Softpedia Editor's Review for CCleaner
|
A system optimization tool used by millions across the globe
Written by Bogdan Popa on January 20th, 2012
When it comes to keeping one's computer clean, it is advisable to rely on dedicate software so as to ensure greater PC performance and get more storage space on the hard disks. CCleaner is a renowned tool for removing unnecessary data with a few mouse clicks.
It’s very easy to install CCleaner as it only takes a few seconds before all files are successfully copied. After that, a user-friendly interface brings into focus the main functions right from the first window: Cleaner, Registry, Tools and Options.
One of the advantages of CCleaner is that it works very fast and, above all, it is efficient in removing temporary files and data processed by multiple browsers as well as other applications.
Furthermore, it can delete other system files that might slow down the computer, such as memory dumps and Windows log files, all with a single click.
The Registry fixer can repair issues found in the Windows Registry, thus speeding up the operating system and prevent problems that might occur when launching certain applications.
The application also comprises some other tools meant to help users boost computer performance. The program uninstaller has the power to remove apps just like the dedicated Windows tool, the startup controller allows users to choose the programs that run at startup, the System Restore feature is useful in case something goes wrong, while the drive wiper can securely erase the content of a disk.
On the other hand, one can also configure CCleaner to exclude specific files and folders from scan, so as to make sure that important data is not accidentally erased.
All in all, CCleaner is probably the best one can get when it comes to a freebie able to clean up a computer and it definitely deserves attention from all those who value their privacy.  Read an in-depth analysis in our professional review for CCleaner
