Registry Cleaning Software

Are you struggling with a sluggish PC? Errors popping up all the time, programs not starting, or worse the blue screen of death? It's possible that you're suffering from registry errors on your PC and you don't even realize it. Your registry files hold a vast amount of information about your computer, its software, and hardware. Everything from file locations, device driver information, and even desktop shortcuts has information in the registry. Over time this area of your computer can become bogged down with old information. Information about programs that have since been un-installed or removed. This extra information can cause windows to hang or freeze when it goes searching for valid info it needs, only to get slowed down and thrown off track due to old files and errors.

The registry cleaning process isn't as technical as you might think. The first step is an initial scan performed by the software looking for items like we described in the previous section. These might be old deleted files, invalid registry keys, or empty lines in your registry. After the complete scan has is done the software then moves onto the repair process. You have two options to repair the troubles that the software found during it's scan. One, you can have the registry cleaning software make the corrections automatically for you. Many first time users select this as their repair method, how ever it can cause more trouble then good. The second alternative to repair the items found during the scan is to manually review each item before it's repaired. While this can take a bit more time, it will ensure that valid registry entries are not deleted during the cleaning process.
