Hello all,

I've been using a FREE registry cleaner called "Esuing Registry Cleaner" for about 2 months now, and it is very effective in cleaning your registry, and alot more effective than most paid versions out there.

The website: http://www.esuing.com doesn't have any banners or ads, so going there your blocker programs won't have any problems with that site. Also, when I downloaded and installed it, nothing is transmitted back to their server. So, from what I've reviewed about this program, it's very clean.

Also, if you have any other registry programs already (which you should have at least one), you can run yours 1st, then reboot, then run the Esuing, and you'll see that it'll on average pick up hundreds and even thousands of invalid entries. It has a registry backup function, where you can backup your registry before putting it to work, and it has a registry restore, so you can restore your registry after cleaning it, if you should have to.

I thought my registry cleaners were all doing a great job until I tried this one. It's small too, and not filled with anything you don't need. Below is a log of what it installed on my computer.:



This program had great reviews when I saw it on a website reviewing softwer, and that's why I tried it. And best of all, it's FREE.

Tip:
After you 1st use any and all registry cleaners you do have, reboot, then after you use Esuing, reboot again. After rebooting from using Esuing, it's best to run it one more time, because I found out that when it cleans invalid entries from your registry, it exposes other invalid entries because their "parent" file was removed. I always run mine twice. The 1st run, it found over 1,600 invalid entries, then on the second run, it found about 400 invalid entries. So run it at least twice to get a good clean.

Below is the download page which explains this program in great detail:
http://www.eusing.com/free_registry_cleane...try_cleaner.htm

From my post above, I used it on my other computer and it found 970 invalid entries on the 1st run, and on the 2nd run, it found 29 invalid. I'm going to do another run until it finds nothing at all.

That's why it's important to run it more than once, simply because as I looked at the results and carefully looked at the keys/values, I observed this:

a. After using the Add/Remove to uninstall programs, some residue of the programs are left behind, and other removal tools are necessary to completely remove many programs and the registry keys and values they leave behind.
b. Doing a search and removal using other programs to edit the the registry, they not only completely remove all the occurences of the keys/values found, but they also leave a signiture of what program used it, and the program name is pointed out, and the values and keys you looked for, using that other program. Some registry programs will leave a footprint that you were in the registry AND what you searched and (or) edited/deleted. This program showed me my searches and removals of entries.
c. After uninstalling programs and removing whatever keys and values you want removed, you still need another tool to make sure that those entries are indeed gone. I see many that I physically made sure were gone, are infact still listed (well, not anymore, thanks to this program).
d. Removing a key/value from the registry can and does infact expose other related keys/values that are related to what you just removed, (using this program). I haven't seen any other program to show any other references of a registry entry I deleted, even when I search again. This program does find them.

My point is that I've observed that registry keys/values that get deleted can and does expose other keys/entries related to that deleted entry. So even if a program deltes what you want it to delete, it seems very possible that the "child" files are still resident and will only get exposed if you're using the right software to expose it.

This software also proved to me that whenever you do a registry cleaning, you will need to do it more than just once, but with another software or a software that can clean it out, and after rebooting, find more. The one's I've used would clean out the registry, but when I run them again, they wouldn't find anything else, but this one does. This is a real registry program that I highly recommend. Again, use whatever you already have, as many times as you like, and then use this one. See what the other programs are missing.

that url leads to some annuity site...

I don't understand. What do you mean by "annuity" site? Are you saying people shouldn't use it?

Ok, I just updated my PG2 and when I clicked on the link above, it blocks me from entering by blocking:

Layered Technologies, Inc 732.36.150.250:80

My PG never blocked it before, but now it is, and I'm also using ProtoWall, and it isn't blocking it at all.

Here's what I think is, and has been going on, and we all should come up with a way to let other companies know about it.

a. Many legitimaste software companies out there are renting server space to host their products, but they don't have any idea that the ip they are on is on a blocked list somewhere.
b. Many advertising/banner companies are purposely sponsoring companies, not telling them that they are on a banned list.
c. Many companies never think to check references (ip abuse) of a sponsor or a paid advertiser.

I've used plenty of great software out there and I know that many of them that don't know that they are running people away from their products because they are hosted on known and (or) abusive ip addresses, I'm sure they would move to a safer ip address.

If someone is willing to draft up a letter/memo that can be sent out, I have a special blog software that blogs my blogs out to millions within 2 days or so, and at the same time places that post at the top of Google within the same amount of time. All without meat-tags or any optimization. I use it for my client/partner, and I'd be glad to blog this out, which WILL reach millions of viewers in a matter of 2 days or so. The tool I use to blog is no regular blog method. I've paid around $300 for it, and it works great.

But that's what the problem really is. People just are not aware that they are being associated with know offenders. I'm sure that if the word gets out, and ask the companies to either come here for more information and or link them to the software here, and other sources, I'm certain we can help make a difference to companies being informed about the ip blocking. I'd bet over 65%+ have never even heard of it, and don't even know it either.


Again, I do see that that website is on a blocked list, like many others, but it made me think that maybe they don't know much about the actual ip address they're on. Let's inform them. I'm sure they'll make great contributions to Bluetack once they see their profits going up and up.

What r00ted is saying is that your link doesn't go to any registry cleaning software site..



it goes to this :



Might want to make the actual download link a bit clearer.

And no, I don't want to be associated with any mass blogging, for any reasons whatsoever.


Registry cleaners have their good and bad points and some are better than others. As long as you can verify what they are removing beforehand is valid for removal then there should be no problems. I prefer manual registry cleaning most of the time after uninstalling a program.

The best way to keep a system clean is to use a installation monitor like total uninstall to remove everything a program puts on to the system, as long as you have monitored the actuall installation to begin with.

A few layered tech ranges are in level 1 , for various p2p reasons , they are full range blocks, but level 1 isn't really meant for web surfing protection just p2p.

I see. The link is http://www.eusing.com

and.

http://www.eusing.com/free_registry_cleane...try_cleaner.htm

I mis-spelled the link. My bad. That will definitely send anyone to the wrong site, and that's why I was getting blocked from it.


As far as the mass blogging,, probably how alot of the word gets out quicker, like for example. When the Sony rootkit was discovered, when that got blogged out, that reached millions within 2 days of that actual posting. Look how fast that got to people and how quickly people were able to recoupe from it, although Sony took a hit for it too, but it reached millions so fast, and FREE too.

I was thinking like this:

A Newsletter is printed about "Why Software Companies May Be Losing Customers", something to that effect, and it goes on to a story about people are now using protection on their computers to make their browsing more pleaseant, and they have found that many of their usual places are on a list of known bad ip's/websites, for whatever reason. Let websites/ip owners be able to check their ip and see if it's on a blocked list. If it is, then they can see from the Lists Descriptions of what the list means, they can see that their ip/website may be causing them more harm than good. Many companies would change isp's if they know they are being blocked. As a matter of fact, most people would.

The more companies or web site owners know about sites like this, the better of the Internet will be. The same newsletter can also tell people of the risk of their privacy being invaded but not having an ip blocker.

All of the ip's on blocked lists is because they've been reported as doing something offensive, but if that ip owner can convince the blocked list organizer that there is a mistake, then that ip owner should also agree to simply get a clean ip address, while keeping that old one still on the blocked list, and if that new ip gets reported again, then that company/website will be on a permanent banned list.

Some time ago I had others banners on my sites that could have driven traffic from me, but when learning about ip blocking lists and so forth, most of those banners I wouldn't dare put on my own website(s) as of this day. But that came with learning about those bad ip's. If there was a blocked list online that lists all lists from all sources, that would help drive people back to these sites. It's not that they have bad software or their product/services are bad, it's just that your programs are blocking something coming from their site, which could be anything, including banners and scripts. But the question is always, why did that ip address get reported. And that's where the logs come in at.

Have anyone actually contacted anyone on the blocked lists, and explained to them that they are on a nation-wide blocked list, and it may be hurting their online status? I would. I would even go as far as having their offense listed, and if they still claims it's a mistake (it very well could be one too) charge them $5 or so per ip to remove the block as long as they submit a written statement that there is a mistake and they can assure the public that it won't happen again. As long as people are taking logs, the offenders will be caught. I would give them a benefit of the doubt..... ONLY if they sign an agreement. And there are those that get on the list that will never get off.

I believe this would be a good idea to pursue. I see many great sites that are on blocked lists for a reason or another, but would like to know the exact offence, if possible, or how many times an ip gets reported before it goes on a banned list. Many ip's that are on blocked lists, if no one is telling them they're being blocked by millions of people, how can they know to rectify the problem?

Websites and ip's get jacked all the time and used without the owners knowing about it.
