If you have system issues start a new thread and we can help you with those.
That program is essentially RegCure (another of their products) renamed with some gimics
added. It, and all similarly over-hyped products, are snake-oil which will cause a lot of
issues while fix little. Substitute the PC Health Advisor for the word RegCure in the below
and you will get the idea.
I would ditch RegCure like a hot potato

Free Registry Cleaner Software - Why Pay When You Can Get It Free?
http://software-adviser.synthasite.com/free-registry-cleaner-software.php
Seems those sites which promote these poor products are all part of the scam. They
include a couple or legitmate products (if any) and then rate all of their products higher and
they are often virtually the same.
Unless you know how to recover from an errant deletion and that can be extremely difficult its best not to use a registry cleaner. And they "fix" very little and "BREAK" a lot
Run RegCure uninstaller C:\Program Files\RegCure\uninst.exe
Check info here :
http://www.paretologic.com/resources/help/regcure/source/uninstall.html
Or Use Revo to Uninstall it :
If RegCure is running use TaskManager to close (end Process) - Right Click on Taskbar - Task Manager
Revo Uninstaller - Free Version

Hope this helps.

2011-05-09T16:21:29+00:00 To answer your question, yes there are other ways to remove registry keys than using ParetoLogic software.
You could access the registry with Regedit, for example, and delete the unnecessary registry keys manually. However, we strongly advise against that, as making manual changes to the registry can cause serious problems with your PC.
