Put regcure and scam into google see what you get. Regcure is one of those
terrible pieces of software which claim to do one thing and do something
else. Anything it actually repairs is more likely a coincidence. They are
usually installed following a muppet clicking on a popup telling them their
security is vulnerable click here to fix it.

I ahve some magic beans for sale, if you want i can get my nigerian auntie
to sell them to you.

But does anyone have an answer to my actual question please? I'm sure
that Regcure is every bit as useless as many people say. But I haven't
seen a single solid piece of objective evidence (in contrast to idle
rumour and speculation) that it is either a virus or a trojan or any
other sort of malware.

In which case, why does Spybot report Regfix.exe as a threat?
