does reg cure really fix your computer problems or is it a rip off?

Use CCleaner instead. It is free and has the options of cleaning up your hard disk as well as cleaning up the registry. Worked a treat on 3 of my PCs and is very very easy to use.

    I’m pretty sure it’s a scam. There’s rarely a problem in your registry keys. I suggest, if you do have a registry key problem with a piece of software you’re using, that you copy down the error it gives you, and google it. Chances are, others have had the problem too, and you can often find quick fixes, patches, or ‘do it yourself’ instructions, that can be easily followed.

    IT’S A RIP!
    They scan your stuff (which is not a good idea in the first place, i.e. ‘Active X’) and then they tell you they will sell you what you need for more money…don’t waste your time with these jerks.

    I have tried a few of them and although I do not think they are a scam I doubt it will help most of us. Certainly my computer has not been any different after using them even though it says my registry has been repaired.
    Maybe for advanced users they are good but not for the likes of me.

    Reg cure is a rip-off. Use CCleaner 2.13 instead. This software is totally safe and 100% free and works like a dream. Apart from fixing registry problems it can also do some other handy things. You can also auto (and manual) update regularly without re-installing. I once had a problem with my internet router firmware and connection software that I uninstalled. Afterward I could not re-install because a registry entry was blocking the installation. I had no idea how to manually find and delete it, because if I delete the wrong thing, I could make thing infinitely worse. However CCleaner found that obsolete entry, deleted it. Afterward I could re-install my software without any problems.

    Download it from http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/

    Filehippo is a safe and trusted site for downloads. You can also try CNET downloads
