Fix Registry Errors - Do Not Let Spyware Hide in Your Registry


By David S Marshall

Are you getting messages on your screen every time you start your computer telling you that you have registry errors you need to fix. Before you click on any of these messages read them carefully.

They may not be produced by windows but by some spyware telling you to install something to repair the error, when there is no error there.

Only the other day I had someone with this problem and when they clicked to fix the problem it installed spyware on their computer, which produced pop ups all over their screen and eventually corrupted their windows start up files when they tried to fix it. Leaving them needing to reinstall windows.

If your computer is running slowly and keeps crashing or rebooting itself this is a sign that you may have a genuine problem with your registry. This may be caused by spyware or registry corruption or both.

If junk software is installed the worst it does is to make annoying pop ups appear on your screen every few minutes. These at worst are an annoyance. If spyware is the cause of your problem though it is a different story. This not only produces pop ups but installs silently without you knowing it and can steal all you passwords, credit card information and other confidential information without knowing about it.

The easiest way to discover quickly if there is anything in the registry that shouldn't be there or if other files have been altered or added in windows is to run a scan on your computer and check it.

If your computer is running slow or reporting registry errors protect your computer and your data and run a free scan now.
