Let me start by saying nowadays, if you do not have a brand new computer, then they run slower and slower. This is where Registry Easy comes in. Looking on the internet, there are hundreds, if not thousands of people commenting and complaining about their computer that is running slowly. After running anti-spywares and anti-viruses, they have been unable to get the computer back to its former operating speed. Many people are unaware that by installing and un-installing programs on a regular basis just clutters up the Windows registry. Resulting in a slower and a badly performing computer, this ultimately leads to extreme annoyance, when you have to sit for 10 minutes while a program loads. Leading to conflicts between programs and meaning it takes longer for the computer to boot. This is a problem that can be fixed by Registry Easy with just a couple of clicks, you can even scan your computer for free.

But firstly, you may be asking what exactly the Registry is? Well this article will explain that and show how effective and brilliant Registry Easy is!

The trouble with the Registry is that over time, as your computer ages and you use it more and more, your Registry becomes corrupt and not functioning properly. This is because your computer’s registry is a database where not only things like different settings on your computer are kept but also specific settings for each user, each program, and each piece of hardware. Generally, as you would expect, over time the Registry tends to grow – whether it be by installing new software or even a new user, more and more registry entries are created and added to the already massive registry database. So, the slower computer performance your suffering from is caused by the fact that whenever your computer tries to do something, find something or install something, then it has to search the entire database to find a particular entry – meaning more time for you sitting in front of your computer doing absolutely nothing. Not only does installing a program post registry entries, resulting in a slower computer that is a shadow of its former self. But un-installing programs and users also stops the registry working efficiently because there will be loads of registry entries left behind, meaning your computer is running slowly because you un-installed a program and did not clear the related entries. Saying that, can you guess what happens when you move files around on your computer? Yep, you have guessed it, more and more unnecessary registry entries. So as your computer ages gracefully, your registry is becoming more and more corrupt and full, to the point where your computer freezes or crashes.

Let us face it, trying to manually repair and clean your registry would require multiple computing PHD’s, and not only that but it would take weeks, if not months to repair and clean your registry, and let us not forget, if you do it manually you could delete a vital registry entry for you computer to function leading to unnecessary repair bills and extra expense!

So, let us get back to Registry Easy, this innovative program automates the whole process into a few minutes. By this I mean, it scans your computer, searches for errors and fixes them with a click of the mouse. It reduces the registry by clearing any unnecessary entries meaning an overall increase in the speed of your computer. Not only does it clear any unnecessary entries, it also seeks out the corrupt entries vital for the running of your computer and fixes them resulting in no more annoying computer freezing or crashes. It speeds up both startup and shutdown – meaning you can be on your computer quicker than ever before.

Do not be fooled by all the products on the market claiming to fix your registry, some of them are just completely spy-ware and virus packed – slowing your computer down even further. Registry Easy is different from any other product I have ever seen – which is why I chose it to repair my registry and why I am writing this article, to let as many people know about this as possible so that people save time and money.

Registry Easy is different from any other registry cleaner I have ever seen. It incorporates a start-up inspector. Whenever programs are automatically launched on start-up it slows down the computer, and as you would expect, every piece of software you have on your computer would like to run on start-up, so that you can use the product quickly and effectively. However, all these additional unnecessary automatic start-ups slow your computer down dramatically because when the run on start-up, they do not necessarily have to open the program but run in the background, using vital system resources that are slowing your computer down – even if its not being used. Registry Easy’s start-up inspection function identifies all of your start-up programs, which you can disable or even delete. For me, I allow msn and internet explorer amongst other things, like anti-virus software, to automatically open on start up because I use those programs most often, but let us face it, who needs Quicktime or any other program to run on start-up when you can simply click on the program when and where you need it. Registry Easy also includes multiple tools to help free up more space on your computer. Features include a junk file cleaner – deleting unnecessary junk files from your computer, a very intelligent duplicate file cleaner – which, from the name I am sure you have guessed that it clears any duplicate registry entries and also a feature that I found very useful, the Add/Remove program feature – which enabled me to see all the programs I had on my computer, identify the ones used least and then delete them.

I speak from experience, I have allowed Registry Easy clean my computer on a few occasions now, and believe me – it does not disappoint. I could find no flaw or fault with it. It did exactly as it says, simply and effectively. They even offer a free computer scan to show you all the faults in your registry and how much faster your computer could be with all these unnecessary entries removed, and corrupt files fixed!

In a nutshell, Registry Easy is a program that will speed up your computer, fix and prevent computer error, and free up more space. It does this mainly by cleaning and repairing your computer’s registry. What is the registry, you may ask? This article will explain that, and explain why Registry Easy is so effective.

Your computer’s registry is essentially a database where all the different settings on your computer are kept-configurations for each user, each program, and each piece of hardware. The trouble is that over time, the registry tends to become messy and corrupted just through everyday use.

First, the registry tends to grow over time. Every time new software is installed, a new user is added, or a new piece of hardware is installed, more registry entries, or keys, are added, creating a huge registry database. The problem with this is that every time your computer tries to find something, it has to sift through the entire database to find the entry it’s looking for, creating longer search times and, ultimately, slower computer performance.

Second, whenever a piece of software or hardware is uninstalled, there may be lots of registry keys left behind, doing nothing but taking up space. As you move files around on your computer, registry keys linked to specific file locations may become broken, or orphaned. Finally, the longer you use your computer, the greater chance that some registry entries may become corrupted. These types of registry problems lead to computer errors, freezes, and crashes.

Cleaning and repairing your registry manually would require a PHD in computer science and several weeks or months of spare time. What Registry Easy does is automate this process down to a few minutes. It does a deep, thorough scan of your computer’s registry, looking for errors-corrupted keys, missing links, blank entries, obsolete keys, etc. It then gives you the option to clean and repair the registry with a few clicks of your mouse. Cleaning unused and obsolete entries reduces the size of the registry, make your computer seek times faster, and speeds up performance. Repairing corrupted registry entries fixes common computer errors, such as freeze ups, system crashes, startup and shutdown errors, and many more. Even better, regularly scanning your registry with Registry Easy can prevent such errors from happening again.

Registry Easy is competing in a crowded market. There are literally hundreds of registry cleaning software programs available on the internet, some free and some for a price. What makes Registry Easy stand out is that it incorporates several extra tools to help speed up your computer. For example, it includes a Startup Inspector.

Whenever you turn on your PC, some programs are automatically launched, which slows it down. Over time, however, a lot of software sets itself to start when your PC does, whether you want it to or not. These extra startup programs make your computer take longer to boot up, and then run constantly in the background, using system resources and slowing down your computer, even when not being used. Registry Easy’s Startup Inspector allows you to identifying all your startup programs and disable (or even delete) things you don’t really need. You might want to keep your antivirus startup program, for example, but do you really need Adobe Reader or Quicktime to start every time?

Registry Easy also includes several tools to help free up more space on your computer. A Junk File Cleaner scans your PC for unnecessary files taking up space on your PC and deletes them. A Duplicate File Cleaner does the same thing for Duplicate Files. Finally, an Add/Remove Programs Manager lets you identify and uninstall software you no longer need.

Registy Easy does have a few drawbacks. It is only available for Windows, so Mac and Linux users are out of luck. It also does not have a registry defragmentation tool, which compacts your registry once all the junk entries have been deleted, making even faster. Overall, though, Registry Easy is a robust, efficient program that would be a good investment for anyone whose computer is slow or suffering from chronic system errors.

RegCure Registry Optimizer and Registry Easy are probably the most popular Windows Registry Cleaners around today. They offer roughly the same features, and the price is nearly the same. Which means users have a hard time choosing between the two.

We decided to test both RegCure and Registry Easy, and make our findings publicly available in this in-depth review. Read on to discover which Registry Repair program is best for you, before you part with your hard-earned cash.

What hardware and OS we used to test the above programs

We did our tests on a nice modern laptop, a Lenovo ThinkPad T61, with an Intel® Core(TM)2 Duo 2.60GHz CPU. However, this machine had been running with Windows Vista Ultimate for over a year at the time of testing, and was getting as slow as molasses due to hundreds of Registry errors. A perfect testing environment for a Registry Cleaner to prove its worth!

Which one scans the Registry deep enough to uncover all problems?

Both RegCure or Registry Easy have a deep auto-scan mode. This mode is used by default. In auto-scan mode, both programs scan your Registry for every known problem, and display the scan results in an easy-to-understand way. We ran both programs in automatic mode to see which one does a better job at finding all the Registry problems on this laptop.

Here’s the results: RegCure found 849 errors, and Registry Easy found 867. An impressive number that certainly explains the sluggish laptop’s performance. No big difference between the two programs, however, Registry Easy did score a little better.

Which Registry Cleaner is faster to complete the scan?

Another thing you should keep in mind when choosing the best Registry Cleaner is speed of operation. You don’t want to sit there all day watching the software at work, do you? So we timed the auto-scan speed of both RegCure and Registry Easy, and here’s the test results.

RegCure turns out to be blazingly fast. For roughly the same number of errors, it completed the scan in a little under two minutes, while Registry Easy took a full three minutes to complete the process. In this test, RegCure certainly wins. For many people, though, a one minute difference is no big deal.

Which of the two fixes Registry errors better?

Now this one was a bit tough. As crucial as this test was, at first we couldn’t think of a way to test the success rate at which each program repairs Registry errors. After all, if one of them fixed all errors, what would be left for the other to fix?

However, the solution turned out to be simple: As both programs include a full Registry backup capability, we backed up our Registry first, ran Registry Easy, told it to fix all errors, noted the result, restored the Registry to the “before” state, then ran RegCure, and compared.

Here’s the results: Out of 867 errors that Registry Easy found, it managed to fix them all, scoring a perfect 100% in fixing invalid entries. RegCure, however, needs a bit of improvement in this department. Out of 849 errors it identified, it managed to fix 827, demonstrating a 97% success ratio in repairing registry problems. To be fair, though, on a second take RegCure did fix the remaining 22 errors.

So which one is actually better?

This is largely a matter of personal preference. However, Registry Easy did score a little better in our tests. Plus, Registry Easy offers a nice History Sweeper option which cleans your Registry of all PC activity records, protecting your privacy. RegCure doesn’t offer a similar feature, however, its speed may be more important to some users.

We will continue to test both RegCure Registry Optimizer and Registry Easy in different configurations, and publish the results, so that users can make an informed decision when choosing the best Registry Cleaner.

With the increase in spyware infections online, the common question you hear is, “how do I protect my computer from spyware and adware?” Many are so desperate that they will do anything just to find and kill spyware from their computers.

Having experienced some infection sometime ago and knowing the trouble I went through searching online for information on “how to protect my computer from spyware and adware problems” and finally finding a way round this problem I’ve put this article together to help others who are experiencing this problem.

But first, what really is Spyware?

When I was faced with the problem the first thing I did, before thinking of seeking a way to find and kill the spyware or even asking, “how do I protect my computer from spyware and adware”, was to seek and understand what spyware and adware really are. And this is what I found out:

Adware: Software that is installed into your computer without proper notification or permission and alters your browser and/or security settings, with the aim of displaying advertising without actually monitoring the user.

Spyware: Any program that gets into your computer without permission and hides in the background while it makes unwanted changes to your user experience with the aim of monitoring your computer activities surreptitiously and transmits that information over the internet.

Besides, I learnt that Spyware is generally not designed to damage your computer. The damage it does is more a by-product of its main mission, which is to serve you targeted advertisements or make your browser display certain sites or search results.

These malicious programs are designed to silently bypass firewalls and anti-virus software without the user’s knowledge. This is why in most cases it is not easy to find and kill spyware with anti-virus software. Fortunately however, unlike viruses and worms, spyware programs do not usually self-replicate. But once embedded in a computer, a spyware can wreak havoc on the system’s performance while gathering your personal information.

So where do spyware come from?

To my chagrin I discovered that I, like many people asking how do I protect my computer from spyware, was somehow responsible for allowing spyware into my computer. Most times this comes from downloading Freeware programs.

You may not know it but by downloading a freeware advert-supported program, you’ve allowed spyware or adware into your PC!

Typically, spyware originates in three ways. These are:

1. The first and most common way is when the user installs it, like the example above. In this scenario, spyware is embedded, attached, or bundled with a freeware or shareware program without the user’s knowledge. Once downloaded, the spyware program goes to work collecting data for the spyware author’s personal use or to sell to a third-party.

2. Another way that spyware can access your computer is by tricking you into manipulating the security features designed to prevent any unwanted installations. For example, a pop-up modeled after a standard Windows dialog box, may appear on your screen. The message may ask you if you would like to optimize your internet access. It provides yes or no answer buttons, but, no matter which button you push, a download containing the spyware program will commence.

3. Finally, some spyware applications infect a system by attacking security holes in the Web browser or other software. When the user navigates a webpage controlled by a spyware author, the page contains code designed to attack the browser, and force the installation of the spyware program.

You may be wondering now, how can I protect my computer from spyware considering all these? The truth is there are a couple things you can do to prevent spyware from infecting your computer system.

a. First, invest in a reliable commercial anti-spyware program. There are several currently on the market including stand alone software packages. Other options provide the anti-spyware software as part of an anti-virus package. Anti-spyware programs can combat spyware by providing real-time protection, scanning, and removal of any found spyware software.

b. The Internet Explorer (IE) is often a contributor to the spyware problem because spyware programs like to attach themselves to its functionality. Spyware enjoys penetrating the IE’s weaknesses. Because of this, many users have switched to non-IE browsers. However, if you prefer to stick with Internet Explorer, be sure to update the security patches regularly, and only download programs from reputable sources. This will help reduce your chances of a spyware infiltration.

c. Beware of many P2P file-sharing programs. They are notorious for downloads that possess spyware programs. The user of a downloadable program should pay extra attention to the accompanying licensing agreement. Often the software publisher will warn the user that a spyware program will be installed along with the requested program. Unfortunately, we do not always take the time to read the fine print. Some agreements may provide special “opt-out” boxes that the user can click to stop the spyware from being included in the download. Be sure to review the document before signing off on the download.

But if all these fails?

Finally, if your computer has been infected with a large number of spyware programs, the only solution you may have is backing up your data, and performing a complete reinstall of the operating system.

If you’ve been inundated with the spyware menace and having been asking, “how do I protect my computer from spyware and adware” or “how do I find and kill spyware”, I hope these suggestions will be of help to you.
