What is the Windows Registry and why is it so important to clean it?
The Windows Registry is a hierarchical database containing information necessary to configure your computer system. Without it Windows would not function. Registry information is constantly referenced during operations so your system can handle such things as user logins, preferences, what types of documents each application can create, what hardware and software exists on the system and which ports are being used. Whenever you make changes to such things as control panel settings, system policies, installed software and file associations, those changes are updated in the registry.
Editing the registry directly can cause serious system problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Nonetheless, regular maintenance of the registry is still required because errors can be introduced whenever you install and uninstall programs, hardware and drivers. Also, when the registry becomes oversized due to lack of maintenance, it becomes inefficient and your computer's performance and stablility will degrade. So in order to maintain your registry it's important to use a software tool that safeguards it against the possibility of errors. A registry cleaner is a program that allows you to safely maintain your registry entries and fix any errors without creating new ones.
Viruses, Malware, Adware, Spyware and Browser Hijackers pose a severe threat for causing registry errors because they are usually treacherous by nature. If you've been infected by any of these pests in the past then it's important to clean your registry and remove any remnant components that may still be causing you problems.
If registry errors are not fixed by regular maintenance the result can be system crashes, stalls and severe slow downs. If you're seeing lots of Windows errors like dll/runtime/rundll32 errors or even the dreaded blue screen of death, then repairing your registry can be a good place to start. Place a higher priority on maintaining your registry whether your computer is for business or pleasure, and you'll end up with a far superior computer experience by doing so.
