CCleaner

[sweetangel22]

I read about ccleaner in a magazine and I wanted to know if anyone has used this computer program.

If anyone has used ccleaner than did you go to ccleaner.com to be able to download ccleaner. If you did go to ccleaner.com than how come when I tried going to ccleaner.com it went to www.piriform.com/ccleaner . If www.piriform.com/ccleaner is the correct website to download ccleaner from or one of the websites a person can download ccleaner from than let me know this.

I was wondering what anyone who has used ccleaner thought about this program after using it. Did ccleaner work as well as the website said it does? What I mean by does ccleaner work as well as the website says it does is did ccleaner do what the website said it does such as making your windows computer faster and to be able to do the things shown in the screenshots on www.piriform.com/ccleaner website.

When I went to screenshots on the website link I shared it mentioned the registry cleaner. I read years ago online that if a person doesn't know much about how the internal workings of a computer works the person shouldn't be deleting things from a computers registry.

Why would anyone want to delete any of the windows system restore points?

If ccleaner can also delete cookies on a computer than why would a member want to use ccleaner to delete cookies when a person can delete cookies on a computer faster by doing it through a web browser and not through a computer program such as ccleaner.

Does ccleaner let a person remove check marks from categories that a person doesn't want analyzed during a ccleaner scan so that way whatever wasn't analyzed will not be deleted?

Is ccleaner really free to use. I asked it it's free to use because I know someone who has download programs to a computer to try to fix a problem on a computer and the scans the programs did was free with the programs that were downloaded, but to remove what the scans found the person would have had to pay money so that is why I asked if ccleaner is free to delete things it finds from a computer.

Yes, www.piriform.com/ccleaner is the correct website to download Ccleaner.
Typing in Ccleaner.com sent you to the site probably to avoid typosquatting(a form of URL hijacking) they know most people will type that in the URL and the user is sent to the correct site. The site owners bought the domain name, so no other party can own it
For example if you type in ipod.com on your address bar it will go to apple.com

"When I went to screenshots on the website link I shared it mentioned the registry cleaner. I read years ago online that if a person doesn't know much about how the internal workings of a computer works the person shouldn't be deleting things from a computers registry."

Ccleaner just deletes random junk from the registry. It never effected my computer negatively before although there are always horror stories. I find a registry cleaner to not be that useful though. It is true that a user should not manually change their registry unless they know what they are doing

"Why would anyone want to delete any of the windows system restore points?"

I would only delete the restore points if malware corrupted it. It does happen with alot of malware to prevent the user from using system restore.

If ccleaner can also delete cookies on a computer than why would a member want to use ccleaner to delete cookies when a person can delete cookies on a computer faster by doing it through a web browser and not through a computer program such as ccleaner.

I have no idea


"Does ccleaner let a person remove check marks from categories that a person doesn't want analyzed during a ccleaner scan so that way whatever wasn't analyzed will not be deleted?"

Yes, you can uncheck anything that you do not want deleted

"Is ccleaner really free to use. I asked it it's free to use because I know someone who has download programs to a computer to try to fix a problem on a computer and the scans the programs did was free with the programs that were downloaded, but to remove what the scans found the person would have had to pay money so that is why I asked if ccleaner is free to delete things it finds from a computer."

Yes, it's free to use, and better than most of those paid programs. They do ask for optional donations though.

To the member I am quoting thank you for letting me know that www.piriform.com/ccleaner is the correct website to download Ccleaner.

To the member I am quoting how did you know about typosquatting to know that typosquatting probably is what happened when I typed ccleaner.com and that is why it went to a different website than what I had typed making me think I had gone to the wrong website where people can download Ccleaner.

To the member I am quoting thank you for giving your thoughts on the registry part of Ccleaner.

If Ccleaner just deletes random junk from the registry than how does one know that what Ccleaner is deleting from a computer registry is safe to be deleting.

To the member I am quoting what did you mean by malware in the following thing you said. What I am asking is what is malware.-I would only delete the restore points if malware corrupted it. It does happen with alot of malware to prevent the user from using system restore.

I am glad to know that Ccleaner will allow a person to uncheck anything they don't want deleted.

I was wondering is the only way not to have something deleted is by not having a category in Ccleaner be analyzed.

I was wondering is it safe to delete anything Ccleaner finds if a member doesn't uncheck a check mark in a Ccleaner category of what Ccleaner will analyze.

Does Ccleaner allow a prson to read the names of each item it found and wants a person to delete before a person deletes what Ccleaner found when doing a scan?

Your welcome

To the member I am quoting how did you know about typosquatting to know that typosquatting probably is what happened when I typed ccleaner.com and that is why it went to a different website than what I had typed making me think I had gone to the wrong website where people can download Ccleaner.


Typosquatting is an example of what happens if someone who doesn't own the product has the domain name of the product. It's what piriform is trying to avoid by buying the ccleaner.com domain name
For example, typosquatting is if Microsoft owned the domain name ipod.com and redirected to zune.com. That would probably be illegal though


If Ccleaner just deletes random junk from the registry than how does one know that what Ccleaner is deleting from a computer registry is safe to be deleting.

Personally I don't know much about registry cleaners, and I don't really use them. Usually a computer slowdown is caused by other sources. There are certain horror stories on the internet about all registry cleaners(computer crashing, etc.). I tried it, and my computer was fine though, but it didn't improve either.
I would say that the registry cleaner isn't necessary.

To the member I am quoting what did you mean by malware in the following thing you said. What I am asking is what is malware.-I would only delete the restore points if malware corrupted it. It does happen with alot of malware to prevent the user from using system restore.

Malware is the general term for viruses, spyware, etc. I would only worry about the system restore if a computer was infected.


I am glad to know that Ccleaner will allow a person to uncheck anything they don't want deleted.

Yes, it's useful

I was wondering is the only way not to have something deleted is by not having a category in Ccleaner be analyzed.

The analyzed option is to check what will be deleted if you decide to run the cleaner. Nothing will be deleted if you analyze.

I was wondering is it safe to delete anything Ccleaner finds if a member doesn't uncheck a check mark in a Ccleaner category of what Ccleaner will analyze.

The cleaner is pretty safe, and the default checked items are usually junk items that the cleaner recommends to delete.

Does Ccleaner allow a prson to read the names of each item it found and wants a person to delete before a person deletes what Ccleaner found when doing a scan?

Yes, make sure you use analyze. It will show a list of items that it would delete if you ran the cleaner. If you double click on a item it shows a bunch of files that it will delete.
Also you can keep certain cookies you would like to keep by going to options>cookies and move cookies to the "keep cookies" section

To the member I am quoting why would someone own a domain name without the product.

What is a domain name? Is squishycash.com considered a domain name and if squishycash.com is a domain name than does this mean nobody else can use squishycash as part of a website URL if they want a .com website, but if they used .org or .net after the word squishycash than they would be able to use the domain name squishycash if squishycash hasn't been used already with .org or .net
If I am wrong on what a domain name is than let me know this.

In the following thing I was told why would anyone want to own a domain name that would redirect to the wrong domain name-For example, typosquatting is if Microsoft owned the domain name ipod.com and redirected to zune.com. That would probably be illegal though

To the member I am quoting are you saying that a person shouldn't need to analyze a computers registry when doing a Ccleaner analyze scan.

Is the restore points on a Windows computer analyzed with Ccleaner or the restore points part of Ccleaner is done a different way if a person wanted to delete any restore points

I wa told the following. Why would a person want to keep certain cookies from being deleted? Is the options>cookies only in the Ccleaner program.-Also you can keep certain cookies you would like to keep by going to options>cookies and move cookies to the "keep cookies" section

If a person analyzed everything that Ccleaner will allow a person to analyze and a person saw one or more things that are not cookies that they didn't want be deleted than can the person decide to not have those things deleted when the person runs the cleaner.

To the member I am quoting why would someone own a domain name without the product.

It's a frowned on practice. It's used to steal traffic from the person who owns the product. These people usually send you to a website with a bunch of sponsored links for money.

If I am wrong on what a domain name is than let me know this.

A domain name is what you type on your URL bar to get to a site. Yes, Squishycash.com is a domain name. Squishycash pays to get this domain name, and no one else can own it. Yes, if someone gets the .org or .net domain name of Squishycash then the other party does own it, but .com is much more valuable. It's more valuable because more people use .com. I don't believe SquishyCash owns the .net or .org domain names.


In the following thing I was told why would anyone want to own a domain name that would redirect to the wrong domain name-For example, typosquatting is if Microsoft owned the domain name ipod.com and redirected to zune.com. That would probably be illegal though

Usually it's just sent to a site with a bunch of ads. The example I provided before would be unusual. Microsoft could profit from owning ipod.com if they owned it by sending it to zune.com and making the costumer reconsider buying zune instead.

To the member I am quoting are you saying that a person shouldn't need to analyze a computers registry when doing a Ccleaner analyze scan.

This is only a opinion that I share with some people who say it isn't really necessary. The registry cleaner is free though, and shouldn't hurt the computer.


I wa told the following. Why would a person want to keep certain cookies from being deleted? Is the options>cookies only in the Ccleaner program.-Also you can keep certain cookies you would like to keep by going to options>cookies and move cookies to the "keep cookies" section

Cookies are sometimes used to save login information of websites and you are logged in automatically. If you delete cookies from certain sites you have to type it in again. It's only if you want to save login information.

If a person analyzed everything that Ccleaner will allow a person to analyze and a person saw one or more things that are not cookies that they didn't want be deleted than can the person decide to not have those things deleted when the person runs the cleaner.

Yes, the cleaner will tell you what they found, and you can look at the certain thing and uncheck it from being deleted.

I've used CCleaner in the past and would recommend it.

Does anyone know if it costs more than $100 to own a domain name?

I was wondering if anyone knows why when I go to different parts of SquishyCash the website URL will tell me in part of the website URL what part of SqushyCash's website I am on?

Yes, the cleaner will tell you what they found, and you can look at the certain thing and uncheck it from being deleted.

To the member I am quoting why do more people use .com than .org and .net and when you said more people use .com than .org and .net are you talking about most people who own a website usually own a .com website and not a .org or .net website.

I am glad to know the following. I am glad to know that a person doesn't have to delete everything the cleaner finds when it analyzes a computer.-Yes, the cleaner will tell you what they found, and you can look at the certain thing and uncheck it from being deleted.

As for domain names, .com's would attract more traffic, no?

To the member I am quoting why do more people use .com than .org and .net and when you said more people use .com than .org and .net are you talking about most people who own a website usually own a .com website and not a .org or .net website.

I'm not too sure, but I think .com websites are more popular because most people are used to seeing and hearing about .com more than .org or .net.

As for domain names, .com's would attract more traffic, no?

Yes, I believe alot of people like clicking on .com links more.

I decided to download CCleaner on July 15, 2010 and I wanted to know if anyone knows any of the answers to the following below.

When I clicked on Cleaner there is a Windows and Applications section under Cleaner?

Here are things I wanted to know under Windows.

What is Index.dat files?

Why would anyone want to delete anything from Recent Documents and Run (in Start Menu) by doing this through CCleaner?

What is Last Download Location, Other Explorer MRUs, Memory Dumps and Windows Log Files?

Here are things I wanted to know under Applications.

I see under FireFox/Mozilla Internet Cache and I was wondering what Internet Cache is.

Why would anyone want to delete anything under Applications which is under FireFox/Mozilla on the computer I downloaded CCleaner to?

Why would anyone want to delete anything under Utilities and under Windows?

When I clicked on Registry it shows a list of items under Registry Integrity and I was wondering what Missing Shared DLLS is, what are File Extensions, what are Active X and Class Issues, what is Type Libraries, what is Application Paths, what is Start Menu Ordering and what is MUI Cache.

When I clicked on Tools I see that there is a Run Uninstaller and I was wondering what Run Uninstaller is.

I wonder why CCleaner will allow a person to Rename Entry. I didn't know a person could rename any program that was downloaded to a computer.

Is Delete Entry used to delete any programs from the Programs to Remove list under Tools.

Why would anyone want to click on Save to text file and what is Save to text file used for?

How come some things under Cleaner and under Registry already have a check mark in the box to the left of certain items and some don't have a check mark in box to the left of certain items, but a person can manually put a check mark in the box themselves for items that don't have a check mark in the box to the left of those items?

As far as GPT goes, there are two items you should be mostly concerned about in CCleaner: "cookies" and "internet cache (aka "temporary internet files.") You want to tick them to help improve credit ratio for either IE or FF or whatever IB you're using.

Tick "index.dat files" if you tick "temporary internet files."

To the member I am quoting or to anyone else who reads this post I was wondering if anyone knows why some internet browsers say cache and some say temporary internet files if both of these are the same thing and internet browsers don't all say cache or all say temporary internet files.

I was wondering if anyone knows why clearing temporary inernet files in Ccleaner or by clearing or deleting cache or temporary internet files by doing it in a internet browser may help improve credit ratio.

Just so others know I rarely delete temporary internet files in IE and I am still able to get credited for offers on the SquishyCash website.

To the member I am quoting why should a person click on "index.dat files" if the person clicked on "temporary internet files" in Ccleaner? I still don't know what "index.dat files is for.
