CCleaner v2.0 Beta

[Wiggles]

For all you people who use CCleaner, v2.0 Beta has been released.

Here's the change log:

Complete rebuild in C++
With the requirements for a portable version, 64-bit compatibility and Windows Vista increasing against the limitations of the old architecture. We decided to rebuild the entire CCleaner application in highly optimized C++.

Faster analyzing and cleaning
Each scanning process was rewritten from scratch and fully optimized. The result being a noticeable speed increase in all areas.

Portable
CCleaner can now run from a USB thumbdrive and be installed/run on a computer without a complicated setup process.

Compact
The rewrite removed all external file dependencies, so the main EXE is now half the size of the original program and support files.

Redesigned User Interface
The original CCleaner user interface was looking a little dated, so the GUI was redesigned with a modern look, but without sacrificing speed or usability. New icons were created for the interface and the main program icon was updated with a more modern style.

Exclusions
It is now possible to specify files, folders and registry keys to ignore from the cleaning process.

Loads of little tweaks
Too numerous to mention them all separately, we've tried to improve CCleaner in all areas.

Wiggles, does CCleaner offer any advantage over other appplications, for example Registry Mechanic? I've never used it (CCleaner) or are familiar with it.

Here are some reasons why CCleaner is the best choice...

Freeware
CCleaner is 100% Free! No Spyware, No Adware, No Viruses. Certified by Softpedia
Check out the prices of other Disk Cleaners. Prices range from $4.99-$49.99.

CCleaner cleans much more
Most Disk Cleaners (Shareware) will just scan your C: drive for certain file extensions (common file types, temp., logs, memory dumps, and backup files).
CCleaner cleans them plus applications, 150+ applications...
CCleaner is careful about not removing important files.
It cleans useless junk, not files that could "possibly" effect Windows or other applications.
CCleaner's cleaning speed is just remarkable compared to other Disk Cleaners.

User ability
You don't have to push 5 buttons to change a setting or change the cleaning options.
Just a simple checkbox to check or uncheck an application you want to clean or not.
Plus, a big Run Cleaner button.

Supports many languages.
The ability to add new/more programs to CCleaner with no programming knowledge, just basic Windows knowledge will do.

Look
Doesn't have any ads, splash screen, or fancy graphics that aren't nesscary for the program.

Registry
CCleaner even has a built-in Registry Cleaner.
It's not the best (not CCleaner's main function), but it will find invaild registry entries that most Registry Cleaners will not.
Unlike the Disk Cleaners with a Registry Cleaner, CCleaner does really fast scanning for Registry Issues.
The reason is CCleaner doesn't want to effect Windows performance or effect any applications. It's better to be safe than sorry!

Updated
CCleaner is updated regularly with new features, fixes, new applications, and so on.
With winapp2.ini, you can update CCleaner with new applications almost daily!

Security
CCleaner has secure file erasing. By overwriting the files before deleting them, making it impossible to recover the data. It has simple, DoD, and NSA standards.

Support
Support is outstanding for CCleaner.
There are a bunch of very smart and talented people in the Forums, if they can't fix your CCleaner (or anything else for that matter) problems, the developer of the program will try to help you out.

Convinced?

Hey, no problem guys.
I just want other people to know how good it is and because it is free!

Though not a computer cleaner, Anti-SpyWare software is somewhat related. Here you can find a list of the 10-best anti-spyware available: http://anti-spyware-review.toptenreviews.com/.

[Blackmatter]

This one's my fav app !

[Wiggles]

Glad to hear Blackmatter and welcome to Vista Babble!
This is my favourite app as well.

i tested the trial but it was very limited, from what i gathered it seems like a handy little app.

[felix8406]

I just wonder sometimes if registry cleaners are not just a waste of times. You can download two or three different cleaners and they all can report different number of issues. Some report so many problems (perhaps just to lure a buyer) that one must wonder if it's safe to let the program fix them.

I was just looking at this thread and you said its Certified by Softpedia word of advice don't always turst them you can find all sorts on their but this file is ok. Its True BTW felix thats what happends I think I heard about it on TV once to my all this reg tweak progs and clean up your PC things are some form of malware (inculding ad) however if you me u know which are real lol.

[Snuffy]

I use two different REG CLEANERS both written by MVP's.
Both work exceptionally well. but like all programs if you do not reboot after the use... then the holes are still in memory .... after running, so REBOOT after using...
