A question that is asked over and over in many homes is why is my computer slow? Even with excellent anti-virus and malware software applications computers will have many problems as they are used more and more.

Help with slow computers come in many forms. Computer repair and protection is certainly a flourishing industry today. But virus protection is not adequate. Computers become jammed with all kinds of "extra" corrupt files that can slow down and even destroy a computer.

(1) First be sure to take ample safety measures. When you purchase a computer there will be a anti-virus software offered for a trial period for free. But following this initial time you will be asked to upgrade and of course purchase the software usually on an annual basis. One product, Avast anti-virus is highly recommended by many computer techs. The home version is free with just an annual re-registering and posting a new registration code number. It will take only 5 minutes for them to send you an email and then you just copy and paste the code. This is first-rate protection and does a "boot scan" that most other anti-virus programs do not. A boot scan is run before Windows opens on computer startup Avast's boot scan has discovered scores of viruses that most other anti-virus programs have not found. This is important because of all the damage viruses do to computers.

(2) Get rid of software and programs that are not being used. Pretty much all computers have programs included when they are new that are not considered necessary or even wanted by the buyer. Quite a few of these are clever ways to sell their products. To remove unused programs go to the control panel and then to Programs and Features. There just select a program and un-install it. But check this out and be cautious . If you uninstall the incorrect program you may disable something in your PC you do not want to. The listing does give you the day the program was last used but the names are not always understandable enough to be sure accurately what you are about to remove. So research may be wise.

(3) And now do a registry cleaning. The best and securest way to clean up and repair your computer is to use a "windows registry" cleaner service. With time and use the registry of any computer will become disorganized and contain errors and duplicates that will make your computer very slow. A defrag and disk cleanup can probably help some but a good quality registry cleaner can remove, repair as well as organize your registry data. There are a lot registry clean-up programs available but there are also many levels of operational performance from each one. You can do a free scan with the majority of these cleaners and see what errors and other issues are found. It will just take a couple of minutes for the scan to tell you whether your computer needs a registry cleaning. It is a secure and simple first step that may save you money and a lot of time.

When researching the top Registry Cleaners for slow computers, you should try to find one that has been tried and tested, offers the free on line scan, that has a great approval score by real customers and is easy to use.
