This program is designed to remove Registry errors, though the trial version only spotlights them. Run PC Doctor performs a protracted scan of your system, looking for broken and invalid entries in the Registry areas of your choice. You can opt to hear a little beep each time an error is located, although this can become rather annoying after a while. The program located and sorted all of the errors by type found on our computer, and we could print the results. Another favorable feature to note is its scheduled daily scans; just set it and the program goes to work on its own. To our dismay, the trial version only scans and lists your problems. Fittingly, backup and restore tools aren't available in this version either since Registry repair is negated. While it does a decent enough job at sniffing out errors, we can't honestly recommend it for fixing Registry errors.

Almost malware itself

Pros
None. Bait ad will offer to scan your PC for free.
Cons
Unethical marketing practice tricks you into installing expensive parasiteware
Summary
So your PC is running slowly. It has been for awhile. You start looking around on the net for solutions and you find this free scanner. You run it and freak out when 82 malicious packages are uncovered. Some are adware, and some are very nasty virus' that will ruin your computer and steal your identity. Not to worry, PC Doctor can fix it for you. Before you think it through, you've entered your visa and installed PC Doctor. You breath a sigh of relief, then you run the scan again. Where did all of the malware go? Now there are only 12 hits, all just adware. PC Doctor can fix these very slight annoyances, but now that it is running in the background, you can't shake the feeling that your pc is running slightly slower. "FFS" you say to yourself. You are an advanced user who just fell for the malware removal scam equivalent of a Nigerian Prince Scam. You have some time to kill, so you call the company to say, hey, WTF? A polite tech pretends not to know what you're talking about. PCD fixed your PC, why the fuss? You go through considerable trouble removing this POS tool, and forget about it until you get an email eleven months later that your visa is going to be debited. You respond. "No," you say, "it was humiliating enough that I got taken by junior marketing tricks. Now just go away." "ok, they say." The next month your credit card gets debited again. No amount of calling or emailing gets the transaction reversed. You have to take it to your credit card company to get it taken off. This experience was from eight years ago. Even if they have completely cleaned up their act, I wouldn't run this on my PC for any reason ever.

Pros
Cons
Warnings should be given to users as they don't know how poor some products are. This is truelly one of them - has no good impact, but plenty of bad - like wiping out all my settings and me having to reinstall XP. X rated software
