In a previous topic we’ve offered ten free alternatives to clean your PC from viruses. Besides having your computer virus-free, there’s another important aspect to consider if you want to have a smooth-running computer, and that is the registry database of your operating system (Windows). A windows registry is a hierarchical database which stores configuration settings and options that are important to the Windows operating system. Within this database you will find settings for various operations and applications such as the Windows’ kernel, SAM, device drivers, user interface, and third party apps. What makes cleaning your registry important is that this database can get overcrowded with information, thus dramatically slowing down your computer. We therefore offer you ten free PC registry cleaners to keep you computer up and running. However, word of advice: be very careful when you use these tools, as you can damage your operating system.
