The Slow Computer Virus Myth

March 7th, 2009 Posted in Registry Cleaner Articles

First of, if you don’t have a Anti Virus installed I do recommend you to install one. Because, even if the problem I’m about to describe is not always related to a virus it do from time to time really very well be.

Let’s get down to the problem. What it comes down to is that it’s not always vile viruses spreading through your computer that causing your computer to run slow, fooling us into the slow computer virus myth. What it might as well be is Windows itself and it’s underdeveloped procedures to handle broken, faulty and obsolete entries in the registry.

What happens is that through all your daily, weekly and yearly use there is a constant buildup of entries that in the end will bring your system to it’s knees.

Even a small buildup of these kind of entries will force your computer to run slow. Instead of focusing on it’s main tasks, that is support you, it will iterate through these entries again again and again, trying to locate the faulty or non existing addresses in the system that the entries point towards.

Slow computer!

Since these kind of activity’s by default has main priority in the Windows core system other applications like Firefox, Winamp, Itunes or any other non system application will suffer, having a smaller amount of system resources to share among themselves. And since we we all will use them on a daily basis we will in just a short while notices the great decline in performance, hampering our daily tasks and chores.

So, while it very well be a virus, there is also the chance that it might be the above mentioned problem. What to do then?

I suggest that you first install a Anti Virus solution if you dont have one. Next you should choose a registry cleaner that can search through and identify all the bad entries.
