I was a RegCure believer; but the last time I tried to register it after a system recovery, a pop-up box indicated that I had too many installations and needed a new validation license. None of my numerous other software programs has ever done that to me. Now I'm a RegTool, System Mechanic, and PC Tools Registry Mechanic believer. In my opinion, the reviewer on this clip makes the right decision in rejecting RegCure.

@ gbwisconsin - It was rejected after running it on several machines and also because of users complaining that it stopped their computers from functioning as they should do, and in some cases removing essential data from the OS :-)

I used RegCure for the last year on my XP desktop, and had no problems with it at all. When it expired and wouldn't clean any longer, my computer started acting up again. I recently downloaded CCleaner at the recommendation of a computer programmer, and hope it will do just fine based on his recommendation. If I don't like it, I will definitely go back to RegCure.

faithfamilyfriends1 - CCleaner has an excellent reputation and is recommended by many. I still would not recommend RegCure and know of many users whose machines have been rendered useless, and CCleaner is FREE :-)

@ballader Thank you, I'll do that. Actually, it's still on my machine. I know where to find it (even though it's not on the start menu or control panel). I had some dialog with them, even a live chat, but they couldn't seem to get past using control panel. They sent me some removal advice, but by then, I was so frustrated I didn't even read it. I just managed, the first time I saw it, to get it to shut up. Since it's not free, you would think they would be interested in how it got on my machine.

@TheMrBlinx oh, I see

VM = Virtual Machine

I have no words to say I guess, I've never been a fan of them, but still it is a legitimate company verified. How the hell can they do such stuff and have their programs verified to be good and their company active?!?! Anyways... if you see it again, send me a PM I can help with that anytime anyplace

@ballader1 Getting rid of what? I have Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware and Avast av (which is also incompetent and quit working, has no uninstall and can't be over written again so it'll start working again). I didn't DL Pareto and never heard of it till it started popping it's head up for split seconds. Took weeks to finally read that one word and find it. I managed to make it stop, but their help was no help. Like idiots, they say "control panel", but it doesn't appear there, nor on start menu. VM?

[ballader1]

@TheMrBlinx I can't explain it :P, but ParetoLogic is a legitimate software company, are you sure that you don't have any malicious software in your system that is getting rid of it? Let me try installing it on a VM and I will make a video

[TheMrBlinx]

@ballader1 If so, why did they handle my complaint in such a cowardly and "illegitimate" manner? Why don't they care how their "legitimate" software got on my machine illegitimately? If it's so "legitimate", why is there no uninstall? Explain that, please, because they won't.

[ballader1]

@TheMrBlinx ParetoLogic is a legitimate company actually :P

[TheMrBlinx]

WARNING: ParetoLogic XoftSpySE IS a virus! It gets on your machine without authorization, hides there and doesn't appear on your start menu. It interferes with other spyware monitoring software. There is NO uninstall and it is impossible to e-mail anyone at their company. The ONLY way to contact anyone is by phone.

You'll notice that there are no comments on any of their pages - that's because they are CRIMINALS and afraid word will get out, so they remove them all.
