Wise Registry Cleaner 8.12
What is Wise Registry Cleaner?
This is a PC 'cleaner' applicaion that is supposed to speed up a computer by removing invalid registry entries as well as provides some additional utilities.
Overview
During setup, the program registers itself to launch on boot through a Windows Schedule Task in order to automatically start-up (this is typically done to avoid any UAC prompts). A scheduled task is added to Windows Task Scheduler in order to launch the program at various scheduled times (the schedule varies depending on the version). The primary executable is named wiseregcleaner.exe. Many users end up uninstalling this after less than a month of it being installed. The setup package generally installs about 11 files and is usually about 7.08 MB (7,422,167 bytes). The installed file LiveUpdate.dll is the auto-update component of the program which is designed to check for software updates and notify and apply them when new versions are discovered.
- Automatically starts with Windows
- The wisdom of the experts agree, if you don't use it you should remove it!
