Defragmenting your Registry – Is it necessary?












Your registry is basically the central nervous system of your computer. It stores everything you do, everywhere you go and everything you install as an entry. This massive database can become cluttered, corrupt or bloated over time and cause your system to run slow, lock up and even shut down.

You should defrag your system regularly to avoid any issues, but if you do see warning signs they should not be ignored and be given the proper attention immediately. Defragment will increase your storage and create a more organized database system and reduce data processing time. You will notice that your system is running faster, programs run smoother and overall your system performs better.

The registry can be more difficult to deal with, there is no simple tool to clean it out, you have to download a registry cleaner or try to do it manually line for line. Cleaning your registry manually is not recommended as it creates a risk of altering a program or even your operating system to a level that it is unstable or unworkable.

If you encountered Malware such as Spyware, Adware, Trojans or any viruses your registry may store them even if you think they have been deleted. This malicious software can create havoc on your system and may even cause it to stop working all together.

So, using the Defrag tool at least once a week will help to maintain your system.
