So your computer has been constantly running slow and freezing up. You did your research and figured out that the problem is in its registry. You already know that the best way to get rid of the problem is to clean this massive storehouse. However, the question is, how can you go about the cleaning?

Before answering the question of how to go about the cleaning of your computer registry, let us first know how you should NOT clean it. First, you must not try to fix the registry on your own-- unless you are a computer geek. But even so, it is not highly recommended. You see, your computer registry is a very delicate portion of your machine. Being human, it is very easy to make a wrong move, which could cause bigger problems in your system. One small mistake and you may be forced to reinstall Windows, or worse, you may even have to take your PC to the repair shop and spend loads of money. Even people who know a lot about computers do not gamble with this risk because they know how big the thing at stake is. Supposing that you have all the money to burn and have your computer working back as good as new, would you be willing to be away from it for about two weeks? I don't think so.

The best thing you can do is opt for a professional registry cleaner. This software does all the legwork for you. It will scan your computer for errors and give you a report on them. You will be able see the corrupted files and will let you choose which ones you'd like to dispose. You can also set it to scan your system in the future and ensure that your registry does not become a troublemaker again.
