A corrupt registry can cause many problems for your computer. The most common way corruption in the registry shows up is by making your computer operate slowly. Though this might sound like an oversimplification, your computer slows down because the corruption in the registry slows down each of the PC's microprocessor operations.

Naturally, this type of computer slowdown is one where the computer seems to get slower with each and every passing day. It is not uncommon, with this type of slowdown, for the computer to get slower and slower and eventually crash, taking with it some important system files.

Some types of Spyware will make your PC act in a similar manner. However, with Spyware, or more accurately stated, Malware infections, it usually comes into your operating system and changes things, dramatically. In other words, with Registry corruption, the effect seems to be cumulative, with Spyware it is very often sudden. Of course, this is a general rule.

The only way to determine if your computer has Spyware or Registry Corruption is to do a scan with a good Spyware Cleaner and then a good Registry cleaner. While Registry Corruption is potentially very dangerous to your computer, Spyware is dangerous in other ways as well.

It is important to note that what everybody calls Spyware really is not Spyware. Spyware is just one of our concerns. To shed some light on that subject, see what Billy Strickland has to say in the following excerpt. It was taken from his informative article, “Your Computer Privacy,” which can be found on this Website.

"Let's first clear up a very common error in terminology. Spyware is one simple form of Malware. Malware is really our most formidable enemy. Spyware is a tool of Malware. So is Adware, Trojans, Keyloggers and other heinous tools thrown at us by these low life forms that use these horrible scripts to invade our privacy. The scripts are Malicious Software Scripts; hence the contraction of Malicious Software, Malware.

This is not to say Spyware is innocuous, even though it is tame when compared to some other forms of Malware. Spyware is out to find what your shopping habits are. Other forms of Malware can follow you right to the Websites you are visiting and take a snapshot of that very page. What if this page was your bank's Website with all your banking information on it? It doesn't take a great imagination for you to suspect what these most ruthless of computer hacking thugs will do with this information, does it?!"

Another complicating factor is that Malware and its friends leave corruption in the registry even after they are long gone. So, this means you can use a Spyware cleaner to get rid of an infection, but it isn't until the registry has been cleaned that you will be totally clear of its effects.

All of this is another way of saying Spyware and Registry Cleaners work in tandem. Though Billy and I may get into a discussion about which is more important, in today's world, both a top Spyware Cleaner and a top Registry Cleaner are needed to keep your computer running smoothly.
