CCleaner 5.15.5513
Let's start with the fact that this program is free. If you look at similar programs, there are few free analogues, so CCleaner is very useful in its own way. Among the closest competitors are Auslogics BoostSpeed, but this program is paid, although it is of very high quality.
In addition, it is regularly updated, providing users with new functions. For corporate use, the program has a separate, paid version. Therefore, home computer users are in luck.
Main features of CCleaner
Cleaning unnecessary system files:
In Windows, every minute many temporary files are created that are required for single operations, reports are created, various caches are created, etc. Subsequently, many of them are not deleted and remain on the hard drive, which takes up free space. This includes: Windows Explorer data, temporary files, clipboard, memory dumps, Windows logs and reports, various kinds of caches, empty shortcuts, stale selections, emptying the recycle bin, etc. In systems that have not been cleaned for a long time, the size of deleted files can reach several gigabytes.
Clearing program data:
Not only the system, but also the programs that we installed create temporary files. This program can remove them too. It supports working with: Microsoft Office, OpenOffice.org, AVG AntiVirus, Avast!,Windows Media Player eMule Black, SmartFTP, Registry Cleaner, Adobe Acrobat, Maxthon, MS Paint, WinRAR,WinAce, AkelPad , RealPlayer, A-Squared, WinZip, FileZilla, 4sync, DVDFab, K-Meleon, RockMelt, 7-Zip, ACDSee, Songbird, Inkscape, PKZIP, MySpaceIM, Avant Browser, Acrobat Distiller, Thunderbird, Foxit Reader, Spyware Terminator, CoolNovo,Audacity , LogMeIn Hamachi, BitZipper, CuteFTP, BitTorrent, Acronis True Image, ZuneBreezeBrowserFastStone Image Viewer, Notepad++, NoteXpad and Windows Game Explorer.
Checking the integrity and cleaning the registry:
A lot of data is written to the system registry every second, which makes it large and searching through it takes longer. CCleaner cleans the registry and also checks the integrity of the data in it, which has a positive effect on the speed of the system.
Program Manager:
Everyone knows about the standard program manager, which is called “Programs and Features”. CCleaner offers its own version, which works much faster, and also allows you to rename the program, search the list, and also delete it.
Autoload:
The system also has a standard application of this type. But it does not allow you to completely delete entries. It only allows you to remove it from loading. Everything in this program is much more interesting. Here you can either turn on or off autoloads of a certain program, or you can completely remove it. In addition, there is not only system startup, but also a list of automatically loaded modules in browsers, as well as a list of scheduled tasks and setting up the system context menu (quick call of programs that are visible when you right-click).
Finding duplicate files:
Very useful application. For example, you have several folders with music, but they contain many identical songs that differ in name or size. With this program you can easily find them. You can search for null files, readable files, hidden files, system files, what size files are. A match is considered by name, size, or modification date. You can specify the entire disk to search, or individual folders, as well as file extensions.
System Restore:
As before, this is an alternative to the standard Windows recovery application using checkpoints. Nothing special here, just a point manager.
Erase Discs:
A very convenient utility when you need to erase a disk. In addition to regular deletion, which only erases file data, multiple erases are also possible here, i.e. erasing without the possibility of recovery using special programs such as Recuva. Multiple erase is available in 1, 3, 7 or 35 passes. You can erase the entire disk or just the free space on it.
Program settings
The utility allows you to effectively configure yourself. You can enable automatic updating, add CCleaner items to the Recycle Bin context menu, set up automatic cleaning when the computer starts, set the erase mode, create a list of non-deletable Cookies, create a list of folders that should be cleaned, exceptions and many other settings.
Conclusion
Despite its small size (less than 5 MB), CCleaner has enormous functionality, and all this is provided to the average user for free.
