Do You Have A Slow Running Computer?

Your computer was running fine, and now all of a sudden it is terrible
slow. Sometimes the program just locks up, and will not work. Other
times, the entire computer freezes. You know, the point where you must
hold the power button down for 5 seconds to shut the machine off. Or,
if you are running earlier versions of Windows, the infamous Blue
Screen of Death appears. All of these are signs something is wrong
with the internals of the computer, and this is causing you to have a
slow computer.
Think back, and see if you can remember installing something or
uninstalling something since the computer starting acting funny. Most
likely, you did. It might have even been something as subtle as an
update for your computer, or a greeting card, or even a screen saver.
As a side note, screen savers are one of the worst pieces of software
carrying spyware with it. If you do download something like this, use
your spyware remover and remove the junk that came with it. Back to
topic.
We all install and uninstall software. The problem with doing this is
it can mess up your registry files. The registry files are a set of
operational files which tell the computer how to run and operate the
computers software programs and hardware. When you install something
new, it might write over an existing registry file. This will then
cause the previous software not to work right, hence the freezing of
the computer....

Oh yeah, and we all want help from a Chinese Google Grouper, yet another
boob that can't even figure out how to properly access newsgroups,
someone that pretends they provide computer service but can't even
manage to have their own site.

The people you are endeavouring to help could well end up with a computer
which doesn't work at all if they follow your advice to use a registry
cleaner.

Quit spamming your useless crap..

Probably peddling hostageware, the kind of registry cleaners that people
install and that then hijacks and borks their computers and that they
can't remove unless they buy the useless junk. These spam adverts are
aimed at the clueless and gullible who think that the registry needs
cleaning! The registry does not need to be cleaned and running cleaners
as part of a regular maintenance routine is a bad idea. Those who feel
the need to clean things should go in the attic and clean the cobwebs
off the rafters, it will be better for their computer than using
worthless cleaners, at least cleaning cobwebs in the attic won't bork
their computers!

no intelligence here.

spam posts only make people hungry for more.

spam posts do not count toward mvp credentials.

real mvp know how to get posts removed.
