| 1487556 | 2022-07-24 04:52:00 | Hi all ... just wondering whether cc cleaner is still good to use or is there a better free app to use that does the same thing ?? Have a laptop that's probably quite constipated and needs a good enema to bring it back to good health :) TIA SP8's |

| 1487557 | 2022-07-24 06:15:00 | Ditched it ages ago when it was bought out. I just use Revo now | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1487558 | 2022-07-24 09:10:00 | I mostly use Linux now so I don't bother with cleaners, as I hardly use Windows for anything, there aren't many temp files there anyway! | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 1487559 | 2022-07-24 19:17:00 | I start with MS Disk Clean-up. I then use Revo and then follow-up with CCleaner. CCleaner always finds extras that Disk- clean-up and Revo haven't cleaned. | Bryan (147) | ||
| 1487560 | 2022-07-24 21:42:00 | Linux now: aren't many temp files there anyway! Or a registry. But there are : Mostly the way the browser stores stuff and the likes of mlocate. But easy to clean anyway with a simple terminal command. :-) |

| 1487561 | 2022-07-25 03:26:00 | Assuming Win10... Just dont use any. Stop fiddling . :-) MS actually did know a bit when they designed win10 , you dont NEED a clean up app. Or , just use the build in "disk cleanup" Avoid reg cleaners : snake oil . |

| 1487562 | 2022-07-25 04:43:00 | I use CCleaner and also Glary Utilities zealously. -the latter mainly when I update various applications. and need new Shortcuts. I am not confident to use Reg edit . No problems with either |

| 1487565 | 2022-07-30 01:18:00 | Hi all To those who have been kind enough to answer my question ... Thanks !! I haven't been doing much with computers for quite a while and at my age, I'm getting to old to keep up with all this sh!t ... seems as though things change every day and can't keep up. Apart from using ESET which I have done for years, the only other thing I use is ABP ... if there's anything else, like Malware, spyware and the like that are considered "essential" to keep bugs and crap out, I'd appreciate guidance from those members I still remember as giving good sound advice. I must say that I haven't had very many problems and running Win 11 on 2 of my computers ... life seems a little dull with the days of Win95, 98 and Vista gone !! |
