Guessing the tactics changed.

And if you really, really want a registry cleaner, save your money and use this free one:

RegSeeker

Registry cleaners are the Snake Oil of the 21th Century. It never ceases to amaze me how many people create these useless and frequently dangerous utilities.

I just dumped RegCure; Is there anything it leaves behind that I need to go in and take out manually, or is its uninstall the only thing it actually does truthfully?

Hi and welcome to TSG.
You could remove all entries to RegCure from the registry.
If you feel the need to do so.
But make sure you backup the registry First
Back up Registry.
Start>run>type>regedit>>click registry>>Export>>save in my documents.
Also check..for Win98.

i also got suckered in by buying the product , because my outlook express does not have the bcc field, the product reg cure claimed it would fix the error , you guessed it no cure and no bcc field

I saw one of its blurbs and wondered about it. So I Googled "RegCure review". Found at least 10 or 12 sites all purporting to review a handful or registry cleaners, all saying about the same thing, namely the others are good but RegCure is the greatest. Even without the curiously similar looking pages, my nasty suspicious mind cried FRAUD.

It found 1766 "errors" on my PC and fixed 4. Offered me $10 off, it would cost $29.95 - which I think is actually the regular price.

Even if this were a super piece of software, no way I would buy from a company with such shoddy practices.

Hi hartoch and all,

Regcure should not fix your missing BCC field in OE !! Regcure is good in one thing and one thing only, cleaning "unused" registry keys and it's doing a very good job at it. yeah, it could sometime remove something on the verge of being unused, but that's where you come in - the software allows you the option to select what you want to remove and what you want to keep ! no software is perfect and i could say that Regcure is actually one of the good guys out there. i also read some nice reviews about it and that it has the most features among the Reg Cleaners out there, read this Regcure review

let me know what you think.

We've beat this one to death, let's agree to disagree.

One final point, since I get the last say.

A good read: Ed Bott: "Why I don’t use registry cleaners"
