CCleaner PC Speed Up Tool and Optimizer

CCleaner is another great third-party optimization tool. It offers many useful optimization features as well as privacy tools. This third-party PC optimizer can be dangerous as it can cause damage to your operating system.

It is completely free and includes almost all of its features. A Professional version can be purchased for an additional fee that includes scheduled cleaning, software updates, and other features.

CCleaner scans your hard drive looking for any unwanted files. This includes temporary files, internet cookies and unused or erroneous Registry files. It includes a file cleaner and a registry cleaner, an uninstall tool, disk analysis, drive wiper, and many other features.

Make sure you are careful about any changes to your system. Back up your PC before performing advanced cleaning/optimization tasks as some changes can cause Windows to have issues.

The Registry tab is another benefit. It allows you to scan your registry and fix any redundancies. You can also uninstall programs, disable startup programs and locate large files.
