Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Despite a few misses, Zappit System Cleaner improves your system performance by eradicating space-hogging obsolete files and files that may endanger your privacy. The Windows XP-inspired interface has a safe deletion mode for less experienced users and an advanced mode with features for customizing cleanups. Like most competing applications in its class, Zappit removes traces from Windows system areas including the Recycle Bin, the Clipboard, temp folders, and the Recent Documents list. We're impressed by how well it eradicates Web-surfing traces from IE, Mozilla, Opera, Netscape, and Firefox. However, cleaning traces from third-party applications is narrowly focused on only a few programs. The cleaning process is fast and accurate, and we like that Zappit automatically creates a restore point before cleaning. You can easily schedule cleaning tasks to operate when you're away. Oddly, it doesn't include a secured file shredder, a common feature in cleaning programs. Novice users will appreciate the few handy wizards for managing start-up programs and Internet favorites. This free program helps keep your computer healthy and is a good addition to your toolset.Publisher's description

Version: Zappit System Cleaner 1.1
Pros: A neat looking GUI makes this a cool little program. You can schedule the program to clean your system on a daily basis, which is a plus! Has a Safe Mode, and a Advanced Mode for experienced users. A great cleaner for free! Scans are usually fast, and so is the cleaning process. It's also light on resources. Creates an automatic system restore point before scanning.
Cons: I wish it showed you a detailed list of what's being cleaned like CCleaner does. It advises you to restart your computer to fully delete all items that it cleans. Overall a 4/5.
