    CCleaner - removing unnecessary data from your drives

    CCleaner is a freeware system optimization and privacy tool. It removes unused files from your system - allowing Windows to run faster and freeing up valuable hard disk space. It also cleans traces of your online activities such as your Internet history. But the best part is that it's fast (normally taking less that a second to run) and contains NO Spyware or Adware!
    CCleaner freed up some ~1.450 MB on one of my machines today - i didnt even know install files can amount to this insane size

    anyone looking to remove some temp files or correct registry settings give CCLEANER a try!

            CCleaner really made a difference on the 'older' PC I was trying to tweek for my daughter to be able to rip and burn on, with only a 533 mhz processor and 320 MBs Ram. Rips in around 20-25 mins now and burns in about 8-9 mins. Amazing what that final touch with CCleaner did to get rid of all that crud on the old PC which was slowing it's performance.

                            I have been using CCleaner since November 2005 since my last crash and fresh start. The guys who did my computer put it on and told me to run it once a month. But with all the files I download here and everything else, I do it every Sunday morning check up.

                            Wonderful program but remember to untick delete dvd shrink analysis files if you want them.
