The Windows Registry is a database that stores settings and options for Microsoft
Windows operating systems. The Registry contains information that Windows continually
references during operation, such as profiles for each user, the applications installed
on the computer and the types of documents that each can create, property sheet
settings for folders and application icons, what hardware exists on the system,
and the ports that are being used.
Registry cleaning software is designed to remove duplicate, erroneous
or otherwise unwanted items from the registry of the Windows operating system. Much
of the information that registry cleaners remove is composed of references to files
that no longer exist, commonly encountered after software is uninstalled. Other
items targeted for removal might include configuration settings for malicious software.
Registry cleaning also encompasses the identification and repair of registry settings
that should exist, but have become corrupted or contain errors.
In many cases, however, software that claims to help clean the registry is actually
malware or scareware, a type of malware designed to trick users into purchasing
and downloading useless and/or potentially dangerous software . Another troubling
aspect of registry cleaning is that many vendors aggressively compete with each
other to identify and fix more “errors”, turning your computer into
a turf war. These aggressive registry cleaners have lost sight of how to properly
and safely clean the Windows registry. The result is that many popular registry
cleaners cause more problems than they fix. You’ll also find that they won’t
clean 64-bit registries on 64-bit version of Windows, making them incomplete solutions.
