There are certainly better registry cleaners that this program, faster, smaller footprint and more accurate. The reality is that unless one is installing and deleting a LOT of programs there's rarely the need for a registry cleaner to be constantly running in the background. Windows 7 and 8 are stuffed full of a lot of things MS put into them "by design" that slow devices and machines down and it's name is Aero. (AKA useless eye candy.)

Wondering (Expert)•over a year ago

My computer has been getting slower and slower with that PCfix speed hanging around trying to get me to buy it.. The longer it's here, the slower my computer is becoming. Is the PC fixspeed the problem? And how did it get into my computer?
