CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

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.

    Version: CCleaner 1.36.430

    "Improved registry cleaner!"

    by 19monty64 on October 25, 2006

    Pros: Last version couldn't remove some registry entries because of permissions, but this verion fixed that. Definitely the safest and most efficient temp file and registry cleaner that I've used. I've been using CCleaner for about a year and have NOT had to pay a cent, so it's definitely free, and none of the scanners I've used have ever flagged CC as suspicious, so it's clean!!!

    Cons: I've never installed the optional toolbar to know if it's free or trial, but CCleaner has always been free and clean!!!

    "Excellent, one of the best; I LOVE IT"

    by nmahynski on October 30, 2006

    Pros: It has a good analysis feature which can give advanced users information on what type of information is being removed from your registry, temp files, etc. and is simple enough for beginners to use it. Also, it is SAFE, unlike other cleaners I have tested CCleaner has not messed up my C drive by removing certain vital files to my registry.

    "Nothing Better Than A Fast, Free, Small, Efective Yet Simple Program"

    by the virus killer on October 30, 2006

    Pros: When You look for programs that clean your junk away , you always hope that afterwards you will feel improvements in your PC. This program really does have an effect that you can feel on your pc. C CLEANER is my favorite program in the computer world and thats mainly because its fast , free , very effective and yet so simple to use. What more could a user want from such a program?. I have been using cclenaer for 2 years now and each month it gets updated. It has a simple registry cleaner (not one that will go deep into the registry and crash your system), A simple interface, very easy to navigate , A few extra tools like uninstall section(better than the add/remove programs.) and a startup manager. And obviously a cleaner . Best of all the registry scan and the cleaner only take a few seconds to complete. You also get all these tools with a program thats only 1.13mb small. IN GENERAL I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PROGRAM FOR ANY USER.

    Cons: nothing negative about the program but i still have not figured out if anything in the advanced section of the cleaner is safe to delete. Could anybody please get back to me on that??????

    "Great!"

    by M3talH3ad on October 28, 2006

    Pros: When i ran this program on my old computer it cleaned over 3GB of clutter and made my computer run ALOT faster. Since then i use it everyday cleaning all the junks files with a single-click. If you're worried it might delete something you need can always analyze. There's also the option to save certain cookies so they don't get cleaned when running. It's easy to use, effect and free, i strong recommend this product.
