CCleaner, is it safe?

[TFT]

Tune up Utilities is good but to compare with CCleaner is totally unfair. Whilst TUU will do a lot more than CCleaner. CCleaner is a free privacy program that does what it says on the tin with a little initial input from you to get the program running as you like it. It's a privacy protection program after all.

If you want a program that

it takes the control of the computer

then go ahead. I much prefer me to be in control of my computer.

Woah, 173 views. I didn't think my post would get like this. I thought I was just asking a general question that would be answered in a single reply, or at the most three.

I gotta be more careful what I post next time!

Thanks for all the comments!

what's the problem for being viewed by 173 viewers? don't forget that a viewer has seen it many times. so don't think there are a lot viewers lol.
though i don't know where the problem is.

Um, it was a joke. I was being facetious about getting too many comments.

I think I agree with TFT on this one in the end. I much prefer to be the one in control. Don't take this the wrong way, but it looks like both of those programs perform actions that I already do.

For instance:
Clearing browser information? I do that.
Clearing index.dat files? Me again
Emptying the recycle bin??? Please
Deleting win log files and checkdisc fragments? Meeee too!

I don't know, they just seem like programs that are designed to do things that I can do. It just takes me a little longer to do all of those things.

I'm not knocking them though. I am sure that there are people that really need a program like these (For instance, those of you who responded). Maybe because of multiple systems running or power users. The time it would take to perform all those actions would seem to justify these programs. However, I only have a laptop and I really don't do very much with it right now. I usually do a little web site creation, and work with Word, Excel, Firefox and GTA SA.

(Want a funny thing to try? Calculate the factorial of 1,000,000 in the calculator. See how long it takes and watch task manager at the same time.)
