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, Firefox, and Opera, from various Windows system areas, and from some third-party applications.
CCleaner doesn't support the large number of extraneous programs that some competitors do, but it can erase traces from such popular programs as Spybot - Search & Destroy and WinZip. CCleaner now offers secure file erasing along with a Registry-cleaning utility that 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 rudimentary 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 strongly recommend CCleaner to all users, except those who need robust tools to remove supersensitive data.

Version: CCleaner 2.07.575
Pros: Small in size, Big in function and quality.
Ccleaner cleans up junk files and frees some usable space in the computer.
Cleaning doesn't cause system problems, very safe. It also improves the performance of the machine after every clean up. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Version: CCleaner 2.07.575
Pros: Great product, does what it says it will do, a great little program to have on your computer. Doesn't take up much space and doesn't clash with other programs. It gets rid of a lot of traces left on your computer, such as cookies, history, etc. and it it can also remove some registry problems, although I don't use the registry cleaner anymore I found something better.
Cons: The registry cleaner doesn't clean as well as other free programs.
