Author: My computer has been super slow lately and it’s getting really frustrating. I’ve been told that I need to install a registry cleaner. Would that really help? Where can I download a FREE registry cleaner from the net that also works effectively?

Besides using a registry cleaner, you should also scan your computer for Viruses/Spyware/Adware, and defragment your computer (Assuming you have Windows XP: Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Defragmenter).
It can really help speed many processes if its really bloated, but most noticably startup.
ANY registry cleaner may cause programs that are not installed according to microsoft standards to not work, so create a system restore point prior to cleaning the reg.
Here’s a free cleaner, the one I use without problems:
