eHow: Great advice given on how to rid yourself of Uniblue Registry Booster

http://www.ehow.com/how_5766115_remove-uniblue-registry-booster.html

A pity about the ads for stuff every bit as bad as UBR..

...........................................................................................................................................

I saw this one posted in the MS forums today in response to something an MS software engineer had posted.

"Marilyn is right, it's because registry keys that are still in use by your software have been removed by your registry cleaner. Which Registry Cleaner are you using? Most are are rubbish and only out to take your money.

I've written an article using a Windows Registry Cleaner on my website. It also contains some real registry cleaner reviews from around the web. Take a look if you get time."

The link in that reply takes you to here: http://www.registrycleanerreviews.net/ 

This is NOT help in any shape or form. It is scamming. There are hundreds of blogs like this which make it next to impossible to find a truthful article about the registry helpers.

I am telling you here.
