Other CCleaner?

Hi All

Well my comp is back on track since the recent crash and burn and I've been looking for some freeware that was highly rated. I came across CCleaner that looks like the only decent system optimisation software I've ever seen.

I just wanted to know your thoughts on it and whether i should avoid it or not.

Thanks

Essential imo.

Some of the other Piriform stuff is pretty good too.

 

+1 for CCleaner
Awesome software, use it all the time.

 

It's on all the computers I touch! Except work, probably why its so slow.

Def recommend it, but its not a swiss army knife, sensible browsing and file management is still essential. That is in my opinion!

 

piriform are generally good at making quality software
have a look at defraggler and recuva as well

 

I like their Speccy program more than CPU-Z

 

It's a fine program, but don't expect any performance boost. It's just to keep your computer tidy at the press of a button or two.

 

a few things i use:

firefox with no script, to stop bad things getting installed in the first place.
ccleaner
spybot search and destroy
hi-jack this
esset nod anti-virus and firewall

common sense

But to answer you questions i use ccleaner never had a problem, just make sure you set up exclusions for some cookie's you want to keep.

Basic settings should be good enough, and always backup your register if you plan on editing it.

 

I also use CCleaner for the past year or so. Highly recommended!

 

Its worth the download. Keeps your system clean of all the windows temp files

 

And a lot more.
Manage your start up menu, uninstall programs, clean your registry, system restore, drive wiper and more. About the only thing it doesn't do is make you a nice cup of tea.

 

Agreed, I put it on every computer I build for people. Keeps files tidy, very good, small program.

 

Good little program this and saved me loads of time

 

+1 for CCleaner here too

 

Ya man CCleaner is an awesome piece of software.

 

I use this too.. Cleans the C out of your system.

 

I like a lot of piriforms software. Most of there software is install on all of my computers

 

Yes ccleaner is definitely worth downloading. It can help with your start-up processes as well as keeping the hard disk and directory tidy.
