  "Its a good program, but CCleaner does the same job for free."

  by CableguyTK on February 8, 2006

  Pros: Its from the same people who make SpySweeper, one of the best AntiSpyware programs on the market.

  It cleans up everything browser history related.

  Works with FireFox and Netscape.

  It cleans other programsm like MS Office and Outlook Express.

  Cons: It doesn't support Opera cleaning.

  It isn't free.

  I'm not particularly sure you can add support for any other programs, something which CCleaner lets you do with ease.

  CCleaner is a better program which cleans the same things as Window Washer all while being free. I suggest you get that instead.

  "The new version is 6.5!"

  by Chainmail2006 on August 22, 2007

  Pros: And thats what I am writing my review on. Version 6.5 is a much improved cleanup application. Ir is now compatible with every browser I use. It also works with several other installed applications. This new release is the best version yet as older versions didn't work with "Firefox'. The settings are highly customizable to fit your needs and now, finally, it does what it was designed to do.You can "add bleach" for a deeper cleaning. The new version is compatible with "XP" and "Vista". This, for a change is nice work by "Webroot".

  Cons: The new release was to long in development when it was needed months ago. It deleted 21.8 MB from my computer but left 4.2 MB behind. I'm thinking this was because of the settings i chose, rather then the application. Take a few minutes to look it over and set it up or you might delete something you wanted to keep.

  "Nothing wrong with this program."

  by The Sports Fan on January 15, 2008

  Pros: I'm curious about the person who claims "stay away if you have Vista", because I have "Vista Home Premium" and had it for 7 months. This program has never caused me any heartache at all. As long as you take a few minutes to check and double check the program settings it's a good program. Same with any program of this type. A couple weeks ago, I installed version 6,5 and updated it to version 5,5,655 and have had no problems with it at all.

  Cons: I'm not sure I like "Webroots" purchasing method with this program. Theres no activation code. You buy it and they send you a download link to your full version. If you do buy a copy, save the installer to some type of external drive or disk.
