What is a registry cleaner and why is there such a big hype about them when people are talking about trying to make their computers faster? A registry is an area on your computer that is like a database that stores all of the configurations for your computers operating system and all of the programs and applications that are on your computer.

This in time will cause a lot of unused registry’s to build up on your computer and can slow it down. [...]
What exactly is spyware? Spyware is a form of malware that is used to gain valuable knowledge on a user, without them knowing that you are obtaining this information. This valuable knowledge can be anything from passwords and usernames to bank account and credit card information.

Malware on the other hand is software that also installs itself on your computer without you knowing but its role is more or less to damage your computer. [...]

If you have had your computer for a while now chances are that it has slowed down and this must really frustrate you. But exactly why did it slow down? It all starts with the computers operating system. The operating systems is build to be as quickly and as efficiently as possible, but unfortunately after a long period of time that really doesn’t happen to be the case.

Why is your computer slow? Well the answer to that question is beyond the scope of this text but I will tell you that it has to do with your computer building up junk in many different areas in time. The more of these areas that you clean up the faster your computer will be – it’s that simple. Take a look at registry cleaners – they are designed to clean up all of the junk and inefficiencies that build up in your registry to make it faster. The only problem with registry cleaners is that they focus on one area of your computer which will only give you so much of an advantage while there are many different areas of your computer that need to be cleaned. This is why using registry cleaners really aren’t a complete solution to making your computer faster – they only clean one small area while there are many different areas that need to be either cleaned or tuned for performance.

If you want to make your slow computer faster, then tuning your virtual memory would be a great place to start. You see, your hard drive is that place that your computer stores files like videos, picture etc… Your RAM on the other hand is the place that your computer’s programs work in. Its basically like a temporary working area. It’s a great system, but when your RAM gets full your computer has two choices: it can either tell you that you cannot open any more programs or it can find a new place to be used as the temporary working place. This is where virtual memory comes into play. Virutal memory is space on your computers hard drive that will be used the same way that your computer uses RAM [...]
