Description:
PU.Purify scans the computer for errors and invalid registry entries in order to improve system stability. If the user wants to fix these entries he has to activate the program. After closing the main window of the free version a new window opens and remembers the user to get an activation key. The free version is only a trial. However the software offers to fix 15 Windows registry errors if the user provides his email address. A user has to buy a license of the product if he needs the functionality. This software license costs $ 39,95 and is reduced to $ 19,95 when attempting to leave their website (status: January 2017).
