On One Hand: RegCure Cleans Bloated Registries

RegCure is a registry cleaner from ParetoLogic. The registry of your Microsoft Windows operating system is a database that stores all of the settings in your computer. Like other registry cleaners, RegCure's function is to delete the "junk" that gets left behind as you add and delete programs. The argument is that, over time, all of these left-behind fragments can eventually slow your computer to a crawl.

On the Other: Proceed Cautiously

Software developer Mark Russinovich, who sold two companies to Microsoft, doesn't believe registry cleaners are worth the potential danger to system reliability. He says, in part, " ... even if the registry was massively bloated, there would be little impact on the performance. ... " Furthermore, RegCure users have been misled by the "free software" offer on the company website. All that's free is a system scan, at which point the user is asked to buy the product to fix it. In a forum sponsored by CNET, several of these users complained of serious computer malfunctions after running RegCure and scant customer service.

Bottom Line

RegCure: No thanks. Registry cleaners in general seem unnecessary, and RegCure in particular has earned unfavorable comments for product functionality and the company's questionable business practices.
