  • Using Ccleaner to Maintain Your Windows System
    Using CCleaner to Maintain Your Windows System Ronald Ross [email protected] Today we’re going to have a look at what I consider to be a very useful Windows maintenance utility. I’m talking about CCleaner, which is put out by Piriform. As is usual for many free software packages, there are also professional versions which you have to pay for, and which pays the bills so that we can enjoy a free version. You can download CCleaner at: http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner We will go through the download and install process, and then point out many of the useful features that CCleaner offers. After downloading the binary, go ahead and run the install. We are going to run this on Windows XP, but CCleaner is fully supported on Windows 7. Click Run, and the install begins, followed by the first install choice, which language to use. Select the language of choice, and click OK. At this point, the install can begin. Click Next to continue. Have a look at the license, and if you decide to continue, click on “I Agree”. Here is where it gets more interesting. Make the choices in the Install Options that suit your tastes. I don’t much care for shortcuts cluttering up my desktop, for example, but you may feel differently. Click Install or Advanced to continue. Here, we are going to click Advanced, which will take us to the next panel. Usually the default for this install option is best, but perhaps you are sharing this computer with a child, or some other person that you don’t fully trust to always do the right thing when it comes to computers.

    in association with CCleaner , faster: proven! How optimized business endpoints boost productivity and save IT time and money CCleaner Defraggler Built for small businesses, big businesses and service providers. E: [email protected] www.piriform.com/business T: 001-800-816-9004 (toll free) Our business software was built to take the strain off your IT department. Cleaning and defragmenting PCs probably isn’t at the top of your agenda. We know that. You probably know that you should do it but it’s time consuming and with resources constantly under strain, it seems to be a bottom-of-the-list task which you never get around to doing. Or at least not until the support tickets come in. This is why we invented CCleaner and Defraggler. Automated cleaning and defragmenting means your IT department spends less time on basic maintenance and end users work on better performing machines, without the constant threat of low disk space. We believe our software is a win-win solution for any businesses using PCs. But of course we’d say that, which is why we asked Passmark, a third-party software testing specialist, to put our software through its paces. In this report we’ve highlighted Passmark’s main findings.
