When it comes to computers, I like them zippy and responsive. It is just super annoying to have to wait and it is strange how a few seconds can seem like an eternity on a computer. A new computer is not always the answer. Just like your home, it is always a good thing to do some housekeeping to keep your computer running. Programs you have uninstalled leaving orphan entries in your registry, orphan files and other problems are among the list of things that can slow your computer down to a crawl.

ZoneAlarm has a free scanner to help you get rid of registry gunk among other things. Visit their pick up page and click on the Start Free Scan button to download the free scanner.
