Default Keeping Registry Clean and Protect From Spyware


Registry spyware is basically spyware that hides itself away inside of
your computer. Basically the registry is the heart of your computer.
Your registry is system registry, it is heart of your computer where
major components of your system reside. The registry keeps track of
your all system files, drivers for your hardware, program installed
and records their behavior and settings. Where as spyware refers to a
broad category of malicious software that has been designed to
intercept or take partial control of the operation of your computer.
Of course, this happens without your consent. Therefore you can see
just how bad registry spyware can be.
You will be able to tell when you have registry spyware. This is
because more than likely your computer will start to have pop-ups that
will tell you that your registry is damaged. More than likely this is
not true. Sometimes the only way to correct this issue is by
formatting your computer drive. Of course, this is a pain and thus you
will probably want to try to do anything and everything possible
before you do this....

SPAM!

Think your Registry needs "cleaning" or "repairing"? Read
