RegGenie

What is RegGenie?

RegGenie is one more dubious piece of software that is categorized as a potentially unwanted program. This application has received such classification mostly because it exhibits quite a few dubious features. On its official website, this program is promoted as a great optimization tool which you should use if you wish to make your computer perform in a much more efficient way. While these claims sound tempting and are somewhat true, you should know that the actual functionality of this potentially unwanted program is not that great in reality. In quite a few cases it might not be useful at all. Another questionable feature of this program is the fact that at times it could even be distributed in dubious ways; in such ways that malicious programs are often distributed as well. Below we provide our further findings regarding the questionable functionality of this program along with a detailed removal guide. Our team highly advises you to remove RegGenie as it serves virtually no good reason and could even come with other questionable programs.

What does RegGenie do?

The primary indication that RegGenie is fully active on your computer is a system scan taking place. The whole scan is designed to identify the flaws within your operating system, which may be causing the slower operation of your PC. The scan will start whether you like it or not; so will the application itself since it auto starts with your operating system, which is annoying, to say the least. The scan does not take long to be over and then you will see a list of errors within your PC. The whole list might be rather large and you might not have the time to go through all the alleged errors detected by this optimization tool. Fortunately, our research team has done so; an in-depth analysis of these flaws has revealed that a number of errors cannot be trusted entirely. In fact, the whole list is questionable, to say the least as it presents temporary files and inactive registry entries as responsible for the slow performance of your computer. You might not realize this if you are not an advanced computer user, but such files and registry entries do not affect the performance of your personal computer in any way. Usually, dubious optimization tools present such questionable results in order to lure users into believing that they need to use the tool to optimize their system. It is important to note that we highly advise you to delete RegGenie and use a different, more reliable application instead.

Where does RegGenie come from?

Quite a few users are not aware of the questionable functionality of RegGenie and obtain it from its official website via a direct download link. Unfortunately, not all users acquire this potentially unwanted program this way. We have received reports that some users have this program running on their PC, but they did not install it consciously. This signifies that in some cases this application could be distributed via software bundles, which are obtained from third-party unauthorized websites. Such installers are a common way that malware creators spread their questionable programs. Thus, if you are a user that has the dubious tool in question running on your PC, and you did not install it yourself you should take immediate measure to check your whole operating system for other suspicious applications. If you wish to safeguard your PC from any dubious program, make sure to obtain your software from official vendors’ websites only as they do not tend to provide bundled installers. Also, we recommend learning about the program that you wish to have as much as possible before downloading and installing it since some vendors might use deceiving marketing tactics to lure naïve Internet users into obtaining their questionable software.
