What I like most is the efficient cleaning and maintenance of the children's computer space. Also, it is useful to fix registry errors and block phishing programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about CCleaner? It is not very convenient that CCleaner loads the RAM of weak computers. This is especially noticeable when the computer is loaded with file junk and cannot cope with the task. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering CCleaner: I recommend using CCleaner for your computer and phone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is CCleaner solving and how is that benefiting you? During the use of the program, I have solved the problem of system performance many times.

After trying multiple software on the internet, this is the best I have used so far, It saves so much time from manual cleaning the junk files to do all things in just one click. It is the first thing that I use when the computer works slow. It's Simple, User-friendly, Lightweight, and powerful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about CCleaner? There are not any specific reasons that I dislike but some features are not that much useful. Like in registry cleaner, I am not able to select it category wise, yes I can select each but then it becomes a time-consuming process. I have also faced issues while creating a system recovery in which it can't add new applications that I have installed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering CCleaner: If you want your pc to work smoother, go for it, it will save you a lot of time from the manual process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is CCleaner solving and how is that benefiting you? Time and Space is the main thing that I have saved using CCleaner. Clearing Temporary files, deleting browser history, cache files, fixing the registry, and much more similar things are now more common things today. It also helps me to save resources for the computer as it contains many tools like disk analyzer, the duplicate folder which is useful and I don't have to install/rely on other software.

RT Rafael Coffi T. Researcher Engineer Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 1/25/2021 "CCleaner - a tool that more promises than fulfills" 4/5 What do you like best about CCleaner? CCleaner is already an old tool for Windows operating systems. It promises to help the system to be faster, through a friendly interface for you to clean records, programs and other information no longer used in the operating system. The interface is intuitive and friendly. The tool is relatively fast and has a good range of features (deleting invalid registries, freeing up space in RAM and uninstalling programs correctly). I have already successfully used the tool to remove a program that insisted on not being uninstalled by the Windows Control Panel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about CCleaner? However, the tool promises more than it delivers. The deletion of registers and the release of RAM, in practice, do not improve the performance of the system by almost anything. Especially when we are talking about using the program in Windows 10: removing registries can be disastrous and slow the operating system. (This has already been proven in some technical articles). Microsoft itself does not recommend using the tool on windows 10. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering CCleaner: Don't expect CCleaner to dramatically improve the performance of your operating system. On the contrary: in Windows 10, the tool is not recommended by Microsoft and can cause more damage than improvement. I recommend using the tool with reservations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is CCleaner solving and how is that benefiting you? The tool has already helped me to uninstall a program that I couldn't uninstall through the Control Panel on Windows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ontwerper / Developer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 3/2/2020 "CCleaner - Clean not only your C disk..." 4/5 What do you like best about CCleaner? Internet use is persistent which ensures that many transient data, disables, search history, cookies, and several other garbage file types accumulate on our hard disk drive so I eliminate the issue with Ccleaner because I can delete them whenever I want. It offers the option of review and restoration of damaged files that can boost machine efficiency. One of them being that I am shown the features of my cpu and the capacity of my RAM, details rather helpful for running any programs so that I can see whether or not it is compliant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about CCleaner? Cleaner provides disadvantages when it is uninstalled as uninstall clicks fill the uninstall tab, but at the end of the day, it is still on my machine so it is really anxious. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering CCleaner: I suggest cleaner to anyone who normally browses the Internet since they are able to clean all these garbage files and therefore maintain high standard of computer process efficiency. The basic version is quite comprehensive and requires simple cleaning, but you really should still get the premium option at a very good price if you want a great cleaning and other elevated-performance recovery equipment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is CCleaner solving and how is that benefiting you? The great advantage is that I'm not concerned about the large quantities of junk files on my disk and I'm not worried about restoring many records which allow my Computer to work very well. The uninstallation and recovery device has given me so much problems as I uninstall and update unfamiliar applications accidentally. I have difficulty accessing a number of websites and have solved problems easily using the great program because of the past, cookies and indexes created during internet browsing.
