ParetoLogic RegCure Review

RegCure Registry Cleaner is a very simple registry cleaner to use. It really does a great job of cleaning the registry. The things I like about it is the scheduled maintenance as well as the startup manager.

If you are looking to speed up your PC, you need a high quality registry cleaner to keep your computer fresh. The registry gets crowded after awhile, so using RegCure will help prevent having your freeze on you.

When you first get started with RegCure Registry Cleaner, you will want to a manual cleansing of the registry. That way you can get acquainted with the power behind this little cleaner. Afterwards, setting the scheduling function makes it totally automated.

The startup manager is a really invaluable function because of the fact you can control what loads on your computer. For example, I hate it when programs like quicktime or winzip get loaded on my system tray. I'm not using quicktime or winzip ALL the time, so what's the point of having it running in the background?

Anyway, sorry for the rambling, but I advise that if you are interested in at least trying out the program, you should use the free scan to try it out. This product will help you optimize your system and help prevent registry issues in the future.

Why is my computer so slow?
This question can be answered so many ways because of the fact there are many reasons why a computer may run slow. A computer can be slow because of one of these reasons or a combination of several.

Anyway, here are 16 reasons why a computer is slow:
  1. CPU (Central Processing Unit) is too old or too slow
  2. Too many programs running in the foreground
  3. Conversely, too many programs running in the background
  4. One or two applications are doing highly intensive processing
  5. Uninstalled programs still co-existing
  6. Registry corruption
  7. File corruption
  8. Applications are freezing
  9. Hard drive fragmentation
  10. Hard drive failure (bad sectors)
  11. Insufficient security software
  12. Not enough RAM or memory
  13. Virtual memory is set too low
  14. Temp files from Windows XP and Internet browsing
  15. Driver issues
