Someone whose computer had been slowing down to the point of exasperation called me at my repair shop and asked me for my advice. Right away I had to inquire as to whether or not she had been making use of a virus cleaner.
It is actually possible to have a virus scanner up and running on your computer and not be sure you do because a lot of the job of virus protection is setup at the factory and the customer buys the computer with a virus cleaner preinstalled.
Other types of malware like spyware and adware steal a computers resources which will slow down a computer as well. However, this womans virus scanner was one that would take care of spyware as well.
So, I told her where to go online to get a free registry scan. Unbelievably, she said her friend, who was actually a customer of mine, had recommended a registry scan with my personal favorite registry scanner and it turned up 838 incidents of registry corruption. However, she didnt purchase the license to repair the registry corruption because it was too expensive.
Actually, I dont know the end of the story but I do know this: registry corruption causes more computer speed problems than anything else I have ever seen and I have been in the computer repair business a long time. I also know registry cleaners just arent that expensive.
You just cant let registry corruption accumulate on your hard drive because before long it will cause the operating system to shut down. After this happens, you may be looking at a reinstall.
Using a good registry cleaner wont assure you the computer will never have a big problem, but geez! Why hurry a catastrophic failure along? Then again, why anyone would put up with a really slow computer when a registry cleaning will make it fast again, I have no Idea.
Anyway, I had made my recommendation to this woman and it really is up to her what she wants to do with her money and her computer. So, I politely wished her the best and then hung up the phone.
If you ever get in a situation where your computer has a boatload of registry corruption and for one reason or another the time isnt right to clean it out, dont run the computer. A severely corrupt registry could cause the computers operating system to have a catastrophic failure and it could happen in the blink of an eye.
