KingSoft PC Doctor and Little Registry Cleaner

Computer Help and Discussions Software

Hi guys, just thought I stop by to tell you about two great programs I just found.

The first one is KingSoft PC Doctor. I haven't try this one yet but from the look of the main website, this program look very good. It's kinda like an all in one pc tune up program.

The second one is Little Registry Cleaner, I tried it and it clean up the registry and remove junk files to speed up your pc just like any other registry cleaning program.

Now I know it's no competition with the best software out there or anything but it's nice to add a little extra pc care to you pc right?

Anyone care to give these two program a try and than type up a review? ^_^

I don't think we should be asking members to review a registry cleaner here on the forum of the ccleaner registry cleaner do you?

Oh sorry about that than.

So should I edit this and just ask about the KingSoft PC Doctor?

Kingsoft - Two strikes against :-

1. They previously gave us Office Freeware which had "touches" of share-ware / cripple-ware / time-restricted

2. Their download comes from CNet.com, who immediately tell me they will keep track of what I look at (another fistful of cookies for CCleaner to zap)

and will no doubt embed CNET goodies / downloaders into my system.

I just checked out the Kingsoft PC Doctor website and yes the mirror to get the program is from cnet just like here you can get ccleaner from the mirror filehippo. I'm not sure about what cnet goodies you're talking about??

Warning about CNET here :-

I believe CNET was tweaked their disclosures / terms and conditions / etc and may have claimed to exclude their bundle for certain downloads,

But I have not done an in depth analysis of what looked like "Weasel Words".

hmmm you're right I just check it out and it does sound a bit adware-ish but those are options, you can either chose to install the tech tracker or decline it and just get the program you want. The techtracker is from the website cnet, they don't actually bundle with the program that they host on there.

I hear that! No cookies for me please! I like CCleaner, but it did get a little bit "heavy" over the last two years. I now use PC tuneup Maestro ( http://www.compuclever.com/products/pc-tuneup-maestro )for my registry cleaner and it works alot better and way less spammy than others. Also you can just get it directly from their site rather than CNET..

Anyway, thats my two cents on it..

Isn't it a trial version, the full version costs about $30.00?

I found it a bit too aggressive, but thats just me, I guess.

But the quest for good free software must continue unfettered, so thanks, BossHoman. :)
