loophole Posted December 31, 2006 ID:1848 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Just wondering why Eusing Free Registry Cleaner is listed as a rogue application in the new update. I have used this application for a couple of months now without any problems. I have done scans with AVG AntiSpyware, SUPERAntiSpyware, Spybot, and AntiVir. I haven't noticed it do something malicious or a notification from Zone Alarm about it seeking permission to access the internet. If there is something malicious about this program, please let me know! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin RubbeR DuckY Posted December 31, 2006 Root Admin ID:1849 Share Posted December 31, 2006 It was submitted by one of our members as an application that produced false positives. Its by far not one of the worst ones out there. If you like it, feel free to use it, but make sure it does not delete anything legit.It doesn't look to bad, I might consider an evaluation when I have some time.

Root Admin RubbeR DuckY Posted January 1, 2007 Root Admin ID:1865 Share Posted January 1, 2007 I'm sorry but we can not delete Eusing Free Registry Cleaner from the database.1) It fails inspection with www.siteadvisor.com2) Users reported spam e-mail sent to the e-mail they provided to register.3) The program has a nag screen, yet it is freeware. Poor business practice.4) Many legit items detected on a clean build of Windows XP. Perhaps false positives.Marcin KleczynskiSecurity Software Developerhttp://www.malwarebytes.org Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eusing Posted January 1, 2007 ID:1866 Share Posted January 1, 2007 1) My website is list red as it links some red download website. I removed these red links on 2006/12/26 and SiteAdvisor told me they will change it after 3 weeks. 2) I never sent any spam to any user. I'm just a software author. Why did i send the spam to users? Can anyone help me to find a method to certify it? 3) Yes. My software had a nag screen which you said poor business practice. If you judge my software as spyware depend on this, i don't know how to explain spyware.4) Any software will have some flaw or default as there are million of computer and they installed different software. So we provide the backup of the repaired entries. There are many registry cleaner software and every excellent one had backup function. Don't they have mistake scan?

fredvries Posted January 1, 2007 ID:1868 Share Posted January 1, 2007 But I like the kind reaction of eusing. I feel he is trying to remedy any problems that could qualify his program as rogue.If all those problems are resolved then we, as RogueRemover, have reached our aim and Eusing Free Registry Cleaner could be removed from detection and removal from RogueRemover.The best way is to wait for SiteAdvisor to change its view.

Root Admin RubbeR DuckY Posted January 1, 2007 Root Admin ID:1869 Share Posted January 1, 2007 First off, your software is not considered spyware, it is considered 'rogue'. Meaning it either distributes malware, it is an untrustful company, it spams, it tries to trick the user into buying the product (false positives) and it advertises.My main concern with your product arose when a user attempted to register your program. Shortly after that e-mail address was spammed.A small hint. Do not call this software freeware as it contains a nag screen which you can not disable. This is called shareware, the software costs an amount of money to fully remove any crippled part of it (ie. the nag screen). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eusing Posted January 2, 2007 ID:1888 Share Posted January 2, 2007 I have those mail address of register user. But they register my software to support the new development. They donated $15 to us. If i sold their email as YoKenny62 said, how much about one email address? Did YoKenny62 register my software? If you register and receive the spam, can you send your email address to 'RubbeR DuckY'(the administrator of this website) and tell me. I will ask my agent eMetrix to send mail to other register user to inspect. If you didn't register my software, how can you censure my software?

YoKenny62 Posted January 2, 2007 ID:1893 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Um, out of curiosity, how did you figure that out? Experience!Spammers/scammers are hiring smart programmers to build email gathering applications so that they can spread their sewage to a much wider audience because the anti spammers/scammers are having an effect on the bottom line of the spammers/scammers.We are talking Big Bucks here!The same is happening in the malware infestation area as the malware purveyors want to get their sewage in-your-face to drive their pay-per-click cash cow.

eusing Posted January 3, 2007 ID:1899 Share Posted January 3, 2007 I still only claim YoKenny62 send your email address to 'RubbeR DuckY'. So we can ask my agent eMetrix to verify. If you didn't paid money from eMetrix, I can not get your email address. So this is a method can certify my behavior. Every wrote there can be edited, so i can not make sure the email header you want to post is edited. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoKenny1 Posted January 5, 2007 ID:1916 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Why would he give you your e-mail address if it is already being spammed enough?

Tarun Posted January 23, 2007 ID:2022 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I've tested Eusing Free Registry Cleaner, though it did a good job; I'm afraid it did a bit too good of a job cleaning. It has caused some software I had installed to lose functionality. One such software is IZArc, it broke the right click context menu. When I'd try to extract anything with it it would do nothing at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Root Admin RubbeR DuckY Posted January 25, 2007 Root Admin ID:2040 Share Posted January 25, 2007 That is not HIS internet service provider, that is only his webhost. Kenny may have been sarcastic or may have the spam is being sent from a chinese host. Just trying to clarify. I have heard a few people complain about this spam issue, but the number has been going down. It still broke your computer however there are backups for that reason.

Tarun Posted January 25, 2007 ID:2041 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Yeah, it just broke one program that I noticed. So it's hard to tell what else may have lost functionality.Spamcop is great for reporting spam. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
