A great question...
CCLEANER, by Piriform in their own words, CCleaner is the number-one tool for cleaning your Windows PC. It protects your privacy online and makes your computer faster and more secure. Easy to use and a small, fast download. Here are some reviews that customers have left, READ THEM HERE.
This is another program that I personally use on my system. I also used it on 36 laptops when I was in charge of the mobile training lab.
At home I use it a few times a week, or after I have removed programs from my personal system. It cleans the registry and removes unneeded entries. When the program asks if you want to save a file I say yes in-case something happened and it removed a line that you need. By saving you can restore the registry to what it was before. I would say that the registry cleaner portion of the program should be used by people that have a good understanding of computers, or have been shown how to use this portion of the program.
The cleaning portion of the program, the first page that pops up, cleans browser history. If you use; INternet Explores, Mozilla FireFox, Google Chrome, Safari, K-Meleon, Rockmelt, Flock, Google Chrome Canary, Chromium, SeaMonkey, Chrome Plus, SRWare Iron, Pale Moon, Phoenix, Netscape Navigator, Avant and Maxthon.
