best cleaner

by welrdelr - 4/18/08 5:31 PM In reply to: cleaners by pcfa

The best cleaner is to learn how to use the settings, modify the registry, and disable the superhidden menu to tweak.
Using an external device also will help clean.
A word of advice: Don't do anything unless you are certain of what you want the results to be. You could end up with a temporarily useless machine.

CC Cleaner

CC Cleaner without permission installs Yahoo Toolbar that needs to be removed after installation of CC Cleaner.

ccleaner

by jeffndy - 4/29/08 5:34 PM In reply to: CC Cleaner by gspal

Sorry Dude, but,no it doesn't. If it made it to your computer, its because you were in too big of a hurry to install CCleaner. Because it gives you the OPTION as to whether or not to install it. It's there because YOU didn't uncheck the box saying to install it. DOH!!!

In addition there is...

a "Slim Version" that has no toolbar. So your comment is well taken and if anyone installs it... they were not paying attention.

My preference is CCleaner...

by glenn30 - 4/18/08 6:28 PM In reply to: cleaners by pcfa

It has always done a good job for me. Just review all the items which are checked to see if that is what you want. Never found it to remove anything that is really critical yet... so you are unlikely to make a mistake letting it clean most anything... the grayed out ones I avoid.

My personal experience.

I use them both. . .

They each find different items. Easy Cleaner can be a little more destructive on the unnecessary files page, so be careful.

I use both, too!

I use CCleaner several times a day, but I have found Easy Cleaner valuable for removing start menu programs I prefer not to have.

CCleaner is good

by Willy - 4/19/08 8:26 AM In reply to: cleaners by pcfa

CCleaner for me has done well. Any other cleaner will do good too, but ccleaner continues to improve of their offering. Besides being free it is just good to use its defaults as well, no need to really tweak it.
