CCleaner used to be used by everyone, but it has had quite the fall from grace. From being bought out, to having hackers put malware in it’s executable. There are so many issues with the present day ccleaner that we need to go over. .

C – C – Cleaner…. is actually CCleaner. Thanks internet.
After you use the cleaner function for your browser go and check your history. You'll find that it is still there in all it's revealing glory. Also, go ahead and uninstall an app and then go right back into CCleaner itself and presto!, the app or progam is still there and working perfectly. CCleaner congratulates itself on sucessfully uninstalling an app which it did not uninstall. There are words for this kind of application that I cannot type here. Consider them spoken(under my breath) I won't characterize my feelings about CCleaner but only state the facts concerning my useage of it. I have the paid version.

Don't risk your money thinking CCleaner will work to debloat your Windows system disk any better than the manager built into Windows because it won't. Even if you're thinking the paid version must be better ? Beware, they will not give you any kind partial refund. The laws need to change to protect the consumer from these shady business practices. They offered me 30% on my renewal subscription. Are you kidding me? It sucked and it didn't work the first time, why would I renew. So, the paid version isn't any better than the free version and that version isn't better that what M.S has built in. In my opinion, don't even waste your time and effort with the free one. They just want you to think the paid version must be much better, as they take your money and not give you a penny back, no matter what. Let me ask you, is this a good business practice? Delete the free version and never pay for the pro version. If you thinking, who am I for you to trust ? Go ahead but, don't say I didn't try to warn you that this a very shady but legal way of ripping you off. When I contact the support team, I could tell by the response that they didn't even read my concern to request a refund ( which I wasn't about to hold my breath) but nicely asked them to send me confirmation that my account was to be closed, do not renew, and cancel my existing subscription, as I already deleted the software off my PC. I'm disappointed to say, it was just some generic computer generated response sent to all unhappy customer. Since we're talking about shady services, I was with NordVPN and thought I'd try another service, big mistake. The company was Total VPN and even though they had a no nonsense 30 day refund policy, after 4 or 5 days of trying it. I decided to go back to Nord, but was only able to get a partial refund from TotalVPN after a I had to put up with a wrath of computer questions about what programs I use, what browser I was using, after telling them I wasn't asking for tech support I just wasn't happy and read they had a no hassle policy for a refund…. yeah right, it was still like pulling teeth, I was actually getting annoyed with the support dude. I told him this needs to stop ! I settled for a partial refund, I had enough. Yes, I think I've had enough b.s. dealing with shady companies. It stops here today, I'm done giving away my money. Refresh the build if you wanna debloat windows then be careful what you install and where, after that's all done.
i've finally gave up with it, i thought it would really optimize my pc and accelarate it….but, i got tired of ads and stuff…..it's like having an annoying guest.
I still dont get why CCleaner is bad now?
12:11 "I see C – C – Cleaner" 😂
I used to like Crap Cleaner way back in the XP days. Haven't used Windows since then, and as a result haven't use CCleaner either. As a heavy user of multiple web browsers at the time, unless I kept my browser cache in check and/or kept defragmenting constantly, the piece of shit that is NTFS would start to noticeably slow down and audibly start thrashing my system drive in no time.
Switching to Linux has since eliminated most of the problems I used CCleaner for. And to make it even worse, with an SSD combined with modern processor speeds and large amounts of RAM, I honestly no longer see any use for something like CCleaner at all any more on a modern system–even Windows. If an SSD could make a bloated old Windows 10 installation go from a few minutes booting to less than a minute even with all its bloat, the minor speedups CCleaner might have done years ago by effectively cutting down of fragmentation through routinely clearing browser cache are effectively nothing now. It has been obsoleted by much more powerful hardware.
It was ok back in the days of small hard drives and the messy windows xp era, a bit redundant these days.
The fact that u say c c cleaner makes me not trust ur info bro…
Stopped using since W10. I used a lot back in WindowsXP and Windows7 days from time to time when i had a sht pc with an HDD.
I'm still using CCleaner and should I stop using it just because some random dude on the internet says so.. nah, I don't think so ðŸ˜
My CCleaner runs a task that minimizes everything i have on fullscreen. Everytime i start my PC, CCleaner create one task called crashhandler, that crashhandler work in a very… funny way. It runs once per day and when it does, it opens a command prompt and closes it VERY fast, you can barely see it, and everything that was fullscreen on the time it opened gets minimized. Everytime i start my PC i have to go to Task Scheduler and delete that damn task.
Any app recommendations for finding, comparing and removing duplicate files?
TIL about winget
Been using it sadly on a bunch of PC’s, I use autoruns to chop out all of its processes after running it, and admittedly I’ve been cleaning the registry with it. I kinda like doing that after gutting windows of edge, OneDrive, and all of its bloat, and to be fair a mix of that with DISM and SFC has kept these systems running for years without much degradation to performance or hiccups. I get the systems a bit gutted and then setup for their work in the office, and it feels good to have stripped down systems. I actually even spend the time to delete edge from programs 86, program data, and on the user app data. Call me paranoid but I clean house, and prevent it from coming back, and my systems have been rock solid.
8:54 appwiz is not the same os CCleaner uninstaller, as CCleaner's can uninstall almost all built-in apps, where appwiz won't even show those apps. I would love if you showed a way to do this without Ccleaner, a way that actually shows you what's installed
what about the duplicate finder tool on CCleaner? I used to find that function useful. Is there an alternative you would recommend? Thanks.
i realized that cc cleaner was pretty pointless after a while ive been using malwarebytes since then
I never knew this program existed, now after so many times you said C C Cleaner, it's now stuck in my subconscious mind.
😮
Tapped out when it uncleaned PC's
I dunno why, but I've always called this thing CC Cleaner.
I was screaming at my phone…â€Driver updates!!! What do you use for driver updates then?!?!â€â€ Lol
Hi, 61 yr old granpa here. Just retired my old 32 bit Dell 520 Pentium 4 Windows 7 lol. I wiped it clean and installed Linux LMDE 5 and was learning how to use that distro and like it. I used Bleachbit too. I was using Ccleaner free until the security breach and stopped using it until it was resolved. For an old fart like me who has PC knowledge limitations, it worked well. I disabled parts of it using task scheduler. No update and no start up. Opted out of other things and promo offers. I used it to clean reg key remnants when removing programs and was surprised how many are left over. I backed up any changes in case something went wrong but never had to reverse any. I also used the free to try driver updater because on a recently purchased Dell 3620 WS (Windows 10) I was at a loss trying to figure out which exact ones were needed that device manager was showing as missing. A Ccleaner scan showed which ones were needed including the version number, release date etc. I then looked them up at the Microsoft site downloaded and installed them all. The Dell driver support website that also runs in the background all the time and couldn't find the specific drivers I needed was useless to me so I deleted it after their scan. Ccleaner start up options disables programs too. I even disabled Ccleaner from starting on launch. Task scheduler confirmed that. It cleans browser history, temp files and cookies well. It's ease of usage has worked well for me after adjusting it to be less intrusive. I wasn't aware I could use Bleachbit and save backups on Windows. I feel that I'm making progress to keep up with the times better. I use USB 3.0 instead of the DVDRW thing, and discarded my Members Only jacket and flip phone long ago. I may not understand everything on your channel, but it's a blast learning from it, thanks for sharing your knowledge
Stopped using it 23 seconds ago!
I've been using CCleaner Free Edition v5.87.9306 as a portable app since WinXP. Mostly, I use it to clean up the registry and clean up unwanted files. It is not "installed" on my system, but I run it as a portable app. Because it is portable, I use only use it when I need to and it does not linger in the background. The extra "features" of the pro-version are not needed, so I don't use it. Again, never had any issues with the "Free Edition" as a portable app.
Those people that use "cracked" or pirated software should not be surprised if their system gets hosed for whatever reason.
And i am the only one who spell CCleaner to C Cleaner?
3:42 it's doesn't find the "msstore"
I used CCleaner (I call Ce Ce Cleaner too) back in 2004 or 2005 until stopped using XP… and it was good at that time… Registry was always a mess… I don't use Windows regularly since 2008…
But… the actual "state of CCleaner described by CT is what I think of most Windows software, excluding professional software like Adobe, Autodesk, etc…
Win Softs have a lot of misinformation, a lot of undercover stuff, a lot of bluff and always trying to scare users… and bad engineering behind all that "junk"… it is just a "low end" environment…
Thanks, some gaming enhancing videos (2 of the top 3 results) had ccleaner in them so I downloaded it but then I thought about trying to use it properly and found your video and then uninstalled it, luckily I only had it for a day and used it once.

Why does everyone say c-c-cleaner (c x3) while there’s only 2 c’s 😫
I have been installing it in my every pc till now, and cleaning registry every 2 or 3 days, WOW!
Kaspersky is more malware then Ccleaner.
DUDE! just found your channel! BIGGEST THANK YOU EVER! If you are ever in NY lmk I will buy you a brew, soda, burger, whatever! ðŸ»
A useful and competent explanation, so I tried it and it turned out that everything works fine. Special thanks to the author for such useful content.
