The Truth About Registry Cleaners
Registry cleaners
are available in ever growing numbers and they range in price from free to hundreds
of dollars. They all make bold claims about finding and fixing errors with your
Windows registry and optimizing your computer to run like new. The reality is
that users of these registry cleaners have reported such varying experiences
as "it fixed hundreds of problems and made my computer run like new" to the
other extreme of "it did more harm than good and my computer is in a right mess now".
So why is cleaning your registry so important? The
Windows registry
is at the heart of everything that your computer does. It is a vast collection of
instructions, commands and resource links that every program and piece of hardware
installed on your computer relies upon. Every time a program or piece of hardware is
installed or removed from your computer, a registry entry is made (they are rarely
removed properly). Over time these entries can get corrupted and will cause your
computer to slow down. This is because it has to find alternative routes to open
some programs or execute certain commands as it has no clear instruction in the
registry. Even brand new computers can have registry errors.
What you have to understand is that not all registry cleaners are created equal.
There are some very good products out there that will perform a thorough scan of
your Windows registry and will report back to you any errors or problems that it
finds (if there are any) totally free of charge. If you want to get rid of the
problems then you have to pay for the software. High quality registry cleaners
that will do a quality job of scanning, fixing, optimizing and protecting your
computer in the future are available for under $40, which is a small price to pay
for this kind of protection.
