Hi all, while this is not a glitch as such, all I need is some advice please. How do I use the free Ccleaner as I presume it must do SOME good. And, is there any benefit to buying the full version. Robert.

I've used the registry cleaning functionality of Ccleaner described here
http://www.piriform.com/docs/ccleaner/using-ccleaner/registry-cleaning

I never used any of its other capabilities.
If you think you'll use the extra features in the "Pro" version, go ahead and buy it to support the company.

I use it to clean up the "junk" that accumulates and I also use the light registry cleaning after I uninstall something. Even though I supported them with a donation many years ago, I don't really use anything except these two functions which are available in the free version.

The same goes for me, Draclvr And I feel it's an excellent programme

Yep me too, I like to clean up the junk left over on my machines... have used it for years with no problems.

I use it daily to get rid of the junk and keeps the cookies, I want it to. Glad they had it for Mac too.

Hi Jenny, which icon is the 'registry' icon and after I find it, what button do I press? Robert.

When you open up CCleaner, on the left there are 4 listings. The top one is Cleaner for general cleaning of the computer. The 2nd one is Registry which is a light registry cleaner which will get rid of registry entries which are no longer used.

Hi Draclvr, which button or buttons do I press then? Robert.

At the bottom of the screen you'll see a "Scan for Issues" button - press that one.

Mine only has 3 buttons, guess its different for mac.
