Reviewed by: CNET Staff
On the positive side, Free Registry Fix's interface is aesthetically pleasing, well arranged, and easy to use. Most of the window's real estate is reserved for a pane that shows the sections of the Registry the application is scanning. Free Registry Fix searches for such entries as invalid application paths, broken shortcuts, and problematic ActiveX controls. You'll also find a couple of handy features, such as scheduling and backup utilities. In spite of its enticing name, however, the program isn't free and will remove only 50 entries before registration. Once it removes those 50 entries, it pops up a registration window we could close only by clicking on the Upgrade Now button. Also, in our latest round of tests, the program generated an error message, although it still seemed to work just fine. The trial restriction alone puts Free Registry Fix far down our list of favorite tools.Publisher's description

Version: Free Registry Fix 5.0
"Free Registry Fix Unlimited Fixer version Complete Scam"
Pros: I upgraded at $29.95 from the free version. Locked up my computer. There is no way to contact the company except for live contact who sent me a email with directions. Still didn't work. Asked repeatedly for refund and completely ignored.
Cons: DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT. ABSOLUTELY WORTHLESS AND BOCUS CUSTOMER SUPPORT. YOU CAN'T EMAIL OR CALL THEM.
Summary: I paid $30 for a product that did not work and could not get a refund.

"This program is impossible to uninstall!"
Pros: This program does not work as advertized. It is a scam.
Cons: I payed to register this program but I still only get the free version limited to 100 fixes. My confirmation email does not give a product key. It keeps popping up doing scans even though turned off. I am rebuilding my computer to get rid of it.
Summary: Do not let this product get near your computer - It will cause you endless grief! It is not removable!
