"Failed to find Conduit Malware"
Version: CCleaner 4.01.4093
Pros
Free trial. Malwarebytes, Windows Defender could not find it either.
Cons
Not worth buying if it can't find Conduit Malware
Summary
If someone from CCleaner can give me a reason why the full paid version can find it then I'll buy it.

"Only software that fixed the problem"

Pros
I was getting a message that my recycle bin was corrupt when trying to delete files. I tried several different programs but this is the only one that fixed the problem.
Cons
None so far.

"Clean, clean, clean!"
Version: CCleaner 4.01.4093
Pros
Updates easily and does a great job of scanning your system.
Cons
You have got to take the time to set up what it scans and what you want it to ignore. This is less of a con than a caution.
Summary
An indispensable tool.

"I always rely on CCleaner - never caused me any probs."
Version: CCleaner 4.01.4093
Pros
The main "Pros" going for this product is the HUGE number of positive user reviews it has received over the years. I can't remember it doing any real magic for me but I run it now and then and it always finds a lot of things to remove/clean up. I always let it clean up the lot (based on the above happy users, and I am confident the programmers know more about it than I do.) Even with the registry check I trust it and have never been sorry.
Cons
Not really a "Con" but I have been confused about CCEnhancer - presumably written by same people(?), but what extra does it do and why? I reckon if it's worthwhile it should just be built into the main CCleaner program??
Summary
Excellent, solid product. Seems to be genuinely useful and has never caused me any probs, even the registry cleaner.

Pros

Cons
Doesn't really tell you what it is you're deleting... Haven't made a huge mistake, but could see it happening if I wasn't careful.
