CNET Editors' review
The Web Atom's CCleaner Enhancer adds support for more than 270 programs to CCleaner, the popular system and Registry-cleaning tool from Piriform. CCleaner Enhancer adds rules and definitions sourced from the Piriform Support Forum and other online resources to CCleaner's built-in WinApp2.ini system. When you run CCleaner again, the new programs are automatically included and ready to be selected for scanning.
We downloaded and ran the latest version of CCleaner prior to installing CCleaner Enhancer, to better gauge the additional effects. CCleaner Enhancer first asks to check for updates, which is usually wise. We ran CCleaner's cleaning tool again, and it turned up a few hundred kilobytes of persistent files that it had missed in the run prior to installing CCleaner Enhancer; it wasn't much in disk capacity, but it's a definite boost in the program's weed-whacking ability. Next we ran the Registry tool, and this time the enhancements were more obvious, with a couple dozen ActiveX/COM issues, missing shared DLLs, and a few more Registry artifacts the first pass had missed. In total, it fixed 53 additional Registry issues, not counting items deselected, most of which were inconsequential. We rebooted and ran each tool again, with no surprises, which is what we hoped to find; nothing was missed, and nothing unexpected happened.
CCleaner Enhancer is freeware, and it adds clearly visible functionality to software that already has some things going for it. It's just the beginning, of course; as creative developers add capabilities to CCleaner, tools like Cleaner Enhancer will make them available to you.
Publisher's Description
From The Web Atom:
CCEnhancer is a small tool which adds support for over 270 new programs into the popular program CCleaner. The tool uses the WinApp2.ini system built into CCleaner to easily add new rules and definitions for programs. The rules were sourced mainly from the Piriform Support Forum, with several sourced from other places around the internet.
What's new in this version: Version 2.5.1 restores the "Run On Windows Startup" functionality that stopped working on the update to 2.5.

"CCENHANCER 2.5.1 WATCH OUT"
Version: CCEnhancer 2.5.1
Pros
Ccenhancer 2.5.1 adds more scanning options to the already great utility program, the ccleaner,
Cons
WATCH OUT! Ccenhancer should only be used by users who are very familiar with how their computer works and how the programs on your computer work, basically i think only computer techs should add this add on to their ccleaner program, if you are a novice, just stick with the regular ccleaner, or you will end up deleting something you shouldn't
Summary
BE VERY CAREFUL USING THIS ADD ON
