CCleaner Icon

CCleaner (or Crap Cleaner) is a popular PC optimization, privacy, and cleaning utility. It allows you to clean junk data that accumulates over time from your system – to free up valuable hard disk space, and to clean traces of your web online activities such as your internet browser history, allowing you to be a more confident Internet user and less susceptible to identity theft. It’s an advanced yet easy to use tool for all types of users both beginners and advanced.

CCleaner was developed by Piriform, a UK based company (that has been acquired by Avast, a cybersecurity software company). It was first launched in 2004 and has since grown in popularity. The standard, free edition has been downloaded more than 2.5 billion times and is considered an essential tool for anyone wanting to squeeze every last bit of performance out of their machine. Moreover, it has been reviewed by most popular software experts and tech sites and awarded by them.

As an optimization software, every aspect is aimed at improving PC performance. Beside the cleaning module, Piriform’s cleaning tool offers a full arsenal of fully-featured build-in tools, including:
  • Registry Cleaner – Removes unneeded entries in the Windows Registry
  • Uninstaller Tool – Removes unneeded programs on your computer
  • Startup Manager – Select which programs start with Windows
  • Disk Analyzer – Find out which files takes most the of your hard drive space
  • Disk Wiper – Wipe sections on your hard disk so deleted files can never be recovered
  • Software Updater – Check for outdated software on your PC
  • Duplicate Finder – Search for duplicate files and remove them
  • System Restore – Easily restore your computer to earlier state
  • Browser Plugins – Easily manage your browsers plugins

In the latest versions, Piriform’s cleaning tool has a new feature: a Software Updater, an update tool that automatically searches your PC for outdated software and updates all your apps with a few clicks. This special tool is used to reduce potential security risks and fix vulnerabilities in old software (that make your computer more open to attackers).

  • CCleaner Standard – completely free edition and requires no license to be used.

  • CCleaner Professional Plus – 4-in-1 cleaning & recovery bundle that includes CCleaner, Recuva, Speccy, and Defraggler in their Pro editions.
