free software - ccleaner - cool cleaning program!

Options
great little free cleaning program for your computer, I have used this a few times and find it brilliant, there is even an issues cleaner which cleans up leftovers from old programs that have been uninstalled from your computer. Totally free not a trial version and no spyware either.

I highly recommend it - any comments appreciated.

CCleaner (Crap Cleaner) is a freeware system optimization tool. That removes unused and temporary files from your system - allowing Windows to run faster, more efficiently and giving you more hard disk space. The best part is that it's fast! (normally taking less that a second to run) and Free. :)

Cleans the following:

* Internet Explorer
Temporary files, URL history, cookies, index.dat.
* Firefox
Temporary files, URL history, cookies, download history.
* Windows
Recycle Bin, Recent Documents, Temporary files and Log files.
* Registry cleaner
Advanced cleaner to remove unused and old entries, including File Extensions, ActiveX Controls, ClassIDs, ProgIDs, Uninstallers, Shared DLLs, Fonts, Help Files, Application Paths, Icons, Invalid Shortcuts and more... also comes with a comprehensive backup feature.
* Third-party applications

I always wanted to be a procrastinator, never got round to it...

    I've used this product for quite a while now and it does exactly as it says on the tin. I'm very happy with it.

    I've used ccleaner for the first time recently. All appears to be OK so far.

    I've read reports about this programme on other forums and it would seem to be a good free download which is ultra safe to use.

    It is definately one of the best Freeware programs out there, coincidentally anyone who wants to try freeware wouldnt go wrong by trying https://www.nonags.com for some free downloads, you dont have to join to get them.

    Have been using this for a few months, have it in a directory called essentials, along with Adware, Spybot and AVG anti-virus, all free and keeps the computer clean of rubbish.
