The trouble is you do not know to what extent your computer is damaged and this makes you worry in case you have a virus. A lot of the trouble is from the registry but how do you fix registry errors?
Here is some of the possible cause of common computer problems
The computer runs a lot slower than it used to.
Your system often crashes or sometimes just freezes.
Start-up of your computer seems to be taking longer and longer.
Error messages keep appearing. Things like ‘Cannot Locate Driver' or ‘Invalid Registry key’.
Your screen turns blue and is full of error messages.
It seems that you can hardly get online and the pages load very slowly.
You cannot open some of your games and other programs.
The problems are caused by some of your computer components- Here are some of them
The computer has hardware failure. There are problems with the computers drivers. There are configuration problems or internal errors Problems with the registry. Some applications are incompatible. Computer infected by virus
The problems could be a combination of any or all of the above and any one of them can make matters further complicated and difficult to remedy. Things change in your computer the more you use it and a lot of the problems occur because of faults of errors in your registry although this may not be the full cause.
When you run into the problems mentioned above (and you will) there are easy steps you can take to fix registry errors and here are three of them.
1- Pinpoint and eliminate the cause of problems
First you will have to eliminate all possible cause by pinpointing the problem in a systematic way to find out the exact cause. Make sure that your computer is cleared of junk and temporary files and that your settings are properly configured, including your internet settings. Some of the junk to remove includes worthless program downloads and downloads for games. With this done run your anti-virus software and also use it to scan for adware and spyware. This should eliminate outside factors and malicious programs that could have infected your computer. Your compute is open and vulnerable to virus‘s adware and spyware if you use the internet quite often. Online activities that can be affected include opening your mail, playing video games online, watching online videos, downloading music, or even just surfing the internet.
Good anti-virus software should find and eliminate any dangerous programs hiding within your system.
Of course this does not fix registry errors but you have to eliminate these things first. If this does not turn up anything then it is most probable that the problems are coming from a corrupt registry.
2- You can now do a search online to make sure the possible culprit is registry errors.
You have now eliminated some possible causes and so you must now suspect that the registry is the cause of your computer errors. When any problems appear write down exactly what they say, go onto the internet and search somewhere like Google for the exact error message displayed on your computer. In all probability there will be umpteen results. Search through them all and you will usually see a common thread with the problems that points to it being a registry error. You can take this as confirmation that you need to fix registry errors within your computer.
3- Run a free computer scan from registry repair software
Registry cleaner software is specially designed for checking and fixing registry errors. Many of the best reputable and reliable software will allow you to have a free scan to check if there are indeed any errors on your computer. To check and repair your own registry is both risky and long winded. It entails doing a manual back up of your computer and then going through each entry in the registry and editing it, a painstaking job. And that is if you know what you are doing. If you do not know how to do it properly the results could be a lot of time consuming work that if not done correctly will lead to damage of the system and an irretrievable loss of critical data.
The best advice is not to touch you registry but instead search for software online that can fix registry errors.

I found out the hard way about registry errors. I tried to speed up my computer following an e-book, one of the fixes was to alter some settings in my registry. I crashed my computer, had to hire an expert who also could not fix the problem and ended up having to reinstall windows loosing six months of work in the process.
Its much easier to use registry repair tools to fix the problem.
