 registry cleaners that I've found so far that I have faith in.

Try Wise Cleaner. Two products available for free on their site. Both work very well:

I had not heard of RegCure before today. And, like one other contributor, I am always suspicious of the ones that offer to clean when you pay a fee.http://images.techguy.org/smilies/thumbsdown.gif

Hi Degilbo and welcome to TSG.

[BARBILU]

I received this program free upon purchasing XoftSpySE. It found 894 "errors", most of which appear to be "The program (or file) does not exist". I hesitate to fix the errors. Any advice ?

As noted above by others and with my personal experience noted above. I got Reg Cure and all it did was take my money. No difference in the performance of my machine at all! My wallet is emptier by $29.00 and geting ahold of the company that makes it is impossible unless you want to snail mail them in Canada. Lot of help that is when your computer is giving your fits. Don't waste your money.

I had to respond to this thread, as I was also skeptical about getting regcure myself. My pc kept shutting down, i scanned for viruses, and nothing! I took my pc to firedog and they told me it would cost 60 bucks just to perform a diagnostics check. So i tried regure this evening and so far so good. It found 1169 errors (and my pc is only about 1.5 years old), repaired them, and this baby is running like new. Well worth the 29 bucks, in my opinion.

Well I did not have the problems that you did, but I also did not notice a single difference in the way my computer performed after using Reg Cure either. With the cautions offered by other users I decided to not use it any longer in fear of screwing up some other part of my OS. My $29.95 was money thrown away. YM obviously V's.

Hi,

I am the Director of Communications at ParetoLogic, the makers of RegCure. From this forum thread, I can see that there are quite a few questions about the application and some concerns regarding the items that it detects. I would be happy to answer any questions that you might have and would also really appreciate any feedback that you would be willing to give me about your experience with RegCure.

MESSAGE TO AMANDA: (and others)
I fell for the advertising. I Googled "HHCTRL.OCX" because I started getting an error everytime I booted Windows:
"The System DLL user32.dll was relocated in memory. The application will not run properly. The relocation occured because the DLL C:\WINDOWS\system32\HHCTRL.OCX
occupied and address range reserved for Windows system DLLs. The vendor supplying the DLL should be contacted for a new DLL."
On the first Google page was your Ad for RegCure. Your Ad said it would fix this specific error. It didn't. I'll be requesting a refund.
