That would be like saying an iPhone is a different type of electronic device than an android phone. Massive differences in a user interface does not, in any way, mean one program is a " different type of program" from the other. Ignoring others and sticking ones head in the sand does not make the issues go away. It is a decent program.ĭebating facts does not suggest a "fight", nor should it elicit feelings of a personal affront and insults. But let's not make up falsehoods about CCleaner in some twisted attempt to justify PrivaZer instead of CCleaner.
WISE REGISTRY CLEANER ALTERNATIVES UPGRADE
PrivaZer doesn't but sure wants us to upgrade to the "Donor" version when using and setting up the program. It is not a different type of program than CC so not sure what you are talking about there.ĬCleaner only nags once during initial installation. In fact, they work best when the OS is run in Safe Mode. In fact, both are much more efficient at cleaning when all other programs are closed. And frankly, so what if they are resource hogs? These are not programs you typically run while performing other tasks. THAT SAID, both are thrifty when it comes to resource utilization, therefore neither are resource hogs (or bloated). And according to task manager, PrivaZer uses a lot more RAM and CPU resources than CC. And BTW, the restore feature works - I tested it.ĬCleaner takes up a whole 77.2 MB on my disk.

Oh, and for sure, considering the fact Windows own Registry Editor (regedit) makes changes in real-time, and doesn't even have a backup feature, or offer to backup (or export) BEFORE making changes, I would much rather users use CCleaner, which does offer to backup the registry before making changes. Regardless, whenever messing with the Registry, either by a 3rd party utility, or via Registry Editor, one should always run a backup first. There is no reason to believe they wouldn't remove the Registry cleaner too if it caused problems. So Speccy removed that function and no longer reports that. But with many motherboards, the reported values were way off, reporting 6.2V for the 12V value as an illustrating example. For example, Speccy, their HW information applet, used to report PSU voltages as found on the motherboard. After upgrading from W7 to W10, or W10 to W11, once sure everything works, I will run the cleaner.Īnd for the record, Piriform also has a history of removing features that don't work correctly. So, for example, if I replace a NVIDIA graphics card with an AMD (or the other way around), I will run the cleaner after the installation to clean out all the crud left behind by the removed card. One caveat/qualification - I never use the registry cleaner to "fix" a broken computer - only to maintain it. And I never, not once had it brick a computer. While anecdotal, I personally have used CCleaner's Registry cleaner on 100s of different computers, likely more than a 1000s times. But still, many simply lump all Registry cleaners in one evil heap and that does CCleaners an injustice. In fact, if anything, some would suggest it is not aggressive enough. Yes, decades ago, some registry cleaner were reckless and way too aggressive. It is unreasonable to assume such a popular and useful tool that's been around that long would still be on the market (or, as an included feature) if that harmful as some suggest. CCleaner has been around for close to 20 years. Having the ability to keep specific cookies during cleanup is invaluable to me.Īnd for the record, the claim that CCleaner's Registry cleaner can be harmful is misleading and totally exaggerated too. If you believe CCleaner is unsafe, then you should use no 3rd party cleaning tool and just stick with Windows own Disk Cleanup. Rather, it was caused by the new owners of Piriform (Avast) sticking their noses in the mix without doing their homework first.


And it should be pointed out the issue that caused the most attention wasn't even caused by the developers of CCleaner (Piriform). And the problems were quickly addressed long ago. First and foremost, the few issues were minor, actually affected only a tiny number of the 10s of millions of users.
