Defragmenting the Hard Disk
When defragmenting, the AVG Drive Defrag module analyzes the hard disk space and
runs defragmentation if necessary. During defragmentation, the disk space is
reorganized by intelligently rearranging the individual blocks of data. This significantly
increases the speed of system startup and the loading times for documents and
programs. AVG Drive Defrag gives you the choice of two different defragmentation
types: one is particularly thorough, the other is particularly quick.

7.2.1. Cleaning the Registry
In this chapter, you will find out how you can use the AVG Registry Cleaner module
to clean the registry and why it is important to do so.
to clean the registry and why it is important to do so.
The registry is the heart of a Windows system. It is where Windows continuously
stores entries (values and keys). In addition, each newly installed program and every
newly connected hardware item is entered in the registry where it records keys and
values. When you start up a program, Windows does not call up this program directly.
Instead it opens the program using a key in the registry, which was created there
when the program was installed. This entry must also be deleted from the registry
when the program is uninstalled since it is no longer required. It is often the case,
however, that Windows does not delete these entries properly, which is why a great
many invalid entries build up over time.

These entries are not just created when programs are installed, but also during many
other tasks. For example, the history list of recently used documents in the Start
menu works using the entries in the registry. These references become invalid when
you move or delete a document. Since Windows does not clean the registry regularly,
we recommend you do it yourself with AVG Registry Cleaner
