Lishbos Registry Scanner Removal Guide

If you recently downloaded Lishbos Registry Scanner thinking that it will help you optimize your computer and fix any issues it might have, then think again because this program is nothing but a scam. We have classified it as a potentially unwanted program and suggest that you remove it from your PC at your earliest convenience because it has nothing valuable to offer to you. This program was created to make its developers money and its functionality is questionable at best. We have tested this program and found some bad things about it. So if you got this program on your PC, then you should consider uninstalling it and getting a better, free program that would perform even better than this one.

Lishbos Registry Scanner is promoted as a system optimization tool and registry cleaner. In fact, cleaning the registry is all this program is allegedly capable of doing. However, it fails to do even just that. Our tests have shown that this application shows fake scan results that include non-existent registry keys and entries. The program might falsify them to make it look like your computer is in worse shape than it actually is. However, you should not trust it to remove empty and unassociated keys because it might delete a whole string of perfectly fine keys by mistake. Before you can “fix” the issues identified by this program you have to purchase it. We have found that it costs 7 USD which is not much considering how much software costs these days. However, this program is nothing but a scam so do not throw your 7 dollars away by purchasing this application. The bottom line is that a registry clean will not improve your computer’s performance. A registry clean can save you a few kilobytes of hard drive space, but that is pretty much it. Although some malicious registry keys can perform unsanctioned actions but that is what anti-malware tools are for.

Another thing we want to cover is that fact that this application was configured to feature a tech support phone number: 1-800-887-7982. We believe that the techies on the other end of the line will try to sell you this program and do everything they can to persuade you to buy Lishbos Registry Scanner. Therefore, you should not expect the techies to provide with genuine tech support because they are there to serve an agenda.

Our research has revealed that Lishbos Registry Scanner was made by a company known as Lishbos.com. Allegedly, this company is based in New Delhi, India, at least that is what its website claims. The name of the company is Lishbos.com as well, and we have no information about this company releasing any programs prior to Lishbos Registry Scanner. We want to note that this website features to installers for this registry cleaner. The first one is at https://lishbos.com/reg-software/registry-scanner.exe and the second one is at https://lishbos.com/reg-software/registry-scanner-01236541_silent.exe. The difference between them is that registry-scanner-01236541_silent.exe installs a silent version of this program that does not show this program among other installed applications featured in Control Panel. You cannot run its uninstaller, so you have to delete all files and registry keys manually to get rid of this program entirely.

While Lishbos Registry Scanner is not a malicious program but it is certainly an unreliable one. We have classified it a potentially unwanted program because it shows fake scan results and then tries to convince you to purchase the program. We find this unacceptable and also the fact that it has a silent version that does not have an uninstaller makes this program even more untrustworthy. Therefore, we recommend that you remove Lishbos Registry Scanner from your PC manually using our guide to get rid of all of its files and registry keys.
