Clean up program

Hi guys,

Could you suggest/reccommend me a good clean up program? I am not trusting CCleaner anymore, because it seems like its last updates made it worse (I’m not too sure about this though).

Thank you

The one I use is TFC, give it a run and see what you think

Clear Cache/Temp Files
Download TFC by OldTimer to your desktop

[*] Please double-click TFC.exe to run it. (Note: If you are running on Vista, right-click on the file and choose Run As Administrator).
[*]It will close all programs when run, so make sure you have saved all your work before you begin.
[*]Click the Start button to begin the process. Depending on how often you clean temp files, execution time should be anywhere from a few seconds to a minute or two. Let it run uninterrupted to completion.
[*]Once it’s finished it should reboot your machine. If it does not, please manually reboot the machine yourself to ensure a complete clean.

CCleaner is the best free cleaner you find

and they have a forum where you can read about/post any problems you may have http://forum.piriform.com/

CCleaner best ? Not recently . Way too many issues with errors, and browser cleaning. Has also been found NOT to have deleted files during secure deletion.

http://privazer.com/ Privazer is a very comprehensive tool. It requires a bit of time to learn to use it, and check all the options, but if you want to clean properly this is the tool for the job.

+1, never had any issues with CCleaner and I’ve installed it on many systems over the years and not one problem.

+1 to CCleaner. I have never had any issues with CCleaner…ever.
When using the registry cleaner make a backup file after cleaning just in case.

This reminds me of “Which is the best browser ?”
All of the programs mentioned are good and do the job they where designed to do.
User preference will determine which program you feel more comfortable with. :slight_smile:
