  [...] After my messy experience trying to use Registry Booster to clean up my new / used laptop I had another look around to find a good (and free) utility to clean out the registry and profiles on my system. [...]

  I had registery booster installed and i cant find it as i want to uninstal it how do i uninstall registery booster

• 6 Bill // Jun 25, 2007 at 12:35 pm

  Hi Trevor,

  If you open up a Microsoft Explorer window (just open up “My Computer”) then go into C: drive, then the Program Files folder, then Uniblue. In there you should be able to find the uninstall program, but if it isn’t in there then check the subfolders to see if it is a bit deeper in there.

  I hope that helps…

  when I want to uninstall this it always tells me its impossible cause its currently running; even after I reboot. Another pirate software?

• 8 Bill // Jun 26, 2007 at 4:18 am

  Try starting Windows in Safe mode and then see what happens. If you start windows in safe mode then hopefully it won’t start up Registry Booster and you will be able to uninstall it.

  Good as their product may (or may not) be, I too don’t like the way Uniblue markets and tries to “force” you to buy their product.

  I succeeded in getting rid of Uniblue Registry Booster 2 by doing the following:

  1. open the Registry Booster 2 application
  2. click on the Settings tab
  3. un-check all of the default settings
  4. click on Apply
  5. close the application
  6. restart your machine
  7. right click on Start (bottom left of your screen) and click Explore
  8. scroll down and click on Program Files
  9. scroll down until you find Uniblue and right click on the folder
  10. scroll down and choose Delete – confirm that you want to Delete the folder
  11. go back to your desktop, empty your Trash Bin and restart your machine

  This should have deleted Uniblue from your machine and it should have booted up without launching Uniblue Registry Booster 2. Congratulations … you are free of one more piece of zombieware!

• 10 Bill // Jun 30, 2007 at 11:02 pm

  Thanks for the step by step advice Derek.

  That should help people get rid of Registry Booster once and for all.

• 11 hoddy // Jul 3, 2007 at 1:19 pm

  Uninstall Registry booster by Uniblue.
  I followed uninstall hints, but am not sucsessful after lots of effort, also in the registry file.
  This is a zombie ! Others, be careful !
  Who can help me to undelete these pirates ??

• 12 Bill // Jul 3, 2007 at 3:15 pm

  Hoddy,

  Did you have a chance to try out the suggestions by Derek?

  If that didn’t work maybe try going to step 6 in his instructions and then try running the uninstall program that is in the folder.

  It might also be worth trying to run a decent registry editor like this Free Registry Editor. That one doesn’t leave any junk on the computer, and only runs in the background if you tell it to.

• 13 hoddy // Jul 3, 2007 at 6:59 pm

  Thks Bill and Derek !
  I got rid of Registry Booster 2 !!!
  I tried Derek’s suggestions extensively and
  lots of others around,… frustrating results.
  I’m not experienced with such kind of bad intentions from people.
  Finally, I got it easaly fixed.
  Followed “Dieter Nuhr” recepie (Ref Yahoo)
  System–Task Mgr–Apply–new task–
  surch all files
  – > I got to erase REGISTRYBOOSTER.exe
  I hope, that finally was it for me.

• 14 Skip // Jul 7, 2007 at 9:13 pm

  I have searcherd high and low for the best registry cleaner and I’ve tested those that look good. What I have learned is that I WILL NEVER HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH RIGISTRY BOOSTER EVER AGAIN! For all of the reasons explained by others who have installed Registry Booster and I hope the owners of the program fall out of bed every morning at 3:00AM for the rest of their lives.

• 15 Skip // Jul 7, 2007 at 9:45 pm

  My sincere thanks to Derek. I followed his instructions and got rid of Register Booster.

• 16 Raj Sandhu // Jul 13, 2007 at 1:54 pm

  Derek, you are a life saver - thank you for helping me finally get rid of Registery Booster 2

• 17 Lily Lee // Jul 25, 2007 at 8:18 am

  Hi Derek, Thanks so much, I surfed in looking for a solution to Registry Booster 2, and followed your directions, and now am rid of the darn thing. Thanks from a grateful senior idiot.

• 18 Che // Sep 13, 2007 at 2:10 am

  Thank you Derek! Everyone who has been infected by this pirate malware should post anywhere and everywhere that this software is BAD, INVASIVE MALWARE. Register Uniblue is a virus.

• 19 Carole // Sep 30, 2007 at 9:29 pm

  Thanks Bill and Derek,

  Isn’t it infuriating how many cons are out there. No should mean NO. and Yes should mean YES. Free to me means FREE of any tricks or manipulation to buy. Trial version means exactly that - try out the program for a period of time… and not “here take a taste - stuff you if it works or not - buy it if you want to prove it works.” and then to make sure you cannot remove it without further waste of time and frustrations. Thank you guys, I followed your advice and it worked. I will not support any company using commercial manipulation or deceipt of any kind. If they are capable of this I would ask the question “what is encoded in their full version?” Hmmmmm??? Scary!!!

• 20 Harry // Apr 25, 2008 at 9:29 am

  Thanks for the infon on Uniblue. it worked a treat.

• 21 Marichelo // Jun 21, 2008 at 7:58 pm

  Many thanks to Bill and Derek, I followed your advices and they worked perfectly.

  

• 22 Stephen // Jun 21, 2008 at 11:26 pm

  Many thanks for advice to remove reg. booster2. and I surely agree with Carole’s remarks.

• 23 Konraden // Aug 21, 2008 at 4:49 pm

  CCleaner (Crap Cleaner) is a fantastic registry cleaner and generaly computer cleaner.

  thanks i finally managed to uninstall reg.booster2

• 25 Mama Mia // Oct 1, 2008 at 6:09 pm

  NEED SERIOUS HELP! I have used all the methods all have listed but to no avail I STILL CANNOT UNINSTALL UNIBLUE REGISTRY BOOSTER 2. What Now???

• 26 Tana // Oct 10, 2008 at 11:50 am

  I hate when a program, which is supposed to be a professional one, no matter if it is free or not, lacks basic professionalism touches, such as the ability to uninstall it without having to format your hard drive in the process.

• 27 Kim // Dec 12, 2008 at 4:30 pm

  Please help me on this.. I have installed Registry Booster 2009 a few days ago. And I can’t get rid of it.. I tried the above steps and it still exists!!

  Save me!!!!

• 28 Kim // Dec 12, 2008 at 4:34 pm

  I followed all the steps and I can’t find Registry Booster anywhere in my computer but it’s still there.. What should I do?

• 29 Vince // Dec 16, 2008 at 9:42 am

  I’m on the same situation as Kim, Is there any new idea? It looks Uniblue have a look on forums/Discussions and change uninstallation process, I use Ccleaner to remove Uniblue keys and after each reboot the keys reappears, frustrating … On my computer inside program files I don’t see any refs to Uniblue BUT the exec still alive somewhere … Difficult !

• 30 david // Dec 23, 2008 at 6:49 pm

  with regards to registry cleaners, especially for those looking for a truly free and fully functional program, i strongly recommend CCleaner by Piriform. this was recommended to me by microsoft support. it also cleans your drive [cookies, browsing history, prefetch data, and much more], and you can control all functions. it is free, and they do only request a voluntary donation.

• 31 david // Dec 23, 2008 at 6:51 pm

• 32 Fernando Cintra // Dec 30, 2008 at 11:01 am

  hey, i had this program on my pc and it was sucks, sucks to install, to repary and to uninstall off course.

  Well i just am here to warn you guys that this program left on my pc an archive of 8,5gb. That archive was from backup that i did before TRY to repair the system.

  There is about 3 months it is here and I just soon it today.

  Then IF you already did a backup, try to find this archive there, it is very big and it is only one, it is extension .bat and it’s name start with a letter F.

  Well done, GoodBye.

• 35 Jose // Jan 17, 2009 at 5:24 am

  I have RegistryBooster for one year with no problem. I also have SpyEraser from Uniblue.
  I do not know how good RegistryBooster is compared to other utilities out there. However, SpyEraser from the same company does seem to work very good. Everytime I go to a bad website that attempts to install something on my PC, it comes up with a permission window. I always tale tell on anything out there, even Java, ActiveX, etc. So I think it is good.

  They might not be as bad as we think. Check this out from a neutral party:

  I Used Revo Uninstaller and got rid of it with no problems at all…
  It has what they call a Hunter mode, i went to that, simply pointed at the icon and it pretty much deleted Uniblue Registry Booster and then went back several times making sure every trace of it was gone and i havent had any issues since…

  Revo works great for uninstalling just about anything giving you trouble…

• 40 Guy // Feb 3, 2009 at 12:22 pm

  Uniblue - Beware!
  This company added an odd VAT rate to the value of my purchase. I then noticed that they wish to auto-charge me at the renewal rate they choose to apply periodically. The only way to opt out of the auto-renewal is to ‘follow the instructions’ that are Emailed AFTER completing the purchase. Seems risky and unethical. Beware!

• 41 Sonia // Mar 20, 2009 at 1:40 pm

  I about went crazy trying to uninstall registrybooster, which mucked up my computer as soon as it was installed, disconnecting the printer and memeo backup, losing all passwords, and putting text into letters 3/4″ high. I found numerous copies of the program in C drive and deleted them one by one, then emptied the recycle bin - but they CAME BACK into C drive - I think they were breeding like rabbits! When I tried to delete one main program I kept getting “access denied.” Finally I found your advice to start the computer in Safe mode - and registrybooster IS GONE! THANK YOU SO MUCH, BILL AND DEREK!!!

• 42 Sonia // Mar 20, 2009 at 1:42 pm

  Forgot to say that after restarting in safe mode I deleted the program again, and access was no longer denied.

• 43 Phil // Mar 24, 2009 at 8:02 am

  If all else fails and you are contemplating a running jump over the nearest bridge in desperation, try one of the simplest remedies of all - a” System Restore”. It got rid of RB for me after trying all the tips in this post. It might mean going back a few weeks to a Restore Point and beware you may loose anything else you have downloaded.

• 44 Worya Nikdin // Apr 2, 2009 at 10:09 pm

  I have been able to uninstall registery booster but since then my Regedit window doesn’t open up anymore. It give the computer something like a hick up when I enter Regedit in run window and click on OK.
  can somebody help?

  You are perfect.. I did the “system restore” which was very fast, then I searched for that rotten program..it’s gone. Thanks ever so much,Phil !!!!

• 46 Reshma // Apr 16, 2009 at 6:02 am

  I deleted the entire folder Uniblue in C: drive.. It disappeared in start menu, but i can still see that stupid thing in Add/Remove programs.. Just wanna get rid of it..

  Help Me!!

  Thanks to Bill n Derek..

• 47 aleks // Apr 19, 2009 at 12:36 am

  Hi
  I had the same problem as you, but finally I fix it. This program Uniblue Registry Booster made my PC to work only on safe mode. And that’s was a big problem to fix it. I tried everything that you suggest, but it didn’t work with me. And the only thing that I did after all that it was running Windows Defender, which removed the harmful file. After that I just removed the program from my PC with Add/Remove programs from Control Panel.
  Actually I’m not sure that Windows Defender really help me , but that was the truth and you can try and see.

• 49 chad // May 10, 2009 at 3:32 am

  spybot search and destroy is safer then registry booster and is free..

• 50 Heather // May 26, 2009 at 1:46 am

  I got rid of Uniblue registry by following previous comments to open the file in program files and reinstall. I unclicked in Settings “start up with Windows” Once I unchecked that box I could easily delete it. Thanks.

  I have been running both CCCleaner & Revo Uninstaller… so after my dissappointment Registry Booster 2009… I shall keep current with my machine. Still looking for a freeware dedicated to maintaining my Registry.

• 57 wguru // Sep 23, 2009 at 12:23 pm

  Key factor needing serious consideration when uninstalling things like RB2, is just this, sure ensure it’s not running when you do use the uninstaller (do not use add-remove programs even if you cannot find the uninstaller, instead reinstall it and then you’ll sure find the uninstaller), and secondly even more important, consider your using RB’s restore files, but do that ever so carefully because restoring registry entries is very tricky (same issue in uninstalling SpyBot and it’s backup restore files, ie; restore .bat files must be used in reverse order (latest fisrt, etc.) to a point where the user’s system had certain programs installed, eg; you can easily bunk the registry as ‘newly’ installed programs (installed later than what you’re restoring the registry to) may rely on registry settings as they are “before” you restore the registry. Lastly, always ensure that you either do a complete registry backup and store it on an external hard drive (is best) and/or also ensure your system restore is turned on and you have a restore point to fall back on (by that I mean many system restore users find that the restore points will fail as a result of the user unknowingly had their external hard drives included on the restore points, and that is a big MS bug because unless you have the exact EHD plugged into the exact USB port AND that port has the exact same drive letter assigned as when the restore point was set, you will sadly fall into the SNAFU where you will see “Windows could not restore…please try another restore point” (with which almost always none of the restore point will work. One last caution, if using system restore in “safe” mode, you cannot uno that restore, but you can go at least restore to an earlier point, assuming you didn’t unknowingly bunk you system restore points by ever having them include an external hard drive.

  hello

  file. i cant remove this - can anyone help - ive tried most things?

• 60 Bob // Dec 6, 2009 at 5:49 am

  I too downloaded Uniblu’s Registry Booster by mistake. I found the Uniblue folder and unistall application which I ran and it seems to have cleared the Application and associated software. However, I forgot to delete the shortcut on my desktop prior to running the uninstall program. Now I cannot delete it or change the name. Any suggestions? Thanks
  Bob

• 61 keith from HULL // Jan 30, 2010 at 8:01 pm

  !!!!!!!!!!—READ THIS—!!!!!!!!!!

  Ok what needs to happen is the EXE (Exacutable) file needs to be deleted so the program cannot run without it! then you can just Nail the remaingin files by deleting them! ive used pc’s since i was 11 years old & although some other people above this post had put some very good idea’s i thought the best way was this!:
  when the program is running OR that big stupid splash screen in blue comes up thats the program then click in the settings on the top left hand side & do what “Derek” suggested & unclick ALL of the boxes!
  then goto the Program files (Click on START button then “My Computer OR computer” then Program Files”) & delete the remaing yellow file thats named ” Registry Booster” then empty your re-cycle bin then restart! the pc IF the program still is active which i am 99.9% sure it wont then i would look at Formatting the C:Drive! i VERY much doubt ANYone will have the issue with this pile of poo program anymore! BUT one thing i WILL stress is run/Scann Your pc after a minute after boot & leave it to do its thing! then that would 100% get rid of any remaining files!! IF anyone needs any help PLEASE feel free to email me @ parataxis72@yahoo.co.uk
  Hope this helps!!!
  Regards

  Thx for deleting my comment, guess real help with all the net got to offer is not your cup of tea..

  I actually wonder now why I put effort in explaining how to truly get rid of the software and have a clean system?

  Silly me, should have known better when coming to a page with people that actually did install that crap!

• 63 Jim // Mar 9, 2010 at 7:00 pm

  Thanks Bill. I was able to remove uniblue after reading you comments on how to find the program folder. I had to restart my computer for all apparent traces of uniblue to disappear.
