Regcure from Paretologic the latest thing making microsoft usuable

I was called out of the monkey house to fix our professors computer who’s exploits have been mentioned in this blog.  We have computers running linux and so the world of windows vista always brings weirdness to our day should it invade it compared with our serene peace we have with our computers.

Vista and windows 7 needs a hefty computer to run it, and not that long ago professor  bought a new dell pc (ready for vista) and got mind fucked by all and sundry converting an old pc from xp to vista it’s detailed here (my blog).

Quite how he gets a machine that could run about 500 nasa spacecraft to the moon at once and make crawl is something i find amusing, this has been achieved in various ways including with three firewalls just so your ’safe’. This computer also connects via a router, so a firewall is not really necessary anyhow.

Its been a while since i have been to professors office, and the thing that was out-of-place was something called regcure which i had never even bothered to even know existed until yesterday (linux does not have a registry).

Naturally something else was not working and even HP could not get there usb thing to perform which he paid them to do and probably the reason for the visit.

So this state of the art pc was running v e  r  y  s l o w l y, no programs were loaded on startup, networking and getting a wired dhcp lease took three minutes, loading any program took forever while i assume regcure did some paranoid checking

Heres the thing while im sure regcure is probably ok but  in the hands of an idiot its downright dangerous – and professor had no clue how or who and why installed it for him.

So after fixing a few things and installing sp2 on vista, and the hp device, i decided to dump regcure.  five or ten reboots (we don’t do that in linux very often) later and networking was faster, and programs actually loaded more speedily.

So to all you microsoft windows experts (yes even you msm computer  magazine journalists*) who think windows is amazing please don’t recommend this crap since i have to clean it off.

Its not my job to worry that a reg entry without anything in it (eg blank) is my problem, i didnt compile the crap and so i have no idea if i could break x.exe by doing so. Take the hp device drivers if they are so bad for vista that they need constant re-installing then any Microsoft operating system is doomed to be fucked about by ‘experts like regcure’ that make windows o/s’s a joke where it works it’s a bloody miracle.

Humans.
