What is Repair Registry Pro?

Repair Registry Pro is a rogue registry cleaner - a fake registry cleaning utility, which uses trojans, such as Zlob or Vundo, to enter the system. This parasite uses popups and fake system notifications to "inform" the user that he has registry errors and therefore needs a registry cleaner to deal with the non-existent problem.

Upon entering the system, Repair Registry Pro will flood the user with popups and fake system notifications in hopes of misleading the him into buying the parasite's fake "licensed version". If the user falls for this disinformation, he can consider himself scammed. The number of rogues in recent times speaks for itself - they work.

The homepage of this scam, repairregistrypro.com, provides no useful information whatsoever: there are merely three lines of text and a F.A.Q section. That is hardly something that ensures credibility.

Repair Registry Pro is a scam and should be treated as such: do NOT download or buy it and block repairregistrypro.com using your HOSTS file.
