Lishbos Registry Scanner

What is Lishbos Registry Scanner?

According to the official information prepared by Lishbos Technologies Pvt. Ltd., Lishbos Registry Scanner is a reliable application that can remove registry errors to fix slow computer’s performance. It is suggested that this suspicious program can repair registry damage and enhance overall performance. Unfortunately, some users are tricked into believing that that is true, when, in reality, it is just a potentially unwanted program (PUP) that serves no one else but its creator. If you install it onto your Windows operating system, it immediately introduces you to fake scanner results to make you think that there are hundreds or even thousands of critical errors. The scanner results are meant to push you into clicking the “Fix All” button, which, of course, leads to a purchase page. Even though the suspicious registry scanner is retailed at 7 USD (a permanent discount from 25 USD), you should not waste one cent on it. If you already have, we suggest looking into the possibility of getting your money back; however, it is unlikely that you will get anywhere with that. In any case, deleting Lishbos Registry Scanner is crucial, and this report shows how to do that.

How does Lishbos Registry Scanner work?

Did you install Lishbos Registry Scanner from its official website, lishbos.com? This website represents a regular installer, as well as a silent one, and that is very odd. Have you found this potentially unwanted program installed without your permission? If you have, you really need no other reason to remove it from your operating system right away. It is also possible that you have been introduced to the suspicious program via a third-party installer. Unfortunately, in this case, the PUP is most likely to be bundled with other undesirable programs or much more dangerous infections. Therefore, if Lishbos Registry Scanner is active, immediately scan your operating system – and we suggest using a legitimate malware scanner – to see if maybe you need to delete other unreliable pieces of software. When it comes to the PUP, we cannot classify it as a malicious infection because it does not do any harm to your computer or your personal data. At worst, it can scam you into paying for bogus services. Of course, if you do that, your personal information that you share during the payment could be recorded, which could potentially put you at risk of virtual identity theft.

When Lishbos Registry Scanner “scans” your operating system, it is meant to find “System Related Errors,” “COM and Active-X Errors,” “User Related Errors,” as well as “Startup and Uninstall Errors.” In reality, this potentially unwanted program does not have the technical capability to find anything wrong, which is why it displays fictitious errors instead. Unfortunately, the interface of this bogus tool is pretty convincing. Also, it uses the credentials of Microsoft to make you think that its services are legitimate. On top of that, a toll-free support number (1-800-887-7982) is offered, which adds to the legitimate look of the entire service. Of course, fake helpline numbers exist. In fact, there is a whole group of scams that rely on fictitious helplines. Do you know how to distinguish between legitimate and fake ones? First of all, you can research them online to see what the deal is. Second, if you call the helpline, and no real help is offered – instead, you are only pushed to install software or purchase suspicious services – you should recognize a scam. Overall, all things considered, we recommend removing Lishbos Registry Scanner, not trusting it.

How to delete Lishbos Registry Scanner

You do not need to be highly experienced to be able to remove Lishbos Registry Scanner successfully. Of course, if you cannot follow the steps below, or if the infection remains active after you complete them, a reliable anti-malware tool can be the best assistant. If you are not sure about this, remember that anti-malware software can get rid of all infections – and there is a possibility that the PUP came bundled with malware – as well as keep your operating system guarded reliably.
