Editor's review of PC Bug Doctor

• 3.0 stars

• "PC Bug Doctor"

• Reviewed by: CNET Staff
• Version reviewed: PC Bug Doctor 1.5

An impressive interface is all that differentiates this run-of-the-mill Registry cleaner from countless competitors. A huge beetle runs from time to time across the program window, maybe to scare you into buying PC Bug Doctor. We found it disconcerting how little information and how few options this program gives you. Of course, most people will never use anything more than the Scan and Delete buttons, but we'd like a chance to review found bugs. You can schedule automatic scans, and the program lets you restore deleted items in case stability problems crop up. However, the trial version doesn't let you test how well it fixes bugs. PC Bug Doctor may be no better or worse than other Registry cleaners, but we can't say for sure--and experience has made us wary of quacks.

  "Only scans for registry errors."

  by Zane77 on November 15, 2007

  Pros: PC Bug Doctor has an interesting interface, click the start scan now button. And it shows another screen, with bugs going through while it scans for registry errors. The last thing it shows is how many registry errors are found.

  Cons: Unfortunately PC Bug Doctor will not repair the found registry errors, unless you pay $39.99. There are some free registry cleaners that will scan find errors and repair the found registry errors.

  "Scans and removes errors very fast"

  by goldengreeke on December 19, 2005

  Pros: Unfortunately, that is all it does for $40.00, there are other products that have more tools for less money on the market. I have the paid version of PC Bug Doctor, and it has fixed errors on my pc that other utilities couldn't, but I still can't recommend it for this price.

  Cons: No free trial...only free scan.
