Found this great tool on TechRepublic and as I always value their opinion and recommendations I decided to give it a try. Registry bloat is a leading cause of a slow unresponsive system. Finding a quality tool that properly analyses and is capable of cleaning the registry without causing other problems is not as easy as one might think. I am very cautious about using programs that can cause my computer to become a brick in an attempt to make it run better. Before I knew what the registry was I tried quite a few of these types of programs and found myself spending a long weekend rebuilding my system because the software bricked my computer.

The Downside to purchasing Joomla! Extensions & Templates

Most of the extensions and templates that we use on our Joomla! websites requires a subscription in one form or another. We just want something that works, works well and is not prone to hackers and is compatible with the rest of our site. So we fork out the extra money for a quality application to use. This is all great for the duration of the subscription but can break you down over the life of the website.

If you are like so many others and are not ready to cave in and buy a new computer then you are opening up yourself to infections from bot-related malicious software. That is according to the just released Microsoft Security Intelligence Report that covers the first half of 2010.
