Get Rid Of CCleaner
If you have been using computers for the past 15 years you have either heard of “Crap Cleaner” or CCleaner. CCleaner has been around since 2003 and it was introduced to us in the computer industry as “Crap Cleaner”. After this software was on the market for a few years the developers decided to take out the word “Crap” out and make it sound more professional and call it CCleaner.
I personally used this software for many years to clean up customers home computers. This free software utility was good for cleaning up temp files and fixing registry error’s with just pushing a couple of buttons. For many, it did make a difference in how their computers ran and the nice thing it was absolutely free and the software did not have pop-ups built into the software.
Then issues started to arise when the newer versions of CCleaner was downloaded the new version started to run in the background in order to measure and monitor how the computer is running. CCleaner wants to keep all the old temp files out of your computer and to keep the registry file in order for the computer to run at top speed. The issue is the more programs that are running in the background only slows down your system. You need to make sure that all the icons in the lower right-hand corner of your computer screen is minimal. These little icons in the corner are all the programs that are running behind the scenes slowing down your system.
When the developers of CCleaner turned over leadership to Avast roughly a year ago CCleaner is not the same as it was years ago. For example, CCleaner uses to have a way to turn it off manually so the program would not run in the background. Today the software does not have this option, you do not have any option to disable the software in the newer versions. One other issue that you do not want CCleaner on your computer is that the new version also has pop-up advertising that takes over your computer.
The issues with the new CCleaner outweighs the good it is to be. To remove CCleaner from your computer is not hard. Basically just go into the control panel then open the settings button and find CCleaner and click on un-install.
