Sometimes, you will experience a slowdown in your personal computer. Sometimes your computer will hang. Sometimes it will freeze. When this happens, know that the cause of these computer program malfunctions is because of errors that have entered the system. To fix your PC, what you need is a registry cleaner.

More likely than not, the errors and subsequent slowdown are due to stored files in your computer registry. These will have accumulated in the computer database over time until the files become too big for your computer to handle. What a registry cleaner will do is scan these stored files for possible spyware and viruses and any unwanted files. All these files will then be listed by the scanner, after the scan. From this list, you can manually choose which ones you want to be permanently rid of.

Registry cleaners are a kind of software that is designed for just such a purpose. They can be bought online or at a brick-and-mortar software store. You download the software into your PC and follow the instructions for scanning and cleaning. As soon as you have cleaned your computer registry using these, you will be sure to experience an improvement in your PC's performance. Programs will run faster. Your computer will stop hanging when you are using it. Annoying pop-ups and adware will disappear.

Considering the scope of its function, a registry cleaner is surprisingly easy to use. Here are a few tips for performing a registry scanning and cleaning:

1. Read the instructions and tool kits before performing a registry repair

2. Back up your programs to avoid losing valuable data

3. Do a registry scan and clean of your computer every once in a while

4. Install anti-virus software

It is easy but oftentimes neglected by PC owners. Remember to take good care of your PC by practicing proper maintenance, and you will have fewer problems and frustrations with its performance.
