I'm a newbie!!

CCleaner ?
If I were to use it, what benefit would I gain?
What does it really fix?

Hello friend!! It fixes nothing. It cleans clutter and temps from your PC ect. As I have clearly stated in other posts. I'm a long way from being a garu. I read a lot of malware fighters posts, just to see if I can learn any thing new. Several of those posts state that malware and other infections choose these kinds of places to hide and do their dirty work. Can I prove that? No sir I can't. I like to keep my PC clutter free as possible and so I'm a big fan of CCleaner and I always recommend it to all my friends, young and old.
Thanks for your comment.
PS I have never been infected that I know of, so I think I will continue doing the same things I have always done, until some one can convince me to do other wise. I only use 29.5 Gigs(Windows7 and a few Apps. that I use nearly every day) on a 600 Gig HD. I keep my PC as clean as I know how. I have back up images of my OS on two different external HD's where I also keep other things I don't wish to lose.
garybear! PS I have started all over with a brand new OS more times than I care to remember. It's not that much fun any more, so I'm very through about keeping a up dated back up image of my OS.
Thanks again for your comment!

I only recommend one APP. for seniors and that's CCleaner

I fully support CCleaner but you're making a mistake by not recommending apps such as an anti-virus program and a spyware/malware removal program.  Senior citizens should also understand the importance of a firewall.

Hello friend!! You are sure keeping me busy answering all these reply's. CCleaner is not the only App. I recommend. I always ask what they are using for anti-virus, and I always recommend they keep what ever anti-virus they feel safe with ;excluding Norton. I also recommend Microsoft Security Essentials and MBAM in real time. The new MSE has a good firewall and a wireless router is added protection with a good firewall. I will have my members down load MBAM & SAS to run on demand after my computer club is formed. I will also recommend WOT as a safe way to surf the net.
I thank you for your reply soybean! I have given my senior citizen club a lot of thought, but your comments are always welcome. Thank you sir!!

Hello !! This is the best I could come up with on Google search!!
Sorry wrong thread! I got to much going on for an old man.

OK, I don't think it matters at all.
But I also believe everybody is entitled to express an opinion.
Rather that yet another  blog post about  how great C cleaner is supposed to be, here is a lucid video from some fast-talking youngster that could get a job as a used card salesman.
