CCleaner is a free PC optimization tool for Windows and one of the most downloaded applications worldwide. The software provides you with many features to clean your PC. Besides a good virus scanner, CCleaner is a tool that simply belongs on your computer.
Think about your computer for a moment. How many times do you install and uninstall software? And how often do you browse the internet for information? For many people, the answer is that they do this very often. Some people have to do it for business reasons. Gamers do it to find or test the next cool game. And others do it simply because they like to be informed. I do it for all of these reasons combined. My business requires me to constantly do some research online. And I like to read the news every day. And once in a while, I like to try one of those fancy games everyone is talking about.
But why CCleaner?
The older your PC gets the more files are stored on it. Some of these files are not used anymore but have not been removed after uninstalling the software it belongs to. Not only does this clutter fill your harddrive. It also makes your PC run slower. CCleaner will find those files and remove it so your PC will run faster again.
And when you browse the internet many websites will leave cookies on your PC. For safety reasons, you should remove those cookies ones in a while. CCleaner takes care of this and erases your browser search history and cookies.
Another thread to your computer is that your registry becomes cluttered with errors and broken settings because those entries were not properly uninstalled when uninstalling the software they belonged to. Again, this great cleaning tool takes care of this as well.
The features above are only a part of what CCleaner provides. One new feature is that the application now has a software updater. However, we do need to mention that not all of those features above (e.g. the software updater) are available in the free version. But we highly recommend to at least use the free version of this great software.
Is it safe?
The CCleaner does its job very carefully so that you do not have to expect involuntary data loss. Important system files remain unaffected. The Tool shows all affected areas before deleting the data. It is also sufficiently intelligent when deleting cookies so that login data, for example for your e-mail access, is not deleted. And when it comes to registry cleaning, care is also taken. Before cleaning, the tool offers to create a backup. If something does not work as usual afterward, the recovery is only a matter of seconds.
