Optimization tool and its role in computer

CCleaner is used for removing unwanted files from your computer depending on the restrictions that you set up upon running it. You need to modify the areas on your computer before running the Analyze option so you will know which files will be deleted before clicking on the Run Cleaner option. And this is absolutely free of charge.

Pros:

It is capable of removing unused files on your computer so your Windows will run fast and can free some space on your hard disk drive. It can also remove browsing history and composed of a complete registry cleaner features.

Cons:

None so far, this application is an excellent one.

Optimization tool and its role in computer

 

Piriform developed an optimization tool that is very useful in cleaning your Windows PC.  It can remove unused and temporary files from your system allowing Windows to run faster.   In Windows, it removes files under the following:

 

Internet explorer

• Temporary Internet Files
• Cookies
• History
• Recent Typed URLs
• Index.dat files
• Last Download Location

Windows Explorer

• Recent Documents
• Run (in Start Menu)
• Other Explorer MRUs
• Thumbmail Cache

System

• Empty Recycle Bin
• Temporary Files
• Clipboard
• Memory Dumps
• Chkdsk File Fragments
• Windows Log Files

 

Moreover, it also removes and cleans application from Firefox/Mozilla, Safari, Google chrome and from the system registry.   In running the CCleaner, first it analyzes how much data to be cleaned and removed from your system and when the analysis is done, running the cleaner removes all clutter thus leaving your PC with more disk space further making it run faster.  I can attest that this is a trusted software since I, myself is a user ever since I own a PC.

 

This is also user friendly and is easy to download.  On the other hand, I don’t see any disadvantage from this tool.
