Uniblue RegistryBooster 2009

[Guest]

I know the gurus here repeatedly say to stay away from any utility that
tinkers with the Windows registry, but I happen to have used Firetrust's
Mailwasher to reduce my spam for several years and in a recent emailing
Firetrust's Nick Bolton recommended "Uniblue RegistryBooster" for
defragmenting and cleaning the registry. Because it came from Firetrust I
wondered if this might be an exception. However to be safe I thought to ask
the experts here as to whether they thought this was useful program.

Also, does the registry need to be degragmented?

Thanks.

Jeff

Why? I don't see any possible connection between the two.

No.

No.

No. There are no exceptions. Registry cleaning programs are *all*
snake oil. Cleaning of the registry isn't needed and is dangerous.
Leave the registry alone and don't use any registry cleaner. Despite
what many people think, and what vendors of registry cleaning software
try to convince you of, having unused registry entries doesn't really
hurt you.

The risk of a serious problem caused by a registry cleaner erroneously
removing an entry you need is far greater than any potential benefit
it may have.

Perhaps, what version of Windows 95 are you running?

Thanks.

Hello Jeff:

Leaving your register hive alone is a favor you do for yourself.

NO!

If you think your Registry needs to be "cleaned" or "repaired," read
http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=28099 and draw your own conclusions.

Duping the OP with your lies and boilerplate again, eh? This poster
lies, defames and otherwise libels all reg cleaner mfg's with impunity,
in conjunction with his small group of sock-puppets and super-egoes. He
has nothing to back up his claim and has been asked by many over time
how he knows it's so. His only answer, if there ever is one, is "see
all the posts about ... "

That said, I've never heard of the one mentioned above and have no idea
whether it's any good or a phony hoping to compromise people's machines.
Additionally, "defragging" the Registry simply removes empty space in
the process and involves NO registry changes, much the same as
defragging a disk works. Defragging the Registry is NOT cleaning the
registry and the poster knew that - he simply chose an opportunity to
further display his ego and misinformation as it, I mean he, is wont to
do. He simply loves seeing himself in print and controlling people. I
hope the OP is able to see through him and realize what silliness he has
posted, and which will likely follow my post. He and his crew think
simple repetition will make something so. Even Tolstoy knew better than
that back in his day. Only facts and reality count.
lol, that's now bring out a cry that I've never provided anything in
proof; I have, but it's not up to me anyway - they are the ones making
claims without a leg to stand on.

Cheers,

Twayne`
