For some reason, there seems to be a cottage industry developing which is all about making registry cleaners seem useless or even worse, a waist of money. Why there are people out there telling stories about the evils of cleaning computer registries, I just don't know.
In this article, I will make a case in favor of registry cleaners and tell why I truly believe every PC owner should be using one of these programs on a regular basis and how I have come to this conclusion. I will also point out how letting corruption build up in the registry could contribute to the demise of a computer.
You will read no technical jargon here. This is all about my business which is keeping home computers running the way they did when they were first taken out of the box. In other words, I am a computer technician and so, I will be talking from that perspective.
Customer Satisfaction
An engineer can sit in a lab and pour over theoretical computer behavior if he or she would like. However, there is one statistic an engineer will never discover. That is the thousands, yes thousands of satisfied customers who have thanked me for either properly cleaning their computers' registries or in many cases, explaining to them the proper way to use a good commercial registry cleaner.
There is absolutely no doubt about it! Making sure your computer's registry is free of corruption is a necessary part of its general maintenance, and unless you're a certified Microsoft technician, only a registry cleaner is able to handle that function. Maybe a few years ago a computer operator could get away without scanning and repairing a registry, but not today.
Windows XP and Vista develop registry corruption routinely. This corruption is not the result of misuse. It occurs from normal use and if it is not taken care of it will slow down your computer, sometimes to a crawl! There are many other maladies a corrupt registry will cause. Amongst these maladies are computer errors and crashes.
No Hypotheses, But a Way of Life
My livelihood is repairing computers. I've seen computers that were running so slowly they were taking 10 minutes to load a simple Web page and these computers were spyware and virus free. The owner did nothing wrong that would cause the PC to behave this way. Still, after using a good registry cleaner the computer ran great. I can't tell you how many times I've seen this has happen!
Don't pay any attention to those who are demeaning the use of registry cleaners. They obviously haven't run into the same situations I have. Probably, they have never repaired a home computer in their lives!
Finally, registry scans are free. So, if you find you don't have registry corruption, you don't have to deal with a registry cleaner. However, if you do have registry corruption and you have a computer that is not functioning well. This corruption is probably the problem! At this point you really need to get that registry cleaned. I don't care what anybody else says!
