Pros:

Cons:

Bottom Line: Still use it, tried others, not impressed with them. Main gripe is that if you have it running in the background 24/7, and at times opening main window, can take some time to load whole program before being able to clean. If constantly running in background, should thus pop right up and ready to use. Is that too much too ask? On an SSD drive PC it's quicker, but still no excuse. 3 1/2 stars... for such stupid behavior.

Antonia82 reviewed v5.55.7108 on Mar 27, 2019

Pros:

Cons: Well it was the telemetry and the overall quality problems it had in the latest versions. These forced updates and opt-out feature previews, I didn’t experience, but learning about it reinforces my decision. I hate the trend of software that does what it wants and not what the user wants, especially for security / privacy-oriented software, it makes no sense.

Bottom Line: Now switched to Cleanmgr+ from the old dev team of Xleaner

Pros: Junkwarw

Cons: Used to be good

Bottom Line: I stopped using CCleaner, I used to use it and recommend it to clients. I now use & recommend Bleachbit, which is an open source free cleaner.

Music4Ever reviewed v5.52.6967 on Jan 17, 2019

Pros: Used to be the best now no good points

Cons: Latest trick is for Avast to add cookies in CCleaner & then white-list them, this on a cleaning product - Dreadful behaviour from Avast who seem to have no decency or values & never learn either.

Bottom Line: Was the best now don't use it I am a pro customer until my licence runs out - At the moment it's blocked by my firewall - Use Wise, Clean Space or Privacy Eraser - No points.

JonIn92656 reviewed v5.52.6967 on Jan 17, 2019

Pros: Ccleaner was the best until Avast purchased it.

Cons: I downloaded the January 2019 update to Ccleaner and learned that Avast had installed their free anti-virus software. I did not ask for it, there was no notice that it was being installed, and I do not want this s*** on my computer. Avast has ruined what was once a great product.

Bottom Line: I will never purchase or use any Avast product. They suck!

Weilan reviewed v5.51.6939 on Dec 14, 2018

Pros: It's lightweight.

Cons: Contains malware from Avast that's constantly monitoring all computer activity.

Lacks thorough detection capabilities, it only scrapes the surface of what other junk cleaners can discover. It's always been like this. One had to install a plugin called CCEnhancer to boost its capabilities.

Bottom Line: It used to be good, but since Avast got it, they put their malware inside. It's constantly turning itself on, doing monitoring, who knows what else.

I switched to the Wise products.
