Uniblue Registry Booster 2

A

I recently fell for it and installed their software. Found a lot of errors
but will only fix 15 unless you buy it! I Immediately uninstalled it, but
now I get a pop-up window that reads
"UNIBLUE REGISTRY BOOSTER 2"
"Fail to read from independent file. This application will close now!"
But when I click the OK button to close, the message keeps popping up. I
did a system retore thinking that it would eliminate that pop-up box but to
no avail!
Any suggestions on how to get rid of this?

Thanks for the suggestion. I ran ad-aware but no luck. That annoying window
still pops up!

The best registry editor is yourself. If you can't manually edit the
registry then keep well clear of it and also keep ell clear of 'anything'
that tells you it can optimise your registry because, frankly, it can't!

I tried Uniblue's stuff on Vista Ultimate x64 and quickly dropped it. The
RB took hours to do anything and hogged resources like crazy doing it.

Actually I recall someone here having terrible problems as a result of
using it - don;t recall exactly what but as soon as the name is
mentioned it raises a red flag here :)

I have one WinXP Pro, 32 bit, and one Win Vista Ultimate, 32 bit. I use
UniBlue's registry booster 2 regularly with absolutely no problems on both.

Yet. And for what purpose do you use it? Remember, it's well known
that such products do absolutely nothing useful.

Good. But Vista x64 is a whole 'nother kettle of fish and I don't think
Uniblue handles it right yet.

Bruce,
RegistryBooster 2, Uniblue's award-winning registry cleaner, is the easy
answer to registry problems. It conducts deep scans of your registry to
check for errors and conflicts, then repairs and optimizes the registry to
peak performance and stability. Periodic scans will keep your registry
"clean" and will greatly enhance your system's performance and stability.
You'll see immediate increases in speed and decreases in system conflicts.

My personal experience has been that the above is true. Perhaps you have
had other exeriences.

What do you mean "deep" scans ?
As opposed to "shallow" scans ?
A scan is a scan, NO?
Its still crap...but lets not tell anyone

Was definitely truefor 486-based machines with 8mb of RAM, but it's
not true in today's computer world.
My personal experience has been that the above is true.

Any boost in performance probably can't even be measured using speed
benchmarking tools... which means that your personal experience is
imagined.

What utter and complete nonsense, direct from the marketing department.
Not a single technical fact in it.
