Description:
PU.RegInOut detects registry issues on a PC and offers fixing them in order to boost the PC speed. Fixing needs a license key. This license costs $ 29.97 (Status: June 2017).
Removal Instructions:
Quicklaunch area:
Please remove the following items from your start quick launch area text to the "Start" button in the taskbar at the bottom.
To check where they are pointing to, right-click them and choose "Properties" from the context menu appearing.
Quicklaunch symbols named "RegInOut System Utilities.lnk" and pointing to "<$PROGRAMFILES>\RegInOut System Utilities\RegInOut.exe".
Files:
Please use Windows Explorer or another file manager of your choice to locate and delete these files.
The file at "<$COMMONDESKTOP>\RegInOut System Utilities.lnk".
The file at "<$COMMONPROGRAMS>\RegInOut System Utilities\RegInOut System Utilities.lnk".
The file at "<$COMMONPROGRAMS>\RegInOut System Utilities\Uninstall RegInOut System Utilities.lnk".
The file at "<$PROGRAMFILES>\RegInOut System Utilities\RegInOut.exe".
The file at "<$PROGRAMFILES>\RegInOut System Utilities\unins000.exe".
Make sure you set your file manager to display hidden and system files. If PU.RegInOut uses rootkit technologies, use the rootkit scanner integrated into Spybot-S&D (http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=spybotsd) 2.x or our Total Commander anti-rootkit plugins (http://forums.spybot.info/downloads.php?id=3).
You will have to use a global search for files without a name specified. Be extra careful, because just the name might not be enough to identify files!
Important: There are more files that cannot be safely described in simple words. Please use Spybot-S&D (http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=spybotsd) to remove them.
