I was using CCleaner and all seemed to be OK. Then I was told it conflicted with many spyware and virus detectors and I should not use CCleaner. I would like some feedback pro or con as to using CCleaner. I really like the way it cleans all of one's temp files and browser usage so well and so fast.
Thanks for your feedback, Richard | | Distinguished Member with 3,183 posts. | | Join Date: Jan 2006 Experience: Intermediate | | Hi Richard,
I've not heard of Ccleaner conflicting. I use it (different machines) with ZoneAlarm, AVG, Comodo & Avast.
Where did you here about these 'conficts'? Is there a link you could post for others to see and evaluate - I'm not that tech savvy but others will be.

But stay away from the registry cleaning section. Many registry cleaners have the potential to damage your system. | | Member with 31 posts. | | Join Date: May 2003 Location: So.

Try to stay away from any registry cleaners.

As suggested just go to the REGISTRY page and untick ALL on tha page and go back to the Cleaner page to use the defaut settings .. It would seem nobody here has run across conflicting reports .
You did the right thing though -- If in doubt Check it out .
