Speed up your PC -How to Repair a Slow PC Using a Registry Cleaners

Why does a PC slow down?

The short and simple answer is: because it can't run fastWell I know this is a silly answer and doesn't advance you muchSeriously now, computers are much like most machines: they lose speed when they are overloadedTypically, what happens is that your PC is running, at any one time, more applications that it can actually afford toAs a consequence, it either slows down, on even stops working altogetherAnother reason computers slow down is the absence of a key file it needs in order to run an applicationThe PC will keep looking for the missing file, hoping to find itThe file may be buried under loads of other stuff or may simply be corrupt or missing (deleted by you or by some bug you picked on the internet) .

How do you speed up your PC?

In order to speed up your PC, you need to know what causes the PC to slow downThe one frequent cause, in fact more often than not, is a bad registry (more about registries later)Another reason PCs slow down is the presence of a bugThe straightforward solution here is to go out and get yourself a decent anti-virusMost people who have complained of slow computer problem have seen their problem go away by cleaning up their PC registryIf you know what you're doing (and if you got lots of spare time), you can do it manuallyBut if, like most of us, you'll do with a bit of help, you can run out and get a registry utility to clean it up and speed up your PC.

What options do you have?

There are hundreds of registry cleaners available out there, both free and commercialThey all claim to basically do the same thing: clean up your registry and speed up your PCBut like with anything in life, registry cleaners are not equalA few are brilliant, some are okay, many are simply useless while others are downright dangerous.

I don't count calls from clients who'd downloaded some free registry cleaner on some support website, and found themselves not with a faster PC, but with one that wasn't working at allReason is, the newly downloaded utility would simply go out and clean up the entire registry (clean up as in "removing everything", bad and good registry file)The fact is that all registry cleaners are third party utilities, and the risk still exists that they may get confused and delete useful, vital registry filesSome clean-up utilities are just good at deleting files they aren't supposed to touch.

Here are a few features you should expect from a registry cleaner, before you consider downloading it:

• Does is offer you the option to back up your registry?
• Can you double check the files the registry utility has marked for deletion before it actually deletes them?
• Can you choose between manual and automatic deletion?
• What do other users say?
