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.
Without looking at the computer I can’t give a definite answer but I can tell anybody who has lost his/her computer speed about a situation I see very often that could be the cause of it. What I am referring to is the improper use or under-use of three very important computer maintenance tools.
Spyware Is Enemy Number One
Tool number one is the spyware cleaner. This is the one tool most people already have. This is good because spyware cleaners are an absolutely necessary computer maintenance tool. The only problem is there are a lot of second rate and free ones out there and these tend to leave security holes a malicious script writer could drive an information-stealing PC truck right through.
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?
Registry Corruption Is Everywhere
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.
There is no doubt about it; registry corruption can slow a computer down. I have seen registry corruption slow down computers so much they would not start up! For this reason it is not practical to go about your computer business these days without a registry cleaner. Registry cleaners are not very expensive and you can get a free scan to see if you have any corruption before you commit to buying one.
Driver Scanners, They Are Amazing!
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!
