Editor's review of CCleaner 1.24.180

• 4.0 stars

• "Quick, easy, free"

Although it lacks a few of the bells and whistles found in other PC-cleaning applications, this free program offers more than enough features to make it a worthy download. CCleaner's interface is logically designed and makes it easy to wipe away your tracks from Internet Explorer and Mozilla, various Windows system areas, and some third-party applications.

CCleaner doesn't support a large number of extraneous programs as some competitors do, but it can erase traces from such popular programs as Spybot - Search & Destroy and WinZip. Also missing is a secure file shredder, but it makes up for the omission by supplying a Registry-cleaning utility, which quickly scans for invalid entries before removing them. CCleaner can even back up your Registry before removal, in case it accidentally removes a crucial component, and the download includes a feature for uninstalling any program on your machine.

Since this free application handles the majority of PC-cleaning chores and offers a nice extra, we have no problem recommending CCleaner to all users, except those who need to get rid of supersensitive data.

  "Fast, free, and speeds up your pc"

  by goldengreeke on October 25, 2005

  Pros: CCleaner is fast and free and even catches the ***** that TuneUp utilities,Super utilities,and WinASO miss on their scans. I think it is the best free software product on the internet and give it 5 big stars and two thumbs way up! Download it now,recover your disk space and speed up your pc!

  "Small and Fast"

  by viruzth on October 26, 2005

  Pros: I've been using this s/w for almost a year. It's the best cleaner i've tried.

  The search engine is fast.

  The cleaning option is vary.

  In this version, it become greater with the customize files and folder (u can manage your own junk files or folder, u better know what u do with this feature). And i love this feature soo much!

  The interface it more 'lovely' than previous one.

  Might be, it's the only s/w that can clean your tray chace... i love this feature.

  Cons: The registry cleaner... this part is the reason of my 4 star not 5 star rate. Is not that powerfull, but i'm using RegSupreme Pro to manage and clean my registry, and also TuneUp Utilities to clean my registry.

  Minor, but might be crucial [not for me ^^], the internet temp cleaner will not tell what files that going to b deleted, only the number.

  "A must have"

  by nusheh on October 29, 2005

  Pros: While reading the review about how it installed spyware and virus's, i instantly knew that none of it was CCleaners fault. It is a great program, frees me up alot of space infact. i was unsure about what registry keys it deleted, but everytime i read the registry keys, i know they are from previously uninstalled programs, nothing that will damage my pc. one of the few programs i will keep forever.

  "still trying to wipe the crap with freeware"

  by allybabble on October 25, 2005

  Pros: For starters, it does some of what it says, and I stress "some".

  Cons: I've tried reinstalling some of the programs I let it "wipe" and found some specifics loaded were still where I had set them -proir to the wipe. Summary..? It's a cliche`.
