The registry is the most important part of your computer. This area is where the computer goes to in order to complete everything you ask of it. Think of the registry as the reference section of the library. You give a command, the computer goes to the registry, gets the instructions on how something needs to be performed, and then does it. But, like a reference section, you need to stay on top of it, or else you will end up with outdated, redundant information that will do nothing but slow down your search. If the search is slowed down, the computer is slowed down. Don't automatically blame the age of your computer or think you have a virus. It more than likely is because your registry needs a little work.
Manually going into the registry is not recommended. Not only are there thousands of entries to go through, you should not be in there unless you are a very advanced computer user and know exactly what you are doing. If you don't, you could end up damaging your computer. So how on earth do you fix your registry so your computer is running efficiently? Simple. Download a registry scanner.
Registry scanners look through the registry and will find anything that shouldn't be there. Every time you add a program to your computer, the registry grows. Sometimes this entry no longer is needed due to an update or removing the program. The scanner will find it. Once the registry scanner has isolated the lines that are not needed, the program will fix your registry by getting rid of the mess. The less there is to go through, the faster the computer will go. So don't equate speed with age. It may just be that the computer's reference section needs a little bit of housekeeping.
