Clean Up your computer

[BBoo]

I downloaded this a while ago now:

CCleaner - Download

It performs a good number of routine tasks to keep your computer running automatically - use the free version!

Also cleans up your registry - I've found it brilliant!

Me aswell
I use all three

I run Spybot and Malwarebytes in "safe mode", it seems quicker

Yes and as safe mode says SAFER plus more chance of finding the crap in safe mode

How easy is this to use - Mbytes is simle run and fix ..... is this worked on the same sort of basis?

CCleaner is very simple just two buttons, analize and clean and has never deleted anything I did not want it too yet.

Never 100% trusted ones that try to clean up/fix the registry, but that may just be over caution on my part.

Something similar but open source: BleachBit - Clean Disk Space, Maintain Privacy

Works well on Linux. Can't vouch for Windows.

Right done the two analyze and cleans - the generic one and the registry one (as I knew there was stuff that needed removing, but not confident enought to do it myself)

Hopefully will run a bit quicker now
