Are there programs that can help make my computer faster?
Download any of these Top 3 Registry Cleaners and Improve PC Performance!
Absolutely. The three must-have programs that I recommend to all Windows computer users are an anti-virus program, an anti-spyware program, and a registry cleaner. Each one solves a specific problem that slows your computer down. By solving the problem, you get an immediate boost in speed.
Remove and Block Threats
These days, anti-virus and anti-spyware programs aren’t optional. Any computer that connects to the Internet is at risk for computer viruses and spyware. You’ve likely heard the dangers of these nasties. Not only can they destroy data and steal personal information, they can slow your computer down to a crawl. A single infection can lead to multiple infections as these malicious programs multiply and invite all of their buddies to the party on your computer. The more of these bugs you have, the slower your PC becomes.

Evil Spyware is Evolving
Think of malware as tiny programs on your computer. Whenever a program runs, it requires processing power and memory. These programs also communicate back and forth with their evil masters so they also require bandwidth. Now, imagine thousands of programs all running in the background without your knowledge gobbling up system resources and Internet connection speed. By detecting and removing each of these programs, not only will you button up security breaches, you will also improve your computer’s processing power, memory, and bandwidth requirements.
Registry Cleaning is Helpful
Registry cleaning is one of the best ways to boost your computer’s performance. Many registry cleaning programs are often called PC tune-up tools, optimizers, or performance boosters rather than the utilitarian sounding “cleaning tool.” These products do clean. They also tune-up, optimize, and boost performance as a result.
Registry cleaning tools work by making it safe to edit the Windows registry of unnecessary entries. Don’t worry. You won’t have to do any editing or hard thinking. They work automatically. All you need to do is hit a start button.
Choose a reputable and Safe Registry Tool (we recommend Regcure)
The scanner scans your registry for invalid entries and repairs or removes them. For example, if the scanner finds an entry referencing a piece of hardware that is no longer found on the system, the entry is removed. Why send Windows on a wild goose chase in search of something that no longer exists? The scanner also looks at known entries in its constantly updated database and compares it to your results. Known registry issues are often repairable such as entries made to the registry by malicious programs.
By cleaning the registry, you’ll solve more than performance issues. You’ll also solve potentially thousands of computer errors that all begin directly in the system registry.
Getting more performance out of your computer is indeed possible with free scanner software. Stock up on the basics and you’ll optimize your system as well as protect and repair it!

In a recent request from Microsoft Support, I was asked to install an antispyware program called Superantispyware (it is available as freeware and appears to work well as such). I found this surprising from a corporation as large as it is to suggest another company’s software. To me this can only mean they do not have anything that compares. What do you think.

Hi Len,
Microsoft has its own antispyware program, Windows Defender which comes preinstalled on Windows Vista and is available for free download to Windows XP Service Pack 2 and above users.

Here’s a review of Superantispyware by PCMag.com. It’s a lukewarm review, but at least it appears to be a legitimate program and not some damaging imposter:
