Max Registry Cleaner 6.0.0.032 Online Manual

The contents of the Windows registry grow every time you use your computer as the registry stores all user- and application-related information. Over time, a lot of information in the registry becomes cluttered with obsolete information. The information is physically fragmented on the hard disk as well. As your registry grows, it can degrade the performance of the entire system as it will require more memory to store all information and cause many different software-related problems.

There are several reasons why you might need to repair your registry. Here are just a few:

	Viruses: Many viruses attack through the registry by creating or modifying registry keys. Unless you have a thorough knowledge of your system and registry keys or specific direction from a technical expert on how to search for these infected keys, it is very dangerous to try to edit the registry on your own. Any damage done to the registry at this point would require either a reinstallation of the registry from backup or a reinstallation of Windows. Either way, there will be some information lost.
	Tracking programs: Programs that install themselves through Internet pages and track your Internet usage to transmit data back to their hosts usually have registry keys associated with them. Some have multiple keys, under multiple program names or in multiple folders, within the registry. In order to fully eradicate the program from your computer, you must delete all of its associated registry keys. This can be very tricky.
	Uninstalled programs: If you have recently uninstalled programs without going through the official uninstall program (or if the program did not have an uninstall feature and you deleted it) there may be some keys remaining in the registry. Without removing these keys you may encounter errors, as Windows will try to operate based upon these obsolete keys. In order to fully uninstall the program, you will need to remove the associated keys.
