CCleaner 3.03.1366

Rated 40/50 by greyowl at Dec 16, 2008

This app works well. The only feature that is lacking is the cleaning option to "move to recycling bin" in addition to the delete and secure delete options. This would provide another layer of safety in the event that an item was clean that negatively effected the system or if a person changed their mind on the cleaning. After a few days when the system continued to work ok, the recycling bin could be emptied.

After having used it once, you will wonder how you could have ever lived without it. It's fast, reliable and thorough in cleaning any unnecessary files or registry entries. An invaluable piece of software, and easily among the best freeware you can download.

CCleaner is by far the most thorough and efficient disk cleaner I have tested. It is indispensable when installing or uninstalling applications. The registry cleaner is a little weak when compared to others I have tested. On the plus side however, it has proven to be very safe. The add-remove programs tool is very fast compared to the Windows XP tool. Unless you have downloaded the "slim" version be careful not to accidentally install the added Toolbar.

One of the very best at what it does. I think it is a great app, especially since you can download the SLIM version. Please keep up the good work.

No doubt the best cleaner, yet missing some features... -Wipe empty space on Hard disks using many methods ofcourse. -Detection of programs that have been installed after Ccleaner. -Internal updater.

a nice little cleaner that could use a few more options but it's free and what it does, it does very well and Stop complaining about the OPTION of the yahoo toolbar, they have to make money somehow and you DON'T have to install it. Just use the portable version like I do and you wan't even be prompted about yahoo then

One of the very few programs you should almost definitely not miss having installed on your Windows system.

Works great IF your registry does not depend of patches or workarounds from Dell Support to boot up and function, if it does a C Cleaner sees these files as "wrong" for your registry then it will offer to delete them, and like most people, you don't know the difference and say "fix all problems" and there you are, your laptop will not boot up again. It killed my wife's laptop. If your PC has been "fixed" by Dell, do not let this into your registry, it will take the workarounds away and you work be able to boot back up.

Never tried it

Hey Steve1209 - The wiping of free space takes care of the space from previously deleted files that may not have been overwritten multiple times. It is just an extra security measure that is a great addition to CCleaner!

Very good utility! There is a new option of "Wipe Free Space" Does anyone have a clue what that does for me? Thanks, Steve

Great Software.

Terrific tool - this version takes a bit longer to scan the "system temporary files" but otherwise, no problems.
