[QUOTE="ChoiceVoice, post: 800038, member: 28876"] why would you feel suspicious of ccleaner? it's owned by avast antivirus. and it has a very long and trusted pre-avast reputation. i like the portable myself and find it does what i need for a clean. it's registry cleaner is light and has never hurt my system in decades of use (and combines well with it's uninstaller to find leftovers). i also find it useful for giving me control of my context-menu. i hate when programs have to mess with my right click button to add themselves to the menu. you can easily remove these entries under startup controls (and that is not an easy feature to find anywhere). but yeah, bleachbit is good. but i find ccleaner doesn't mess up my browser extensions. other cleaners frequently do (so you have to resign into lastpass or WOT, or you lose your personalized settings for your adblocker). oh, but make sure, in ccleaner, you go into settings and turn off the "run ccleaner when computer starts". and under advanced, uncheck the `skip user account control warning'. those two are bothersome, but it is easy to turn them off.
