Wow... you really are in the dark as to this (RegCure) snake oil, aren't you? Why don't you surf through these results and see for yourself: http://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=A0geuoyAXQVMXx8ARCNXNyoA?p=how+to+repair+site%3Adcclifecare.com&fr2=sb-top&fr=yfp-t-501&sao=0 Notice anything in common in all the results? Even the bogus comments are the same on all the pages. Now take a look at the results from another bogus domain from these same snake oil salesmen: http://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=A0oG72WWXQVMix4ADA1XNyoA?p=how+to+repair+site%3Asubnixus.com&fr2=sb-top&fr=yfp-t-501&sao=0 Now look at their prognosis for 0x0000009c error: http://www.dcclifecare.com/list/0x0000009c.html http://www.subnixus.com/stop-error-codes/0x0000009c.html and look at another post from another bogus site from a Mr. Ted Kwong, another one of their bogus "Computer Specialist": http://www.pctuneupadvisor.com/technical-support/0x0000009C.php?yid=512696&OVRAW=0x0000009C&OVKEY=0x0000009c&OVMTC=standard&OVADID=25590807013&OVKWID=287503937513&OVCAMPGID=955549013&OVADGRPID=9323029401&OVNDID=ND1 Go ahead, click on these links and see for yourself! So what do you think of a company who would setup bogus sites and have bogus "Computer Specialists" give out such outrageously erroneous information? For this particular company, their products, and "specialists", the terms snake oil and hucksters are well deserved. For any and all who would want to know, 0x9C errors are Machine Check Exception errors thrown by the processor when it detects hardware problems, hardly has anything to do with the registry and no registry cleaner will ever be able to repair this! http://support.microsoft.com/kb/329284 Stop error message in Windows XP that you may receive: "0x0000009C It really is laughable, do a search on these bogus sites for other well know errors which have absolutely nothing to do with the registry and you will get the same kind of bogus advice and nonsense from these crooks!

You might have been in business for 30 years but with all due respect it doesn't make you any less gullible! RegCure is snake oil peddled by scam artists and still with your 30 years of experience you've been had by these con artists! You want to get the ultimate scam? See this from the same bunch of cons: How to Fix Paretologic Errors http://www.fix-pc-tools.com/?kw=Paretologic&t202id=51627&t202kw=&OVRAW=paretologic%20error%20fix-pc-tools.com&OVKEY=paretologic.com&OVMTC=advanced&OVADID=38089977513&OVKWID=403807122013&OVCAMPGID=1311110513&OVADGRPID=13361367401&OVNDID=ND1 Now that is the ultimate 'circular' scam! It doesn't get any better than that, screw up peoples computers with one scam then scam them again with another scam to fix the first scam! There are countless bogus web sites from these same guys and they all push the same scam and the same useless products. You, as a computer specialist, would recommend these products and steer your customers toward these Canadian scam artists? If one of your customers were to call you telling you that they were experiencing 0x9C errors would you have them run a registry cleaner? Or how about this idiotic nonsense from the same bunch of crooks: Are You Having Trouble with Error Permission Denied? Problem: Error Permission Denied is caused by missing system files or broken system registry structures.... http://error-repair-help.com/support/l1_Permission-Denied.html?OVRAW=stop%3A%200xc5%20permission%20error&OVKEY=error%20permission%20denied&OVMTC=advanced&OVADID=33519963521&OVKWID=273900978521&OVCAMPGID=6314428521&OVADGRPID=13842720409&OVNDID=ND1 Would you have your customers run a registry cleaner to "repair" Access Denied errors? And you approve of these scams? Do you think that Access denied errors are caused by "missing system files or broken system registry structures"?

Regcure is not meant to fix on-going problems with systems. No registry cleaner is a "fix specific problem" utility. They are meant to find POTENTIAL problems that MAY be caused by errors in the Registry, like references to non-existing files. What I use registry cleaners (Regcure and others) for is to remove Registry entries left behind by poorly written Uninstallers. A good uninstaller (and there are a few) remove everything, including Registry entries for the uninstalled software. One way to identify products with poorly written Uninstallers is when full uninstall requires download (from the publisher's support) a special "cleanup" utility for the software. > Need to know more... read on: > > http://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=A0geuvC8qwZMhX4BttOl87UF?p=paretologic+scam&fr=yfp-t-501&fr2=sfp&iscqry= > > Why would any self respecting professional with 30 years of experience > push these products and steer his customers to scams operated by > unscrupulous individuals devoid of any morals?

My first computer TRS-80 (CP/M), True-IBM no-HD (MS-DOS), now build my own systems running WinXP SP3. Professional: Desktop PCs starting in the same period as you (in USN), Novel Server (Production Test Server at Unisys), built/tested Mainframes at Unisys (used a combination of WinXP, Unix, Customized Win2003 Server), computer controlled (WinXP) Phone Switching equipment, have a Linux (Ubuntu) Notebook now (for self-training). Also, I am NOT saying that Regcure does not have problems. But, in a collage-level class I took (required by Unisys) the instructor brought out that with ANY product you will get 6 customer complaints for every 1 customer praise (if you're lucky). What you read, or get responses to, will be heavily weighted to those having problems but that is not an accurate measure of any product because it is not balanced by those who find the product fills their expectations. So, if you had problems with Regcure, then don't use it. I have the "Regcure Pro v3" installed on my home WinXP SP3 system, and (as I've said) been using it for several years now without any problems. BUT I do not use it to FIX problems, I use it as a *preventative* cleanup tool for the Registry. By the way, have any opinion on "Comodo System Cleaner" (includes a Registry Cleaner)? This is what we use at work on our (Win2003 Server STD) Fileserver. http://system-cleaner.comodo.com/ But again, it's not used to FIX problems (and we have none to date). I would not recommend this for the non-techie home user. It does have one fault, the "exclude from next scan" feature *seems* not to work properly. I just never use it. -- ======== Tecknomage ======== Computer Systems Specialist IT Technician San Diego, CA |
