By now, just about every computer user has a virus scanner setup on his or her computer. In fact, those who dont have one and are running Windows XP or Vista are getting constant reminders from their OS that they better get virus protection soon. This is good because it only takes one virus to put your computer out of business!

Another thing we computer owners always have to be on the lookout for is spyware. Even though some virus cleaners deal with some spyware, it is important to know you are keeping all spyware off your hard drive even if it takes installing a separate spyware cleaner to do it. The reason this is so important is spyware not only is an affront to your computers health, it can steal your banking information and passwords!

Corruption in the Registry Will Slow Down Your Computer

Then there is registry corruption. Registry corruption causes more computer slowdown problems than spyware and viruses do these days. Registry corruption, unlike viruses and spyware, is not a malicious program. It is the result of files being deleted, changed and moved. No person or program says, Lets go corrupt this guys registry. Rather, registry corruption happens naturally when a computer is being used. So, it is impossible to avoid.

Registry corruption is probably less dangerous than spyware because registry corruption only affects your operating system while spyware can steal your identity. Still, when registry corruption accumulates it can cause your operating system to stop working altogether. Then, you would need a reformat and reinstall. This is bad enough, especially if you dont have a complete backup of your files!

If there is a significant amount of corruption present in the registry, it would be wise to clean it out quickly because registry corruption tends to build upon itself. The result could be a complete operating system failure. Of course an operating system failure means a complete system and file reinstall would be necessary. In the meantime, your computer will just keep getting slower and slower and slower.
