is a registry cleaner program a good investment for a slow computer?

Hello.

My computer is slow and late, most of the time when I go on facebook the freez the computer for 10-15 seconds, then the page comes on. The more problems I have on facebook is when I go to the games (the game will load completely and before it begins, it closes and recharge again.) Sometimes it's just the game freez and I click on "Home" to leave the game and I have to return the game to continue playing). Now, the problem is not only on Facebook, I use it as an example. I searched on google and I want to know if a registry cleaner might help. Some websites you says it's good, some sites say it's a scam most registers are useless. I'm running on Windows Vista business and I have Kaspersky Lab Internet Security 2013, and I have my computer, run a defrag every week. If I need a registry, I saw a couple of sites for this and the other says it's best 'RegClean Pro' and another said 'RegZooka.  Also is there a Web site that is 'kosher' and reliable software. There are SO many scams.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Yves.

Absolutely not. Most are scams.

In any case, those who are not is dangerous. There is no central reference to the registry. Each program or driver, including Windows, it uses as it sees fit. Recommended by microsoft parts are specified by a particular product with no coordination team. Noone has knowledge of a deep understanding of the tens of thousands of programs.

The unused parts of the registry do not affect the registry.

  • Disk defragmentation repeated after you install a Registry Cleaner program.

    Original title: Disk Defragmenter

    Hello.

    I use Windows XP Prof and IE 8.

    "After" install a Registry Cleaner program, a disk defragmentation task was executed, and he indicated that the volume needs to be defragmented. Subsequently, the task of disk defragmentation was performed again and he said that 'always' volume must be defragmented even if there is nothing to defragment (no red line showing).

    'Before' installing the program Registry Cleaner, disk defragmentation task was performed and she would declare that the volume needs to be defragmented. Subsequently, the task of disk defragmentation was performed again and he said that the volume was already defragmented (no red line showing).

    Why the registry cleaner would lead the program Defragmenter to 'think' that he needs to defragment even after this has been done (and no red line showing)?

    Thanks in advance.

    I will not bore to 'clear all' regularly because I can see the red error icon and the yellow warning icon clearly by scroll.

    Bottom line: Defrag works so I will continue to "analyze" and defragment every day when there are red lines in the graph, but not worthwhile to defragment a second time, unless the red lines still appear.

    Thank you 'a lot' to work on this issue with me - It is much appreciated.

    Your registry cleaner allows you to make a backup? If so, use it.
    If this is not the case, do a system restore to the date before the execution of the registry
    cleaner.

  • "All programs" is empty after running Registry Cleaner

    After running registry cleaning software, I lost the ability to see all my programs when I click on "All programs"... property is (empty)... same problem when I click on "Favorites"... resulting (blank)... suggestions?

    It would be good to know how the system restore has failed.

    Any registry cleaner worthy of the name should back up the registry or at least to save the made changes so that you could "undo" them.  Try to run to the top and look for an option "Cancel".

    Another possible option would be to create a new user on your system.  When a new user is created, the default desktop items are regenerated and this could be a way to get back them.

    Other than that, you may have to re-create your icons to find programs in the folder c:\Program Files\ and recreate the shortcuts on your desktop and start menu.

    The register is an essential part of Windows and should not be messed with except if you know enough to back up the registry before you do anything about him, and restore the registry when things go wrong.
