CCleaner_LogoPersonal computers have been around since the 80’s and most of us have been using them for at least 10 to 15 years.  You would think that, by now, operating systems and hardware would have evolved to the point where they were self-sufficient.  Unfortunately we are not there yet.  That’s just around the corner, along with flying cars that run on water.  Until then,  we must administer our own regular maintenance, which is something that we have written about many times here at JumpstartMyPC.com.  One of the tools that we recommend for this regular maintenance is CCleaner (available on our Tools page).

“CCleaner is a freeware system optimization, privacy and cleaning tool. It removes unused files from your system – allowing Windows to run faster and freeing up valuable hard disk space.
