Features – Essential For PC Cleaning

Junk Cleaner – A good PC Cleaner and Optimizer

Junk Cleaner

Junk files, cache and cookies, extra language packs, and other unnecessary files take up your hard disk space. CleanMyPC knows exactly where to find these hidden files and how to delete them safely.  In a few clicks this ultimate PC optimizer and cleaner detect these unwanted files that slows down PCs performance.
Once you run this quick scan and fix all the identified problems you can get back a clean and optimized PC.

Registry Cleaner- Get the clutter out of your system

Registry Cleaner

One of the vital and most essential parts of the Windows system is Windows Registry. In simple words it is a computer’s ledger that stores information about each product installation, uninstallation and other activities performed on Windows operating systems. When it gets filled with trash, clutter, invalid entries, both software and OS take a lot of time to find the right data. Therefore, to decrease this time and to boost the system’s performance this clutter needs to be deleted.

This operation can be performed manually through a registry editor but there’s a risk, as deleting a wrong entry might make your operating system inoperable. Hence, the best way to do it is to use a Registry Cleaner. CleanMyPC offers an advanced registry cleaner that helps remove clutter and optimize registry.

Advanced Multi Uninstaller – Simple Way to Keep PC Clean and uninstall unwanted programs

Advanced Multi Uninstaller

So, you think by clicking on the uninstall button or by using an uninstaller you have successfully deleted all program traces? This is when you are wrong. Most uninstallers instead of removing all program traces leave behind cache and certain program files.

This is when CleanMyPC’s Multi Uninstaller comes to play. Using this advanced uninstaller, you can get rid of several apps at once and their leftovers. This module ensures all traces of the uninstalled software including invalid registry entries are removed when the program is uninstalled.

Autorun Startup Items – Speed up Boot time

Autorun Startup Items

Hate waiting for your PC to boot? The reason for this is autorun programs. For an average user identifying these programs isn’t easy as they automatically add to the system startup. But for CleanMyMac it’s like ABC.. This smart system optimization tool offers a module named Autorun. As the name explains this module looks for software or programs that automatically run at system boot time and slow down startup. Since, these programs put an extra load on system resources to lighten the load from your system without making any changes, disabling these unwanted startup items is a must.

CleanMyPC, Autorun module enlists all these items in a single click and helps users disable them, thereby boosting system speed on the next startup.

User Experience

Overall, the user experience CleanMyPc offers is amazingly pleasing. The amount of space this PC cleaner can recover is incredible. Junk files, cache, cookies, are the major reason for slowing down system performance. CleanMyPc detects and removes these files efficiently so that you won’t even get to know they existed.  Undoubtedly this is a reliable piece of Windows optimization software.
file shredder

Further, the PC cleaner and optimizer offers a hibernation tab for desktop users. Using it instead of saving the computer’s state in memory, desktop users will be able to save the computer’s state to the hard disk. This will help draw a minimal amount of power while not in use.

It also checks for unnecessary extensions by scanning the web browser to keep your online privacy intact. Above all it offers a file shredder, to delete files permanently ensuring they cannot be recovered.

Verdict

Despite its limited free version, MacPaw’s CleanMyPC is an amazing PC cleaner and optimizer. Those who are not an advanced user can use this tool easily to clean junk files, cache, cookies, and other unwanted data. Moreover, you can uninstall programs without leaving any traces and can even increase startup time by deleting unwanted startup items.

For advanced users to it has various modules like hibernation, secure delete, identifying and removing unnecessary extensions and more.
