RegTool

RegTOOL is registry cleaning software that is designed to seek out and remove broken files in the registry that could be causing degradation in the performance of the computer. They offer a free download scan which will see how many issues there are but repair and fixing can only be done with the fully paid for version.

The software looks for and identifies invalid files where their associations have been broken as well as ActiveX files that cause issues, broken font and DLL files. This is the same standard set of checks that other registry software packages undertake. Also included is the standard of system backups and restore point creation before a repair is undertaken.

Where RegTOOL differs from the standard is that the package now includes system manager extras to help tweak the system to maximum performance. These are items that exist within the system already but are designed to be easier to use by having everything in one place, for example system defragmenter and internet optimizer.

Actual Customer Feedback

“Bogus malware remover and system tune-up tool”

YoKenny, http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/regtool.com

“RegTool is riskware and the only result via VirusTotal is by Comodo; Avira reports it "clean" so there is no malicious content concerning a virus or Trojan, etc.

However, exaggerating problems, especially when they do not exist, and then requiring a charge to fix / remove these nonexistent problems is classified as a SCAM. “

“Program hosted on this page is commonly packaged in prevalent trojans like Zlob, Vundo, Smitfraud-C, WMF Exploit variants, and also certain browser hijacker families like CoolWebSearch. There is nothing legitimate about the product hosted here, so stay away (and block the page in the HOSTS file if you must!)”

“The Antimalware program worked great. It helped me.. It speeded my computer up after removing malware. I also used RegTool . However Norton 2010 tinds it as malware.”

“RegTool disclosure was easy as this program has two clones, namely RegfixPro and ErrorFix. All the programs share same graphic user interface (GUI). However, there were more string reasons to give per se one program three unique names. We suppose that the rascals distributing RegTool are looking for the best way of malware distribution. An approximate estimate shows that RegTool is mainly distributed as a virus payload, while RegfixPro is often installed by Trojan-downloader and ErrorFix is rather distributed in every possible way without obvious prevalence.”

Overall Recommendations

Given all the evidence that RegTOOL is itself malware at worst or spyware and a scam at best, there is nothing to make it worthy of recommendation. The free scan software is more likely to deliver a virus than to detect what needs to be cleaned up in the registry so that should be avoided as well. It appears that ErrorFix and RegTOOL both operate from the same IP address and under the umbrella of the same company which should be enough to raise a flag of concern given that the tools are sold to do precisely the same job with the same functionality.

Reimage is hard to categorize as it isn’t the typical registry cleaning product but markets itself as a Window’s platform repairer. It works by doing a free scan to identify what issues exist in the operating system, any operating system files that need updating and if there are any Trojans, pop ups, viruses or spam that need to be deleted. It is an 'All in One Program' designed to do the whole lot.

At this point instead of being offered a one off purchase and download option, Reimage offers the option to pay for a one time fix/repair. It is possible to get a refund if unsatisfied with the result but in general the service is like employing a remote technician to do a one-off fix for a fraction of the price.

The idea being that this will not only correct all the obvious issues but tune the system in the process so further scans and fixes are not required for quite some time, if at all.

The repair is achieved by removing all the damaged and broken files and replacing them with ones from Reimage’s ‘spare parts repository’.

For the individual Reimage seems a bit more pricey than thoe others but essential and well worth the cost if you want to get the job done properly.

As a computer technician visiting client sites it can be used as if proprietary software.
