How To Remove Registry Elite - (Uninstall Guide)
Registry Elite is a software application that claims to be able to scan for and detect Windows Registry problems. Then it claims to be able to fix all the problems it detects. The emphasis here falls on the word “claims.” Registry Cleaner cannot do any of the things it brags about. It could never detect any problems that affect the Windows Registry. And it could never fix any such problems, should they be genuine.
So why does Registry Cleaner go through the trouble of claiming it can detect and fix Windows Registry problems? It does this because it is a rogue registry cleaner and that’s how rogue registry cleaners operate. First they trick you into thinking they can identify Windows Registry problems, fix Windows Registry problems, make your computer boot up and run faster, and so on. Then, once installed, will pretend to scan your system and find all sorts of problems. Relax, these problems are not legitimate, it’s just the rogue’s way of trying to scam you. After the rogue says it has found all sorts of problems, it also says that it can fix them all – but only if you pay for a license. See how this is a scam? You are asked to pay for a fake registry cleaner because you’ve been tricked into thinking your computer is plagued by some phony problems.

Step 1. If you have a printer, make sure to print out this tutorial. If you do not have a printer, save this tutorial, go out to a copy center and print it out there. If you do not have a printer and do not want to go out, then use the pen and paper method: grab a pen and a piece of paper and write down the instruction presented in the steps below. In the process of eliminating Registry Elite from your machine you will need to shut down the browser. And since this will also shut down the tutorial, you need to know what you should do next.
Step 2. You will have to install Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware. In this regard you need to download the software’s setup executable. Just click this link and save the .exe file on your computer (preferably on your desktop).
Step 3. Double click the Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware setup executable. It should be on the desktop under the name mbam-setup. This will launch the installation process. If you already know how to install a piece of software, proceed to step 4. If you do not know how to do this, we’ll walk you though it all:
- The Select Setup Language window should have popped up. By default, the language in which the software will be installed is set to English, but you can change this. The software provides support for 30+ languages. After selecting the language of your choice, click OK. It would be best to just leave it set to English though.
- The Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware Setup Wizard will now popup. Just click Next.
- You will be presented with the License Agreement. Click I accept the agreement and then click Next. If you do not accept the agreement you will not be able to continue.
- Keep clicking Next until you get to the Ready to install window. Now click Install. After the installation process completes click Finish. Do not uncheck the boxes next to Update Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware or Launch Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware.
Step 4. The Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware application will launch automatically. The Perform quick scan option should be checked by default – if it isn’t then check it and then click Scan. You are well advised to close all running apps before clicking scan. This will ensure the scan for Registry Elite will complete swiftly.
Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware will start scanning your files for signs of Registry Elite. This may take a while, so be patient. It all depends on how powerful your computer is and how many files Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware has to scan.
When the scan for Registry Elite is complete you will be presented with a notification box. Click OK to close the notification box and go to the main Scanner screen. Click Show Results and you will be presented with a list of all the infected files Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware has detected.
Step 5. Click Remove Selected and Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware will remove all the infected files it has detected. It may be necessary to restart your computer in order to remove some of these files. After Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware is done removing all the infected files, it will open Notepad and present the scan log to you. You can review the log at your leisure – save it If you want.
Step 6. Close Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware and you’re done. No traces of Registry Elite should be left on your computer.
