  • <h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: CCleaner is Credible

    When downloaded from trustworthy sites, CCleaner contains no adware or malware. Many users recommend it for removing unused and temporary files, as well as unneeded entries from a computer's registry. This program is designed to help protect against accidentally deleting necessary files.

    On the Other: Cleaning May Not Be Needed

    There is disagreement about whether the registry needs to be cleaned. There are those who say any registry cleaner, CCleaner included, is unnecessary, as cleaning doesn't reduce the size of the registry, can delete needed files and may lead to system crashes. They recommend optimizing the registry manually or not editing it at all.

    Bottom Line

    CCleaner receives good reviews in forums and technical sites. It is easy to use and effective but may not contribute to enhanced system performance. Some features, especially the registry cleaning aspect, could cause problems. It is possible to use this program safely, but it would be wise to avoid the registry cleaning feature.
