Regcure Software killed my PC!
Complaint Rating:  97 % with 1692 votes
I went on the Internet to find something to improve the poor performance of my computer. Regcure promised to repair all of the problems on my computer, so I purchased it and downloaded the program. After running the program my computer would boot up OK but none of my programs would work. I kept getting messages that said "Winsock2 needs to be installed on this computer" and IHPIPAPI.DLL file is not functioning. When I tried to go to the Internet to report theses problems I discovered that I was no longer able to access the Internet. I am not a computer geek so I depend on the products I purchase from the Internet to maintain my computer. I am making this report on my son’s computer since mine no longer works. I went online to support@regcure.com and reported my problem. I got no response. So I e-mailed them at sales@regcure.com and asked them to refund my money. I still have not received a response. I am reporting this in the hopes that I might save some poor sucker from loosing the use of his/her computer as I have.

It is a disgrace...

I am having problems with regcure, it is telling me to renew when, I have only had it for a couple of months! I installed in on one of my computors that was running sluggist, it seemed to help. I later installed it on a second computor, now the first computor won't start up and the second one is telling me I need to renew. I logged onto the tec. support and asked why, they asked how much I would pay for a answer?

I used Regcure and it caused problems on my computer as well. I found no way to get a refund and read the forums and was flipping out that I had been robbed. They said safecart was no help either... I just got off of the phone with Safecart and they gave me a refund, no questions asked. You just have to do it within the 60 day trial period. (safecart said it was 60 days they are offering at the date of this post) So call safecart if you have any trouble getting your refund. incidently, my computer is actually running better now, but I had to turn regcure off because it was working 'too' good and having a delete field day with my files. Here is safecart's number.. I found it on my bank statement... press option 3 1-800-209-6437 Good luck.

I just purchased a brand new hp laptop computer and had installed blackberry smartphone software on it before ever using it. I then loaded office 2003 and found that the outlook program would'nt open because of a missing or corrupted MAPI32.DLL file. In researching the problem online I came across a link that offered a free scan of my registry and it was Regcure. After running the scan of my registry I was shocked and amazed when the report showed that my brand new computer had over 400 errors in the registry. I was prompted to buy the Regcure program to clean my registry for only $39.99 or something like that but I thought that something smelt fishy here. Thankfully, I declined their offer to purchase the program and decided to do more research into the reasons for my outlook program not opening up, which I did shortly thereafter. I also continued to investigate the Regcure product as I was skeptical about the amount of errors that it supposedly found on my computer. I fully agree with all the complaints listed herein and hope that these Regcure guys are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

I agree with the complaints about regcure. I thought I had all these viruses and regcure claim they could take them off so I downloaded the soft ware and I didn't even get to use it because it said put in the product key and when I did, it said that it was time for a up-grade. I didn't even get a chance to speak with anyone because I couldn't find a phone number. I tried to stop the payment at the bank but it was too late. I usually research things before I buy them on line but this one time I didn't I got SCAMMED!!!

Have these companies not realised by now that the shops are all selling only 64bit dual core etc to the markets, old 32 bit machines are just the machines that are already in peoples homes that are being moved aside now by their big brother machines.
So cummon Programmers get with the program.

I have used reg cure for about a year . I did not us it except for one thing and it solved that problem. I did not renew my subscription and removied it. Latter I need a program to correct a problem I was having with pop up and found that Reg Cure was the problem. You wind up getting a pop up Common filespareticlogicuus2uus2.dll is missing this is the program that installs Reg cure. It can be very hard to find all of the places this program installs it self. Iam not sure yet if I have removed it completly.

Don't buy this software.

Take trial first and see. Before you use it go to start - run and type msconfig, then make a note of all start up items.

Then run the program fix the apparent errors. If you run msconfig again you'll see how much it deletes from the from the msconfig data whic has been effectively eliminated from the registry.

In fact if after each run of Regcure you select fix errors and then run the programm again guess what - it comes up with more errors and so on ad infinitum.

Try and stop it loading - there are no settings option in the program.

This program affected my system so badly in a matter of weeks that I had to run a full XP repair. Even then the start up was slow - immediately upon uninstalling it and restarting my PC the the speed of start up was significantly improved.

I also ran Regedit and removed all of the remnants the uninstall program failed to clean up.

The manufacturers of this package have a duty to anyone who purchased this product to refund them but it is atently obvious from other posts that they are happy to ride roughshod over their customers.

Motto to the story avoid RegCure like the plague

I had similar problems with RegCure. However, their customer support tried to help me get the thing to work as advertised. After giving up, I did a disk clenup, defrag and reinstalled Windows XP and got the system back to where it was before RegCure. I requested a refund and my credit card was credited with a full refund within three days.

13 hours of tech support with my high speed internet provider and 6 days without use of email and entire registry wiped out and reconfigured later I am still having issues. THIS PRODUCT SUCKS! DO NOT PURCHASE OR INSTALL! I also sent 2 emails and have received no response. I am definitely contacting the better business bureau.

You're not alone. I purchased Regcur believing a sure registry cure after reading their "excellent review"... I was so happy that it reported a number of infections on my computer that Mcaffee and Windows Defender missed. But really really mad ...that when my laptop was re-started, the internet was not working, and warnings pop-up telling me that some files were missing when the installed programs were started..
I have to restore my vista system so I can use my laptop and connect to internet.
To give Regcur another change, I run it again. As usual it, reported several infections, but this time I'm not happy... and again it crushed my computer...
Not a happy ending with Regcur.

I completely agree. This is the worst product ever! Is there any way to contact a government agency, or file a class action lawsuit?? I have a very expensive, brand new business laptop. I had a minor issue with an error after one of the programs I use is not compliant with Microsoft update pack, so I saw the advertisement for a free way to fix the program. I went to the Regcure site and was intead directed to the purchase full price version. There wasn't even a free one available (as they had advertised). It's the old bait and switch and false advertising. After running it, it only made more problems. It's a total scam since right after running it, if you run it again, you get a ton of new errors found. Yeah, right. Now that I have the original error fixed, my computer can no longer access the bluetooth, and my virus scan is running non stop, and all of a sudden, it's like a decade old computer. If anyone knows of a government agency where I can complain, I would really appreciate it. Maybe if we all contacted our states attorney general.

Regcure is the worst products I have ever purchased...completely useless. I also requested a refund and when I finally got someone to respond by email, they asked me for more detail. So then I sent them a VERY detailed email and I never heard from them again (and never received my refund). Oh, I did however, receive an email saying that my subscription was up and it was time to renew...what slime balls!!!
