The main things it lacks are a registry cleaner and a way to check third-party programs to see if they need updating. However, I’ve never seen any evidence that registry cleaners provide benefits, and they can be harmful. #DO I NEED CCLEANER PRO UPDATE#Īlso, many third-party programs have their own update systems. This is the case in the area where it really matters: browsers. Tune-up and optimisation programs could still be useful, because they provide a lot of tools in one handy package. The problem is that they can find hundreds or even thousands of “errors” and then ask for money to complete the clean-up. This kind of marketing puts people off the whole category, and as a result, even reputable programs suffer. ParetoLogic’s PC Health Advisor may be a reputable product – I’ve never used it – but you don’t really need it, and you don’t need to pay $50 a year (or whatever) for a clean-up program. If you want one, Piraform’s CCleaner Free does the job well enough for most people. Otherwise, my current preference is to download specific tools only when you need them. When downloading any freeware, always watch out for unwanted “foistware” that may be bundled with the program you want.
