The question I am asked most is, “Why has my computer slowed down so much?” While I can’t give an absolute fact based answer until I see the computer, I can make an educated guess. That guess is the people asking the question are not using all the resources available to them to keep their computers fast.

The question I am asked most is, “Why has my computer slowed down so much?” While I can’t give an absolute fact based answer until I see the computer, I can make an educated guess. That guess is the people asking the question are not using all the resources available to them to keep their computers fast.
In this article, I will try to give a thorough answer to not only this question, but also the more important follow up question, “How can I get this lost speed back?” The short answer is you need the right tools to help you keep on top of all the elements trying to steal speed from your computer. So, let’s talk about the tool number one, which is something most of us have. Then we will turn our attention to those often overlooked but very important other two.
Spyware Cleaner
One of the maintenance tools, and the most important one, every computer owner should use is a spyware cleaner. Actually, I find most people have this important tool. Good! Keeping spyware out of your computer is step number one to a smoothly running computer. Unfortunately, I find a lot of folks have free or poorly rated spyware cleaners and these will let some spyware in. Some spyware is too much!
Don’t skimp on your spyware cleaner because spyware can steal your identity along with all your passwords and banking information. Slowing your computer down is just one of its fringe benefits. As I have said, most computer owners do have a spyware cleaner and this is a good thing. However, I would like to make one plea; don’t use a free or second rate one. Your personal information is just too important. Isn’t it?
A Corrupt Registry Can Cause Serious Problems
Registry corruption is the result of software being deleted or upgraded or changed in any way. Before you say, “Good, then I won’t delete any software,” consider this: spyware, adware and viruses and the other stuff we refer to, as malware is software. In fact, malware means malicious-software. Of course, we all know the importance of deleting malware from your computer. It positively has to be done, but it does leave registry corruption behind.
Sooner or later, registry corruption will slow a computer down. It happens all the time. Actually, registry corruption can do more harm than simply slowing a computer down. It can cause errors, crashes and even the fatal blue screen crash. The good news is registry cleaners are very reasonably priced and easy to use.
The New Computer Super-Tool, The Driver Scanner
So, there are two of the three necessary computer maintenance tools. You’re forgiven for not yet having the third tool because it is a relatively new innovation. It is the driver scanner. This is a great tool because device drivers need to be upgraded from time to time so they can remain compatible with the Windows operating system, which often upgrades. Of course, most of us never get around to upgrading our drivers and this leads to a slow computer. Using a driver scanner is the antidote to this situation. A good one will perform the job of upgrading your drivers automatically. What a great innovation!
To quickly recap; we know spyware is out to steal information about us and that could lead to our financial ruin. While doing so, it will slow down our computer operation. Registry corruption will also slow down our computers and can cause even worse computer problems. It doesn’t steal our private information; it just wrecks our operation systems. There is no logical way to prevent registry corruption. Device drivers become outdated and this creates a driver mismatches. These mismatches will cause our computers to lose their computer power and this usually results in a slow computer. Put all these things together and look out! Fortunately, we have spyware cleaners, registry cleaners and driver scanners to keep us free of all these problems!
