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.

    Hi everyone,

    have also fallen foul of the dreaded Regcure Pro in the last few days, and am now trying to get a refund via the web page link given above, but it keeps on just coming up with bogus 'information incorrect' errors which is garbage!!!!

    anyone have a UK number to call to claim a refund under the distance selling and their 30 day money back service??

    (note not the 0800 number they advertise because the only number they could give was a US based one!!

    cheers

    Paul.

    Could not agree more with that last statement: all that garbage being umped into your computer is frustrating.

    But then, also all the serious companies contribute to that too: all of them want to install THEIR extra task bar; push you to create yet one more ACCOUNT with them, all of them push you to install THEIR solution as the default one for that type of application, all of them push you to buy other products from them, etc etc. 

    Was in exactly the same situation as you describe above, with a brand new laptop, that was fully taken over by malware, within a few hours, even after I added Norton Internet Security on it.  

    But then.... when the PC became unusable... it was RegCure pro that saved it. Have over 10 years of good experience with their software.

    Cheers,

    JD
