"Program interface doesn't fit properly into my screen."
Version: RegScrubXP 5.1
Pros
None. I couldn't use it.
Cons
Couldn't use it, because the interface was too big. The program isn't supported anymore by the author.
Summary
Well couldn't use it for the simple fact the program doesn't fit in my 1024*768 resolution, which I would think is pretty average for computers now days. I have .Net Framework 3.5 SP1 installed too. A very careless programming flaw in this piece code. Too bad. I guess I will look elsewhere.

"WARNING! - NOT Lexun RegscrubXP! Maybe Malware?"
Version: RegScrubXP 5.1
Pros
None. Worse than any other Registry Cleaner I know of. Nuisance-ware at best.
Cons
Very ugly, oversized, interface. VERY slow. Ripped enormous chunks out of my Start Menu & Programs despite the fact that I stopped the scan & didn't remove ANYTHING because I didn't trust it.
Summary
An ugly nuisance of a program. CNET should pull it. Why use the same product name RegscrubXP as Lexun's great, reliable registry cleaner?
I think I may have answered my own question there!
The author says: 'I am an individual, not a company. I have been programming since 1971.<b> I have re-written RegScrubXP</b> and it is now better than ever!
No, it isn't, Nick, it's knackered now! - Isn't this what's called plagiarism or something?
Try googling Lexun RegscrubXP instead for the real thing. -
"Great - Free - program"
Version: RegScrubXP 5.1
Pros
- Able to choose what to you need to delete
- Does a great job of cleaning the registry.
- Trusted and True. Does as it claimsCons
The program has screen size issues some times where the text does not line up with the box's they are supposed to be in.
- Have to run several times if you want to make sure reg. is real clean...not a bad thing though.Summary
- I have used this program for over 5yrs on my personel PC and in the field (I.T. tech). I have great trust and this program has always done the job and has never caused a system not to work after being used.
Pair it with "MV RegClean 5" for a great combo.

"good, easy to use. found errors others missed"
Version: RegScrubXP 5.1
Pros
I found this program easy to use and it found errors missed by other programs.
Cons
the update checker didn't work for me
-
"Must have."
Version: RegScrubXP 5.1
Pros
simple easy to use. Works well with Vista. Catches things other programs miss.
Cons
A tad slow but worth the wait!
Summary
The scan picks up bad registry entries that other free software misses. That said it is worth using Wise registry cleaner in conjunction with this. It does what it says and appears safe for the newby to use provided they keep clear of the advanced option.
I totally agree with your comments. It is a shame that the the user rating is being dragged down by people that don't know how to use either the software or their computer!
Other paid for products seem to do only a similar job so this natty program is well worth using. Use of .net framework may put people off as it means another install and that may be viewed with suspicion, however following the fully automated prompts it is easy to do the required installations and speed up the PC following the fist scan. I would highly recommend the program to all PC users and congratulate the program makers.

"Could not use it"
Version: RegScrubXP 5.1
Pros
Not intuitive. I could click on "scan" but couldn't do anything with the results.
Cons
I've used version 3 since forever and just love it. I thought the newer version would be even better. But I can't figure out how to use it. So it gets a "terrible" rating in the hope that the developers can fix the program.
Summary
This version was hugely disappointing.

"Control window is too large: cannot operate program."
Version: RegScrubXP 5.1
Pros
Unable to determine since I could not operate the program
Cons
Unable to operate the program: control too large for computer's display screen. CNET should not offer this program for download. Unable to locate vendor on internet to download an update or fix. Do not download.
