The utility scans your registry and checks for broken entries, missing linked files, and DLL files no longer in use by applications. The registry cleaner is the second most-used part of the program. Remember to uncheck your browser history and recently typed URLs once those are cleaned, there’s no getting them back. Sadly this action can’t be automated in Windows’ Scheduled Tasks utility, but running the program once a month is perfectly enough.

It’s important to note that once you uncheck an option it remains unchecked – power users like myself commonly leave options unticked and run the Cleaner option by right-clicking the recycle bin without opening the program itself at all. The most-used option is the Cleaner tab, wiping your system clean of unused files and unnecessary leftover bits from applications.

The interface is simple and clean once the program is launched. Those cautious about their data usage should untick the option to download Google’s Chrome – all of the software from Piriform contains this option in their installers.

The install process is simple and easy and only takes a few clicks, taking 5 windows until the install is completed. For those disasters that came into my care, I used CCleaner to do the job.ĬCleaner is an all-in-one maintenance program, registry cleaner, disk cleanup utility and uninstall utility developed and maintained by Piriform Software Ltd. For some of these I tend to find that it’s just a general maintenance thing that needs to be seen to. Usually they complain of it being slow, cluttered with stuff and cursed with a shrinking hard drive. I’ve had my fair share of customers’ computers where they’ve absolutely messed up everything.
