Remember how your computer used to be fast and responsive? But now, everything is a crawl and it takes forever to open the browser, check emails, or even do basic word editing, etc.
Well, the details are quite technical and boring for most of you, but, in a nutshell, Microsoft Windows uses what's know as the Registry for keeping track of all those programs you have installed on your computer. Over time, lots and lots of entries are added to this registry. Every time you install a new peace of software, some Internet search tool for your browser, and even rogue applications, known as malware, sometimes create these entries in your registry without you even knowing it. A lot of these programs, especially the so called Shareware or Freeware variety, are not the most robust when it comes to 'playing nice' - Especially after you uninstall them. So, even after you remove these programs from your system, they leave traces of their registry entries behind.
There are many tools out there that deal with these types of issues rather effectively. One such a tool that has worked very well for me is called ErrorFix.
You can Download ErrorFix and see what it can do for you.
This tool is even certified for Windows Vista, which further illustrates that this is a serious tool - not just some quick and dirty software that will do more harm than good.
In most cases, you will realize a marked difference in performance and reliability of your computer after you let these 'Cleaners' remove lost links and unnecessary entries from your Windows Registry. Who knows, maybe in these tough times you don't really need to buy a new computer.
For the curious: If you want to get a feel for what's in this registry, you can type Regedit.exe from the Windows/Start/Run command prompt. You will see a window displaying what looks like a lot of folders and sub folders with various, often cryptic, names. DO NOT EDIT OR DELETE any of these entries if you don't know what you're doing. Let the tool do it for you!
Cheers!
