There's an uninstaller, startup manager, browser plugin manager, system restore and drive wiper. Under Tools, you can find many other tools to clean and speed up your PC more. While we don't recommend cleaning your registry, again, CCleaner is very conservative, and I've never had an issue after thousands of uses. There are drive cleaners out there that can clear more space if needed, but they aren't as safe as CCleaner. The drive cleaner and registry cleaner are both conservatives. The third tab shows you what is happening and what was done. The second tab lets you choose any settings before you run it. CCEnhancer can extend the cleaning capabilities of CCleaner.ĬCleaner uses the same familiar three-tab interface it always has, with the first tab showing you the main choices, including Cleaner, Registry, Tools, and Options. Not super good with technology so not sure if this is actually relevant to the possible problems ccleaner might have caused or not but figured it could be helpful for others to know.CCleaner is an easy-to-use, safe, well-known drive cleaner with other additional features, including a conservative registry cleaner, startup manager, and more. Is there anything else I should be doing? Have I screwed up my computer? Do I have to do a clean install of Windows? Thank you all for your help!Įdit: Also used System File Checker to scan/repair files and registry keys, lead to some corrupted files and registry keys being successfully repaired. I only used Ccleaner’s basic “health check” function which claims to only clean web browser files and recycle bin/temp system/temp application files, and didn’t touch the other tabs (like the registry “cleaner”, etc.) Games and other things seem to work fine currently.
Realized soon after that it could mess with my system registry, and uninstalled it + used a system restore point. I was foolish and didn’t check anywhere else or any other threads about the reputability and safety (or lack thereof) of ccleaner. Decided to uninstall it and some of the only info on it I found was a super old thread from here with multiple people suggesting ccleaner.
This morning I found Adaware Web Companion on my PC, most likely from installing bittorrent or something similar a year or two back.
