It’s always nice to have an application take care of things on your computer for you when all you have to do is sit back click a button and wait. CCleaner is yet another application which lets you do just that. Primarily known as a privacy software, A product from Piriform, CCleaner looks into various system directories and application data and deletes all temporary and non-required data that accumulates in your computer and takes up hundreds of megabytes on your hard disk in just two steps, ‘Analyze’ then ‘Run cleaner’, just like that!
The Stuff it cleans:
Featuring a simple, user-friendly interface CCleaner gets rid of temporary files on your computer and also provides another useful ‘one click’ feature of scanning your registry for errors and dead entries and removing them. While it is known to be a privacy software, I’d like to think of it as a tweaking and optimizing utility as apart from deleting private data like recent documents and temporary internet files to name two of them, it also removes non-required, temporary data thereby freeing up disk space and also speeding up your computer. Not to forget the optimization and tweaking it provides by fixing registry issues.
The registry issues it looks into:
Well, being a useful tool is always complemented by the application turning out to be a popular and ‘top rated’ one and such is the case for CCleaner as well. Its home page boasts ‘over 130 million downloads’ and that’s not too hard to believe considering it has made it onto the ‘Top rated’ and ‘Most popular’ pages of many popular software portals:
It also contains a few useful preferences you can set like assigning custom folder contents to be deleted when the cleaner is run and a start with windows option so that temporary files from the previous login session can be removed. The application is updated on a frequent basis with newer features and bug fixes. It works on Windows 98/NT4/ME/2000/XP/2003/Vista. Click here to visit the CCleaner home page.

Ccleaner is the best free software I used too, but it does not have all the features of a paid one though. I was looking for software to defrag the registry too.
