What I'm looking for?

Looking for minimum feedback.

Need some suggestions from you guys.

The latest version of CCleaner is just horrible. Although I use the portable version, can someone suggest me an alternative that works well without causing any issues? Or is MS PC Manager fine by itself?

I also need suggestions regarding a good password manager than can work in iOS, PC and Android concurrently and can sync the passwords and usernames in the cloud. KeePass is only good for my PC.

To be honest i dislike all pc manager/ cleanup tools , can you tell me why people in overall are using these , just shower thought :unsure:

Anyways bitwarden is available for many platforms and i have used it for years without any problems

Bitwarden and Lastpass seem to be my options and between these Bitwarden seems to be the better choice. Ditched CCleaner and opted for Privazer. Thanks for the suggestion mate. :emoji_beer:

I stopped using CCleaner a while ago and switched to Glary Utilities. I find it convenient because it brings several options together in one package, though of course that’s just my humble opinion. I’m sure other members here with more experience can suggest better or lighter alternatives. 😉

I had used GU in the past but it was around 10 years ago. I’ll give it another shot then. Thanks for the suggestion mate.

Privazer is better choice than ccleaner definitely. I just decided to not use any cleaner software, after i installed iobit from MalwareTips giveaway thread. It broke my hdd completely back in day and first time i got to buy new ssd , but thats like 5 years ago.

MS PC Manager is good if you prefer it, and it's sufficient if you don't want to clean the system registry. I personally don't like it and prefer Reg Organizer over it.

For a password manager, the best free options available that sync online are Bitwarden and Proton Pass.

Are you sure that it was the software? I’ve had some cases where a software corrupted my OS and I had to reinstall Windows or restore from a backup but I’ve never had a case where the hardware itself got damaged from a software.

Sure i might be wrong, but im not to blame iobit here. HDD was running fine, then i just installed iobit suite, ran cleanup, then defrag and booted pc wich never could boot again because of HDD being dead, i went right to shop and bought new sdd :cry:

but if something works for you, then it works, same with the software. I just avoid any software that i dont really need, and trying to littlebit get into '' less is more'' mood. I have pretty much cut off my social media, apps i really dont need and i have only kaspersky, browser, vpn, adguard + few games on pc thats all nowadays. I dont think i personally need any kind of system utilities or tools. Might be also dependant of the computer specs. I have used privazer on my old laptop in the past , but on gaming rig i avoid those cleanup, utility, booster tools.

Just my thoughts, im not tech savvy person im just having my own opinion :unsure:
 
Did you try a reinstall of Windows with a bootable USB? The symptoms you mentioned are of an OS crash, not a hardware failure. But you’re right that any system utility that touches the registry is a gamble.
My father probably did as i gave hdd to him and he tried to get it work, but unfortunaly we didnt get it to work again. Well i have learned bit from those days, and would dig it deeper nowadays if similar happened. Also i can always request help from MalwareTips ;)
