Hey guys,

 

My computer kept on giving me 3 error messages. So I googled them and

ran into a company called pc-kitchen: http://www.pc-kitchen.com

 

They said that their registrycleaner could solve my errors.

 

I downloaded the program and it solved 2 of my errors.

 

Now i have one message that appears. Will buying their full version

fix the last one?

 

Has anybody even heard of this product\company and share their

experience?

 

Thanx,

AndySacks

No, just another app that takes advantage of social engineering on

the premise that Registry Cleaning is beneficial. Save your money &

fix your 3 error messages the proper way. ( Diagnose & Resolve ).

it is more likely that the error messages were caused by malware developed

by the person who promises to fix the problem

Re: pc-kitchen registrycleaner

 

Registry cleaners are useless and shouldn't be used. The original problem

was probably caused by malware/spyware. Try running anti malware software

such as Malwarebytes anti malware (free) http://www.malwarebytes.org and see if

that clears up the problem.

Registry cleaning programs are *all* snake oil. Cleaning of the

registry isn't needed and is dangerous. Leave the registry alone and

don't use any registry cleaner. Despite what many people think, and

what vendors of registry cleaning software try to convince you of,

having unused registry entries doesn't really hurt you.

 

The risk of a serious problem caused by a registry cleaner erroneously

removing an entry you need is far greater than any potential benefit

it may have.

Your responses via your adding machine leave a lot to be desired.

You can continue to use registry cleaners; but to advise others to do so is

asking them

to screw up their systems.

Who knows? You haven't said what the error message is, so we haven't

even established whether or not you actually have a real problem.

 

> Has anybody even heard of this product\company and share their

A registry cleaner - even a safe one, should such ever be developed

- is an exercise in, at best, futility. There is no real need for

registry cleaners, other than to provide a profit to their

manufacturers. On rare occasions, registry cleaners can be, in the

hands of a skilled technician, useful, time-saving diagnostic tools.

Otherwise, they're nothing but snake oil.

 

Why do you even think you'd ever need to clean your registry? What

specific *problems* are you actually experiencing (not some program's

bogus listing of imaginary problems) that you think can be fixed by

using a registry cleaner?

 

If you do have a problem that is rooted in the registry, it would

be far better to simply edit (after backing up, of course) only the

specific key(s) and/or value(s) that are causing the problem. After

all, why use a chainsaw when a scalpel will do the job? Additionally,

the manually changing of one or two registry entries is far less likely

to have the dire consequences of allowing an automated product to make

multiple changes simultaneously. The only thing needed to safely clean

your registry is knowledge and Regedit.exe.

 

The registry contains all of the operating system's "knowledge" of

the computer's hardware devices, installed software, the location of the

device drivers, and the computer's configuration. A misstep in the

registry can have severe consequences. One should not even turning

loose a poorly understood automated "cleaner," unless he is fully

confident that he knows *exactly* what is going to happen as a result of

each and every change.

 

Having repeatedly seen the results of inexperienced people using

automated registry "cleaners," I can only advise all but the most

experienced computer technicians (and/or hobbyists) to avoid them all.

Experience has shown me that such tools simply are not safe in the hands

of the inexperienced user. If you lack the knowledge and experience to

maintain your registry by yourself, then you also lack the knowledge and

experience to safely configure and use any automated registry cleaner,

no matter how safe they claim to be.

 

More importantly, no one has ever demonstrated that the use of an

automated registry cleaner, particularly by an untrained, inexperienced

computer user, does any real good, whatsoever. There's certainly been

no empirical evidence offered to demonstrate that the use of such

products to "clean" WinXP's registry improves a computer's performance

or stability. Given the potential for harm, it's just not worth the risk.

 

Granted, most registry "cleaners" won't cause problems each and

every time they're used, but the potential for harm is always there.

And, since no registry "cleaner" has ever been demonstrated to do any

good (think of them like treating the flu with chicken soup - there's no

real medicinal value, but it sometimes provides a warming placebo

effect), I always tell people that the risks far out-weigh the

non-existent benefits.

 

I will concede that a good registry *scanning* tool, in the hands

of an experienced and knowledgeable technician or hobbyist can be a

useful time-saving diagnostic tool, as long as it's not allowed to make

any changes automatically. But I really don't think that there are any

registry cleaners that are truly safe for the general public to use.

Experience has proven just the opposite: such tools simply are not safe

in the hands of the inexperienced user.

It's a little iffy using software from unknown sources for any purposes,

FWIW. IMO paying for it won't do you any further good and you should

not purchase it. You have no way of knowing what malware etc. it may

put on your machine. Personally I would avoid them because they are

unknown to me. A quick surface check shows them not to be spammers or

on any blocklists and I don't see any complaints about them, but ...

that doesn't mean they aren't trying to force you to spend money you

don't need to spend to get that "last" error taken care of; typical of

malware movers.

 

You might try ccleaner and see if it can help you. Other than expensive

ones, it's the only free one that comes to mind right now. Google for

it.

He said that 2 problems were fixed, one remained. Maybe that's so,

maybe not, no way of knowing. BTW, good list but you put it below your

Re: pc-kitchen registrycleaner

 

CCleaner is relatively harmless and is a useful utility if one

selects what one wants to clean. I use it every couple of days

and especially after I delete some program which I no longer

need. I've never heard too many complaints about it.

My view is that CCleaner is a good product, and most of its features

are not only useful, but harmless. However, its one feature I

recommend *against* using is its registry cleaning. Using that is a

potential problem, just as it is with any other registry cleaner.
