How to remove RegistryGreat?
What is RegistryGreat?
RegistryGreat (a.k.a Registry Great 5.2) is 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.
RegistryGreat usually infects your system via web browser security holes or after you manually download and install it without knowing that it’s a parasite. Once inside, RegistryGreat allows you to "scan" your computer registry for "errors". While your registry may have real errors, this program is not the one to know: instead, it falsifies the report so it would contains numerous imaginary errors. There "errors" can only be removed by purchasing the full version, which is as fake as the free one.
It is relatively easy to tell that RegistryGreat 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, while registrygreat.com does precisely that. Oh, and the "user testimonials", supposedly written by Americans (the grammar mistakes reveal otherwise) are fake as usual. Other than this, the content is just really poorly written.
RegistryGreat is a scam and should be treated as such: do not download or buy it and block registrygreat.com using your hosts file.
