CCleaner - Keep your windows clean

May 2nd, 2006

Windows has a way of slowing down over time. Temp files, browser cache, old installations, etc., add to the bloat of start-up performance and disk space. I used to be able to manually review some of these items and easily fix them, but it had become too much of a task and not thorough enough. CCleaner is a free utility that performs many tasks to address this.

Short for “Crap Cleaner”, CCleaner does just that. Described as a freeware PC optimization tool, CCleaner removes the temporary files from your system that fill up your hard drive and slow your system down. Another benefit is that of privacy – to quickly remove cookies, browser history, and temporary Internet files. There are a number of more advanced features that may also be of interest.

Also, did I mention it’s free?

CCleaner is available here.
