Why it is necessary to run a registry scan after you uninstall a program

When you remove a program using the Add or Remove Programs utility, not all of the program’s entries in the registry are automatically removed. These leftover and now defunct registry entries cause your registry to grow unwarrantedly and may eventually corrupt it.

A corrupt registry, in turn, may inflict serious damage on your computer, and in the worst cases, may render some software or even the operating system useless. To ensure that your registry remains compact and only stores relevant information, it becomes absolutely essential that you remove leftover entries after you uninstall a program.

The best and easiest way to do this is by running a registry scan using a reliable registry cleaning product.

What to do if you are unable to uninstall Quark or any other software using Add or Remove Programs
