CCleaner is a freeware system optimization, privacy and cleaning tool. It removes unused files from your system - allowing Windows to run faster and freeing up valuable hard disk space. It also cleans traces of your online activities such as your Internet history. Additionally it contains a fully featured registry cleaner. But the best part is that it's fast (normally taking less than a second to run) and contains NO Spyware or Adware.

Another example of a great piece of free software.

Again... a must have.

Never any problems out of this one. See a new feature was added, where you can delete old system restore points. Better know what you are doing before attempting to do such a thing. Still, one of the best software on the market, bar none.

Ouch! CCleaner really botched up my system! Do not use the registry cleaner unless you know exactly what all of the files are. I had to reinstall my OS because of this program!

This application is the definition of a 5 star program. Pretty much the first non-MS thing that goes on any computer I get asked to "look" at. I wish there was more support for swIron (a chrome derivative).

I put this on every Windows machine I work on. (That would be in the hundreds.) I have yet to find it cause any problems at all. The latest version has a selective System Restore point removal tool...very nice! I do un-installs from within this program, then run the registry cleaner to remove remnants the uninstalled program's uninstaller didn't remove. I'm addicted to this wonderful utility!

Great as always!

To jenngood: You must work for a competitor of CCleaner because CCleaner is one of the weakest registry cleaners out there, which BTW, makes it one of the safest ones also. Your statement of having to reload your OS because of CCleaner is a little far fetched for me. I understand that it is possible but also highly unlikely. This is great software and I use it at least 10 times a day to clean up the "crap".

I was wondering when someone would come out with selective restore point deletion. Figures, CCleaner.

a must have in a window operating environment. This is a must have if you are running windows plain and simple!

Going downhill & getting slower, the last build crashed IE on several occasions, I've started using the paid for R-Wipe & Clean, a great program. Hopefully normal service will be resumed shortly. And yes I did contribute.

v2.19.901 -------------------------------------------- - Fixed bug in Firefox introduced in build 900. They've gotten a little sloppy in the past 6 months.

If ya ran into problems then go to piriform.com and find CCleaner forum and post your problems there , quite weird that it could ruin Skype on some systems :(

"The registry cleaner, however, is so weak it is almost useless. Of course that makes it very safe and it can be trusted to do no harm, but I would really like to see that part of the program strengthened while still maintaining that safety and trustworthyness." There is no benefit to cleaning the registry. ccleaner has screwed up several other products' installs in an attempt to do so (I can think of skype and logitech software off the top of my head.) Ran into the compatibility view issue recently, annoying. Product seems to have slowed significantly with the last 3-4 months worth of updates.

The best piece of (free) clean-up software out there, I did have problems a couple of builds back but it now seems that was a bug connected with Firefox. 10 Stars.

I love it, it really is a must have, however.. I have been waiting for along time for the developer to add "wipe empty space" option and he finally did, I think it should be more attached tool than an option, like a popup tool with user friendly interface, right now its just another option in ccleaner and its disabled by default.

I had to go to skype forums to see the resolution, not ccleaner's forums.
