On the upside, you can schedule cleaning times so that CCleaner handles the cleaning and repair tasks at specified times. I dislike downloading these additional apps, but it may not be a big deal to you.

Likewise, Defraggler Professional Edition (a hard drive defragmenter) and Speccy Professional Edition (an app that gives you at-a-glance information about your PC's CPU, Motherboard, RAM, and components) are Professional Plus tools that aren't baked directly into CCleaner, either. I wish it were actually integrated into CCleaner Professional Plus, because the separate app gives the tune-up experience a splintered feel.

Instead, CCleaner is bundled with Recuva, a standalone program that lets you resurrect deleted files.

If your PC is anything like my gunked-up testbed, a cleaning can result in several gigabytes of reclaimed storage.ĬCleaner Professional Plus lacks a general backup, though there is a registry-specific backup feature for when you run the registry-repair tool. A related feature, real-time system monitoring, alerts you when you can save disk space by running CCleaner, which is useful. Doing so causes CCleaner to display how much hard drive space it has freed up. After that, you click Run Cleaner or Fix Selected Issues to finish the job. Regardless of the section you need to clean or repair, you begin by initiating a system scan to identify problem areas. For example, Temporary Internet Files are now described as 'Files left behind when you visit websites.' If you don't need this type of handholding, CCleaner's original cleaning screen-now renamed Custom Clean-is still available. You simply click the large Analyze button to begin the cleaning process, instead of checking/unchecking Windows' various folders and applications (which is a potentially intimidating task for the uninitiated).Įasy Clean walks you through the cleaning process in everyday language, so that non-technical users better understand what files are being cleaned and why. The new Easy Clean section boasts a simplified view that makes it incredibly easy and to remove junk files, website trackers, and browser history information in quick fashion. The newest CCleaner has a feature set that isn't radically different from the previous version's, but it does have a major interface change. Additionally, CCleaner Professional Plus manages to best Windows 10's tools in a few ways that I'll highlight in this review's Performance Improvements section. The upside? The tools are free and effective! The downside? The tools are a bit scattered across different operating system areas and lack some of the extra features found in third-party tools.

More on those in a bit.Īs noted earlier Windows 10 includes a handful of built-in tune-up utilities that you may want to check out if you don't want to spend money on third-party software. The top-of-the-line Professional Plus (reviewed here) is a $39.95 application that adds three standalone apps for hard drive defragmentation, file recovery, and PC spec viewing.

The $24.95 Professional plan builds on the free option by offering more thorough computer cleaning, real-time system monitoring, automatic history cleaning, and automatic software updates. It has basic PC-cleaning capabilities, as well as privacy-protection tools that let you delete cookies, passwords, and other related browser files. The free version is, as you'd expect, the least feature-packed option. Piriform has corrected the problem in subsequent CCleaner releases. Still, Iolo System Mechanic remains the category's Editors' Choice due to its thorough cleaning tools and unlimited licenses.Įditors' Note: This is PCMag's first CCleaner review since the tune-up utility suffered malware-related issues in 2017. CCleaner is pricier than Windows 10's free, integrated tune-up tools, but it comes in at a lower price than some competing products, offers features that dramatically improved our testbed's boot time, and is easy enough to use that it's worth the investment. It boasts many system-enhancing features, including a registry repairer and real-time system monitoring, as well as extra features like privacy protection and drive-wiping tools.

Piriform's CCleaner Professional Plus is one of many tune-up utilities capable of giving a heavily used PC a new shot at life.

Performance improvement not as large as the competition's in some areas.
