What is Making My Computer Slow?

OK so your computer is slowing down and you don't know why. Well it could be that you have a nasty virus hidden on your computer somewhere in which case I would recommend downloading or buying yourself a good quality Virus Scanner, AVG Free Edition is a great bit of software that's completely free and well worth getting. You could also try Spy-bot Search and Destroy which is another free program that's very up to date and brilliant at what it does, make sure to run the scan in Administrator mode so you can delete what you find. There is also a few simple things you can try with no hassle at all. Located on the start menu under system tools is Disk Defragment and Disk Clean-up, both of which can help improve the speed of your computer. If you have never run Disk Defragment before then expect it to take a while as it is designed to tidy your entire hard-drive.

So that's a few of the simpler things you can try, if you are still having trouble with the speed of your computer then the chances are a Registry Cleaner will help you out a lot. Basically all a Reg Cleaner will do is scan through you entire Registry and get rid of all the unwanted junk on your hard-drive. As you ask your computer to do something it has to scan your system to locate the necessary files, if all those files are untidy and messy then your system will struggle and as a result will slow down.

Most of the good Registry Cleaners on the market also come with a bundle of other fantastic features like file recovery and Internet optimizer to name but a few. Getting one of the better packages can be very beneficial as it can help so many aspects of your system, however as there is hundreds of products out there it can be really confusing to find the genuine article.

Because I work with computers for a living I decided to review a bunch of different Registry Cleaners so I knew which was the best to recommend to my customers. I ended up reading about and testing around 14 different Cleaners and have comprised a list of what I think is the top 5 on the market.
