Having a clean registry is one of the best things that you can do for your computer. A computer has many thousands of different files on it, however, without the registry files which are the core of the computer, nothing will work. Making sure your registry is clean of any useless files and corrupted files will help improve your computers performance. There are many different programs on the market that promise to clean all the problems out of your computer. While many of them do a great job at removing large infections, they usually just scan the surface, leaving you at risk of a computer nightmare. Purchasing the right program to clean your registry does take a bit of research. For example, you will want to purchase a registry cleaning program that has multiple methods of backing up your registry. Having a backup of your registry is important in case your registry becomes corrupted. Some registry programs that are on the market will only tell you to backup your registry, and not give you any further instructions. In order to do a manual backup of the registry, you need to go into the windows start menu, then into the run command box, then type in "regedit". Hit enter, go up to file, then select export. Make sure you put the registry backup on a removable media, such as a CD, DVD, or USB stick. This will allow you to restore the registry in case the computer or you damages it further along in the process. Now that you have backed up your registry, you will need to continue with the registry scan. This process usually takes less than half an hour, and will tell you all of the infections, and problems that are in your registry. You should take a careful look at each of the objects that the registry cleaning program lists, and determine whether it is really an infection, or something that you know belongs in the registry. If your registry scan finds no objects in the first scan, make sure you have selected all the options for the scan. Some scans allow you to scan less than the entire registry, which can lead many people to believe their computer is fine, when it is really infected worse than ever. Once you have verified that you have found all the infections that are in the computer, remove them. Always restart your computer after you have removed problems, as the registry needs to do a clean boot to finish the removal of these problems. Always backing up your registry before you begin any type of registry clean is the most important thing you can do. Selecting all the options for the scan of your registry the first time will save you plenty of extra time later on. Do not purchase a registry cleaning program just because it looks like it will work. You should purchase a registry cleaner that has been proven to remove every single problematic object.
