"System optimization and management"
What do you like best about CCleaner?

CCleaner is an excellent PC management software with various features to boost its performance. It can help optimize system performance by removing unnecessary files, temp files, and invalid registry entries. You can free up disk space and improve the system's speed. CCleaner has tools to clean the browsing history, cookies, and temporary internet files, which can help protect your privacy and prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information stored on your browser. You can uninstall unwanted applications and manage startup apps, making the bootup time quicker and smoother. Using various options and settings, you can customize the cleaning process according to your specific needs. CCleaner is regularly updated to address security vulnerabilities and compatibility issues with new OS updates, ensuring that you have access to the latest features and improvements. Furthermore, CCleaner's ability to remove unwanted files and apps helps reclaim disk space, thus reducing the need for more storage devices and delaying hardware upgrades. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CCleaner?

The only thing I dislike about Ccleaner is that it's not user-friendly for beginners. If it's not used carefully, it can remove files needed by specific applications and lead to functionality issues. Although it can help with privacy protection, it doesn't guarantee security as an antivirus software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Not recommended any more - Don't install junk and you won't need to clean your PC"
What do you like best about CCleaner?

CCleaner gives the promise of freeing disk space and making your computer run faster. That's all good, but does it actually work? Ig you choose to use it, be sure you understand what it is doing. By cleaning up cookies, and browser settings, you might delete passwords and login authentication you don't know how to get back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CCleaner?

It still seems to be "too" powerful. I would expect a product like this to only allow me to do things that are safe, but it can make massive changes to the system registry and delete files you might actually need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Free Computer Cleaner I've Found"
What do you like best about CCleaner?

Simplicity, ease of use, ability to customize what you're 'cleaning,' and I love the additional tools such as the software updater, uninstall options, and startup options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CCleaner?

It is constantly updating, which is good, but it gets a little tedious with how often I have to download the update. I also wish they would stop bundling their browser as an optional download during installation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Vital to keep computer clean and smooth"
What do you like best about CCleaner?

CCleaner is an all-in-one computer cleaning software with various tools to remove unwanted files and errors from the disk. CCleaner is a multipurpose platform with multiple features like Health Check, Performance Optimizer, Driver Updater, and Registry Cleaner. You can use the Health Check scan to see how well your computer is performing and what's causing it to slow. The Performance Optimizer shows you which applications are causing more load on your CPU, including start-up applications that launch and run in the background as soon as you turn your computer on. The Driver Updater is an essential tool that looks for new updates for all the drivers you use so that your system runs fast and is as secure as possible. The Registry Cleaner does an excellent job cleaning the registry by deleting old and unwanted values, broken paths and directories, broken thumbnails, etc. CCleaner is a collection of several features that collaboratively aim to help you maintain your computer's speed and overall performance.

What do you dislike about CCleaner?

I've not had any issues with CCleaner after using it for over a decade. I'd previously used it on my laptops as they would become slow over time. But with CCleaner, I've been able to keep both my desktop computer and my laptop as good as new by deleting unwanted files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"12 yr user, Happy as ever"
What do you like best about CCleaner?

1. Swift cleaning of cookies 2. Able to include or exclude multiple levels of scanning depth ...for example you could exclude scan (removal) of email client passwords since that one is used daily. 3. Strong registry cleaning 4. Paid version has a wonderful driver update version and thus is well recommended if your system is more than 2 years old (especially laptops) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CCleaner?

Using since 12 years, no complaints as yet ;) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"All in one utility tool for maintain your computer"
What do you like best about CCleaner?

It provides all necessary tools in one software that helps users to remove registries, software, history, cache files, passwords, and much more. It can also remove items from the clipboard and recycle bin. Its user interface is very simple. All the above operations can be performed in just one click. With the help of this, you can optimize your system and make your computer work fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CCleaner?

I have been using Ccleaner for a very long time, and to date, I haven't faced any issues. It may also use a heavy Ram that can slow down your system. It sometimes delete those files which we do not want to delete. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent Free to use Cleaning Software"
What do you like best about CCleaner?

The nicest thing about this software is that it allows me to remove all of my undesirable files, particularly trash and cached data, in one easy and convenient step with just one click. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CCleaner?

The software actually needs a lot of improvements on the UI/UX part although it is easy to use but lacks the appealing UI which it can have according to its demand and popularity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent software for a healthy computer"
What do you like best about CCleaner?

CCleaner is available for free with an excellent set of features to help you keep your computer running as good as new. Combined with a robust anti-virus software, CCleaner is the icing on the cake to ensure that your computer doesn't slow down. You can use it to delete unwanted files automatically or at your will. CCleaner has the tools to delete cache files, clear your browser's cookies and caches to speed it up, and disable any software causing your CPU to have high load times. You can use it to remove junk files and app data from Windows software and any software that you've installed manually. It has other tools for optimization and defragmentation of the disk drives for better load time and seamlessness of use. CCleaner comes with a Pro version that has additional features to help maintain the top-notch running of your computer, such as cleaning the system files and analyzing the registry for any issues or leftover files from uninstalling any software. CCleaner also shows you a list of all the software you have installed and the last time you used them. This list can give you an idea of which software you no longer use and uninstall them accordingly to save space and improve your computer's speed. CCleaner is like an overseer of your computer, helping you manage all file and software-related information that would be a pain to keep track of manually. It does an excellent job in this regard, and it's a vital software for every computer for it to continue functioning like it's brand new. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CCleaner?

I don't dislike anything about CCleaner, a free software that I've upgraded to Pro due to years of usage and satisfaction. It's excellent in what it's supposed to do, and I've never come across any issues with it thus far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
