You're looking at it right now, it's called CCleaner. It is available at ccleaner.com right now. It is what I believe to be absolutely the best maintenance software for your computer, whether you have a laptop or a desktop.
So basically, what the software does is help you maintain a very, very clean computer. Whether you're editing your registry or using their cleanup tools to disable startup programs or just using the cleaner to just disable things or remove things that have been accumulated in your PC over time.
For example, if we stay under the Cleaner tab, uh, you can see under Internet Explorer when we hit run cleaner, it's going to clean out all the things that are checked. So right now, it's going to clean out a lot of internet explorer, a lot of Windows Explorer cache, a lot of cash other things like that. Clean up desktop shortcuts that are unused.
You can clean up a lot of things that you don't feel like leaving on your computer when you shut down. This is actually software that I actually do run on every single computer I have before I shut it down. It's absolutely critical.
So, you can either clean stuff under Windows or under Applications. So, under Apps, you can see you can clear all the things under Opera, all things under Safari, a whole bunch of things under Firefox, which I actually do like although I do leave uh form information unchecked.
Uh, clean up Chrome, clean up clean up uh all these other different applications and once you've done this, instead of just hitting analyze, you can hit and run cleaner, and it'll go ahead and analyze and then run. I'll just go ahead and analyze to show you. It'll go ahead and analyze your entire computer.
This won't take very long if your hard drive is fast or if you have a solid state drive. And once you're done with that, you can see all the things that will be cleaned, and that's a good amount of files. You can see, you'll probably remove about 47.2 megabytes just from using my computer for a few hours.
Go ahead and hit run cleaner and clean out those 47 megabytes of files that you don't need, which is very, very nice. So, I do run this every single time I shut down my computer.
Another thing CCleaner does as you can tell is clean out your registry now. It is called CCleaner because it's built to clean your C drive, which is basically what it was meant to do but it does have a registry cleaner.
And you can check every single thing for it to go through your registry to look for installer files that you don't need anymore unused fonts different things that are in your cache that you don't need and obsolete software and all sorts of things that you don't need on your computer anymore that are just active, messing up with your registry.
Your registry is actually what keeps your computer really, really fast and if you have a good solid state drive and you keep your computer organized, your registry won't get messed up as easily. So go ahead and check everything and hit scan for issues.
And you're going to see a whole lot of things that you you either don't need or don't want on your computer. Unused file extensions etc. This is really cool to have or to know about. Go ahead and hit fix selected issues, fix all selected issues, and just like that instantly, you saw in the background all eight issues were just fixed.
Which is really nice and you can actively maintain your registry this way. Now being that we're also on a netbook at the moment, you're also going to want to go into tools and just go ahead and take some of the things off of the startup folder.
You don't really want a whole lot of things starting with your PC. So if you go under Startup, you'll be able to see all the things that do start with your computer. I've kind of minimized minimized it already. I'm going ahead and right click and disable anything that I don't want starting with my computer.
Uh there are a whole lot of things that you might not actually want starting with your computer that will actually save you a lot of time in terms of startup times and especially with a solid state drive, you'll get the most out of this. Go ahead and make sure you've gone through all that.
You can also uninstall applications you don't use very quickly through CCleaner as well. So that's just a basic overview of CCleaner. If you have any questions about it, you can first visit ccleaner.com and if you have any quick questions, you can leave a comment or message me through YouTube and I'll try to get back to you as quickly as possible.
