    Its a great tool but a pain that they still use yahoo search toolbar. I use the program a lot but I forgot tonight about selecting it so when I found out I had to un-install it via un-install and reboot

    I had used this in the past but it really mucked up the programmes on my computer- does anyone have any tips? I use Napster and it basicly deleted everything on Napster I had- I had to reload Napster from scratch and redownload all my music all over again! On top of that, 4.O.D was also wiped and had to be redownloaded....

    Anyone else had anything similar or know how to load the cleaner without it wrecking so much?!

    When you analyse, click the applications tab and you can choose which programs you want to be scanned :D

    Jsut thoguht I'd let you know that it has bene updated to version 2.12.
    There are lots of new updates so make sure that you download the new version.

    Thanks for bumping this thread - it's just what I needed! :D
  • Wouldn't waste my time with cCleaner to be honest. The programme makes out to do a lot, when in reality it just gives the impression that your pc has been 'cleaned.'

    I'd much rather spend a few pounds on something like KDT RAM cleaner.

    Just a thought...
