While running Windows and common applications, your computer is also silently
operating a vast number of tasks in the background and behind the scenes. These
"invisible" tasks or processes often reduce the processing power of your
computer consuming large amounts of memory. Booting time becomes longer and
performance degrades to the point where your computer becomes extremely
sluggish. Other background processes pose a direct security threat that will
disrupt or cause critical damage to your system. Reports show that these harmful
background processes like spyware, viruses and worms infect 90% of computers
with an internet connection. Registry Booster, how does
it work? User Group Relations -
