Ccleaner

[Mr Darn]

Ccleaner is a product i've been using for years now, but first the bad points:

• It comes bundled with the "yahoo" toolbar
  
• the registry cleaner section is iffy at best and should not be used unless you understand the results, and back-up the registry first!
  
• it puts a desktop icon, a quick launch icon and 2 entries into your right-click menu of the recycle bin
  

but, some good points:

• all of the above bad points can be avoided
  
• Yahoo installation can be unticked during setup
  
• you can customise what is used with regards icons and right click menus
  
• you can simply not use the registry feature.
  

i personally just enable 'check for updates' and 'put ''open ccleaner'' into the recycle bin right click menu'

What this program does, is clean all your unwanted files from your computer that can build up over the years.

What, exactly, it cleans, can be changed via the left hand side menu, ranging from just cleaning out temp files and cookies, to erasing saved passwords and autocomplete info, as well as browser history and other items you wouldn't have even known were building up before.

this program also has a handy tools section, enabling you to uninstall programs that windows sometimes cant, and edit your startup items for a sleaker startup.

i HIGHLY recommend this program for inclusion in your periodical pc maintenance.

You can download ccleaner from www.ccleaner.com

Product Rating: (5 Terriers)

It would have been six, had it not had the registry cleaning part.
