How to remove RegistryCleanFix?
What is RegistryCleanFix?
RegistryCleanFix is a rogue anti-spyware program, or, more precisely, a rogue registry cleaner. It is supposedly the best tool on the market, but is actually neither "the best" nor a tool. This a scam just as so many others of the same kind.
RegistryCleanFix makes its way to your computer through web-browser security holes or by way of manual download and installation. When active, RegistryCleanFix allows you to scan the registry for errors. While your registry may have real errors, this program is not one to know, instead, it falsifies the report so it contains a lot of errors. There "errors" can only be removed by purchasing the full version, which is a fake.
It is relatively easy to tell that RegistryCleanFix is a scam upon looking at its website, which provides the user with a few give-aways of the programs nature. One of these would be the lack of contact information – no legitimate company would fail to provide it. Other than that, the content is just really poorly written.
RegistryCleanFix is a scam and should be treated as such: do not download or buy it and block registrycleanfix.com using your hosts file.

I have been a victim of this scam and have paid a full licence for what appears to be a duffer. Luckily I have Symantecs Norton Internet Security 2008 suite on my PC which recognised that this was a “misleading application” and removed it automatically from my machine. Although a winged an email off to the company I have received nothing tangible to work from so appears as though I have to kiss this one goodbye. SO BEWARE,, and ensure that you have good internet security installed othewise you could be in trouble
