I used Regcure to improve my computer speed but now Stopzilla has detected that I have a 'Trojan' infection and the file name has Regcure in the details.
Does anyone have Regcure e-mail address or tell me how to get rid of this 'Trojan' please?

Thank you Rodash, I wish I had read this 3 days ago. However, I have added my complaint to the list of many complaints.

Others beware about using Regcure. See above advice.

Firstly my apologies to ACtheTROLL http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Technology/Comp uters/Question422921.html as I disagreed with his critique of Regcure, but I had obviously been 'Google-Juiced' into believing the reports and although I havent had any problems I have now discarded it

AVG detects trojan viruses very well, and contains them for you. This is just from the free edition. My friends scan once a week, and never have any problems.

Thanks taperface, I have the free AVG which updates regulary. I am beginning to think that Regcure deliberately planted this message so that I would purchase their product.
All other scans from different companies have failed to find this 'Trojan'?
I have decided not to worry about it as Microsoft scan has speeded things up.

I was after a quick fix for my pc after i kept getting runtime errors and did a search. Not the way i usually approach things but it was giving me grief. Did a search and found regcureand downloaded with some anticipation that it could be bugged and non to my surprise it was. Found over 700 errors and said it would heal one. others would be fixed if registered version was purchased. Now i am getting runtime errors on just about everything rather than just the original problem. I suspect ther are over 700 errors now, 699 at least of them from the trusty guys at regcure. SCAM SCAM SCAM!!!! Be warned!!!!
