CCleaner 6.23.11010 Final reviews

I'd like to take up the cudgels for Crap Cleaner. Sure - the installer manipulates your Windows firewall to tunnel home and tries to trick you into things you don't need. Software and driver updaters are things with no real purpose and stink like the installer. The new owners have deliberately made a crap program out of it! That's right! I still hear people say things like "Ahh, CCleaner - you'll ruin your system with it." I think to myself that anyone who manages to do that shouldn't think they're particularly clever. Either the CCleaner version was out of date or the users were too blind or too stupid to use CCleaner correctly or not able to reboot Windows quickly. A reasonably secure Windows with a sober user has no problems with CCleaner!

CCleaner has been running portable and "clean" for a good 20 years. For a long time it was the only tool (apart from the console) that could uninstall a lot of bloatware from Windows XP etc. and if you wanted to quickly clean your registry of residues from installers and driver corpses, it was the tool of choice. If you take a closer look, there were/are even more useful "extras" under Extras for free. Overwriting once is enough for the hard disk wiper. Just wanted to mention it.
Is Crap Cleaner a must have? Nope! But it is still useful to have it as a portable version.

CCleaner has been a game-changer for me.

The interface is user-friendly, the cleaning process is thorough, and my PC's speed has noticeably improved.

The registry cleaner is a bonus, and the privacy controls show they respect user data.

It's a must-have for anyone wanting a hassle-free, effective solution for PC maintenance.
