I do not use any software that offers a "free scan" and neglects to tell 
you that the "fix it" part of the program is available only for sale. I 
consider them a scam. For a registry cleaner, I would stick with the 
truly free programs or maybe the ones that offer a "free trial" before 
purchase.

In the case of RegCure, this is the first time I have heard that name 
though that does not mean it is not a good program.
