    Registry Cleaner Software:

    Regcure Registry Cleaner

    RegCure is a popular registry cleaner and PC optimization software. It is also one of the most downloaded registry cleaners on the entire internet. But is it really as good as it claims? Or is RegCure just a scam?

    In this review I will give you the pros and cons of RegCure, so you can decide for yourself if this is something you want to install on your PC.

    RegCure contains a host of useful features which are an addition to its basic task as a registry cleaner. It has a Start-Up Manager, which allows you to choose which programs load up when your computer starts. Stopping certain programs from loading can considerably increase the speed of your PC, so this is a useful feature. It also has an easy to use back up feature, which ensures you can easily repair any errors that may arise if you manually edit your registry - and this also means RegCure can't do any damage to your PC - as some people have claimed.

    Another useful feature is RegCure's ability to defrag and compress your registry. This doesn't remove anything from your registry, instead it organizes it in a logical, linear structure - which allows your computer to run and load programs faster.

    Ease of Installation:

    RegCure was very easy to install. You simply download a small file (which takes about 10 seconds with an average broadband connection). When the file is executed, RegCure will automatically install itself and create a desktop shortcut. This means virtually no PC knowledge is required, as it is all very self explanatory.

    Customer Support:

    The RegCure software features a fully comprehensive internal manual, which means you can simply click on the "help" icon at the top right of every screen and you will find the answers you're looking for. The help feature details every aspect of the RegCure program (even though much of the interface is very intuitive and easy to understand). You also recieve a technical support contact, which you can use if you have any problems.

    RegCure is one of the best-selling Registry Cleaner & Optimization software available in the market, and it's easy to see why. The intuitive presentation and excellent functionality make it one of the best choices you can make if you're looking to speed up your computer or fix PC errors.

    Questions:

    What is much better? An on-line antivirus or not? I mean is it much better to have an antivirus which is base its data virus definition automatically on the web, or an antivirus which you need to update its data virus definition and install it in your computer?

    Well the disadvantage of the first one is that, it is necessary to have Internet connection always. No net, it is useless. Well I gues it goes on the same way with the second one.

    The on-line antivirus, I am talking about is "AVAST".
