Smart Registry Care

Posted: May 29, 2017

The Smart Registry Care is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) that is promoted as a powerful PC optimization tool that can help users restore their computer's performance, forget about Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) errors, and clean up their Registry settings so that their applications will run smoother, with fewer crashes. However, users who opt to download, install and run the Smart Registry Care may be in for a surprise, because this utility will not fix any problems if users don't purchase a full license worth $99/year. To convince users to pay the price for the full package of the Smart Registry Care's services, the application's trial version may display exaggerated results, therefore tricking users into thinking that their computers' health are worse than it is.

Apart from these fishy methods to trick users into buying their product, the authors of the Smart Registry Care also may have exaggerated the claims on their website by stating that their application is capable of fixing Blue Screens of Death. BSOD errors are associated with hardware malfunction, which means that no software would be able to eliminate these errors entirely. Users who don't opt to pay for the full product may end up seeing regular notifications and reminders that their Pcs are yet to be optimized and they need to pay for the full version of the Smart Registry Care to boost performance, speed and reliability.

Although the removal of the Smart Registry Care is not mandatory, we advise our readers to think twice whether they'd like to continue using an application that forces them to buy the full license to operate as expected. The removal of the Smart Registry Care can be executed either manually, or with the use of a credible anti-malware utility.
