No! You should dump it immediately. Don't run it and don't let it do
anything.

Registry cleaning programs are all snake oil. Cleaning of the
registry isn't needed and is dangerous. Leave the registry alone and
don't use any registry cleaner. Despite what many people think, and
what vendors of registry cleaning software try to convince you of,
having unused registry entries doesn't really hurt you.

The risk of a serious problem caused by a registry cleaner erroneously
removing an entry you need is far greater than any potential benefit
it may have.

Read http://www.edbott.com/weblog/archives/000643.html
and http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=28099
and also

Let me point out that neither I nor anyone else who warns against the
use of registry cleaners has ever said that they always cause
problems. If they always caused problems, they would disappear from
the market almost immediately. Many people have used a registry
cleaner and never had a problem with it.

Rather, the problem with a registry cleaner is that it carries with it
the substantial risk of having a problem. And since there is no
benefit to using a registry cleaner, running that risk is a very bad
bargain.

    No, not Win32/RegCure.  It was definitely RegCure Pro from Pareto.logic.  Based on what I have read in here and elsewhere, some people have not had problems, but many have had the same major disaster that I had.  Try reading pissedconsumer.com for RegCure Pro.  I am certainly not alone.  And it was NOT Win32/RegCure.  I bought it through a third party - CNET.  It was advertised as endorsed by Microsoft, which was the only reason I bought it.

    Thanks for the info. Wish I had seen it before downloading RegCure Pro . Did get an outlook warning on a confirmation email from pareto.logic as 'failed fraud checks'. However I am still unsure about Pareto. logic and ****. The ' Misleading: Win32/Reg Cure' bulletin is on Microsofts Malware Protection Center site and seems to be a general warning about sites using the 'Reg Cure' title ( Not specifically RegCure Pro by Pareto.logic ?) . Given the still mixed views on 'RegCure Pro' the Pareto logic programme I still wonder whether there is a site or sites masquerading/spoofing this programme and Pareto Logic ?
