-Wake up! Has this dream stopped?The snake was pale gold Glazed and shrunken
And she was beside me Ooh, she's not young Her dark red hair, her white soft skin
Now, run to the mirror in the bathroom, look She's coming in here I can't live through each slow century of her moving
The smooth hissing snakes of rain...

It's not worth the money in my opinion. There are free registry cleaners that work well - such as CCleaner.

Do not use uniblue. Contrary to Mech.pc review in 2006, it does not uninstall !!!! It is a scam. Do not download. You have to do a search "uniblue" and you will find the files untouched even after "uninstall". If they lie about this then what else ???? Don't download it.

Just clicked the link on this site. This site PCMech must be a Uniblue run/owned site. Do not download this software. It will not uninstall. It leaves a bunch of files on your computer after running windows "uninstall". Alert !!! Use a free one and avoid the malware in Uniblue.

If you try to delete Uniblue files it "fights" you and puts copies in the c:\"recycler". That is why this is malware. You can't get rid of it with a simple delete. Go here to microsofts site to see how to use the C prompt to get rid of these third party malware

files.http://support.microsoft.com/kb/229041

Ok, there's some misinformation and false assumtions, flwizard.

First, PCM is not owned by Uniblue. The extent of the relationship is that some of their ads appear on the site.

Second, the recommended registry cleaner around here is CCleaner. It does the job well, doesn't cause problems, and it's free.

Third, that review is from three years ago, and certainly much of it no longer applies to the current version of Uniblue's product.

To remove malware, we usually recommend malwarebytes and spybot.

Lastly, the microsoft article you linked to only applies to Windows NT. You should not need touch the command line at all.
