Uniblue Registry Booster?

I just went the Lavasoft to download Ad-aware and I saw another program - uniblue registry booster. I downloaded it and it automatically started a scan. Within the first few minutes it found over 600 things. Since I've never used anything like this before I wasn't sure if it was safe to let it fit the problems. Any suggestions? Thanks - Lori

If you had no problems to start with, why believe some piece of software when it says you have problems?

I looked at their web site and it looks like pure FUD. The tout this as being related to "performance", yet the little example they show (the laptop being helpd by the woman) shows a message about "invalid file associations", whihc won't slow anything down (a bad association might make some things not work, but if you haven't noticed anything not working, you don't have that problem).

This sort of product is just bad.

I didn't run their free trial version, since I'm not in the habit of running .exes from websites I've never heard of.

I'm going to uninstall it and not bother running it.

Thanks - Lori

In particular read some of the reader comments. This thing
bears too close a resemblance to rogue anti-spyware like
WinFixer - there's no way I'd let it even come close to
my system.
