What is the best computer cleaner, I have used cccleaner in the past, but wondered if there is anything better.  Thanks, Edna

About Cleaners
Try to look over the list. Please. 

The statement that registry cleaners do not improve computer performance is incorrect.  They don't do it by removing "registry bloat", because spurious registry entries will seldom or never exceed 1% of the total registry size anyway;  they do it by removing entries which are "toxic" or dysfunctional.
Example:  you might share a printer on a network.  The printer is uninstalled while your terminal is powered down.  When you reboot, your registry directs Windows to check up on the printer drivers.  They can't be found, of course, but the search will continue until it times out, which may take a minute or longer.  That's a minute extra on your boot time.  Every time.  There are a thousand examples of this kind which could be quoted, covering shutdown problems, stop errors, runtime errors, Shell32.dll errors...

That above post was really in favor of some cleaners.

I don;t see how a reference to a shared printer on a powered-down host is "toxic" or might need removing. dinkie, don't bother with so-called "cleaners".

The short story is that "Cleanup" and "tune-up" software doesn't do anything particularly useful that would improve performance beyond what you can do with windows built-in software such as Disk Cleanup. Even if there is software that performs that function and is by a reputable company, I've yet to see it.
