12/4/2023 0 Comments Is ccleaner professional worth it![]() When I said no, I don't want to agree to it in the first place, THEY HUNG UP! I called back, got the exact same response from a different agent, they also hung up instead of explaining! So, I called their customer service, which is not an easy phone number to find, and their answer was that I could simply cancel before the year was up. BUT, when the page sent me to PayPal I was told in the fine print that I was allowing them to deduct a yearly charge, with no way of opting out! Thank goodness I re-read the terms on the PayPal page, I wonder how many people don't? So I un-clicked the box, and the agreement under the Submit button switched to where I was no longer agreeing to the yearly charge. The page automatically selects the yearly renewal, where you must physically cancel to stop them from a yearly re-charge of the full $24.99. I went in to purchase the 30% off, 1-year subscription. Either way, you will be cleaning the junk out of your PC and cellphone with no effort at all. The free version works just fine, if you don't care about or aren't interested in the little bonus perks of the paid version. I have been using the paid version for both my PC and cellphone, so I can honestly say it is great and worth the small licensing fee you pay for them. You can choose to use either the free version or upgrade to the premium paid version for both your PC and cellphone. I have also been using the cellphone app version for a while and it is great, just like the PC one. There is also a cellphone app version that will do the same thing for your phone. ![]() ![]() With a few simple clicks, all of your junk files will be wiped away. You can quickly and easily get rid of unnecessary junk that may be slowing down your computer, like temporary files, cookies, old registry files and so on. It does what it is supposed to do flawlessly. Software updates are a complicated thing on Windows as there is no central repository available.I have been using this handy clean up utility software on my PC for years now. Some programs come with custom build updating routines, others come without them. Keeping software up to date is essential (most of the time) as updates may patch security vulnerabilities, incompatibilities, and other issues. Programs that scan for outdated programs on Windows are anything but new. Programs like SUMO or UpdateStar have been around for over a decade. Developers of security solutions, for example Avira and Kaspersky, introduced options to check for software updates as well. Piriform, an Avast company, introduced the Software Updater in version 5.55 of the application released in March 2019. The tool is included in the Professional version of CCleaner only at this point in time. You may access it with a click on Tools > Software Updater after you have made sure that you run at least CCleaner Professional 5.55. The application lists outdated programs in its interface when you select the tool. It lists the program name, size, the installed version and the new version that is available. The Software Updater detected fewer out of date programs than comparable software updaters such as Sumo. CCleaner Professional detected 18 programs with updates, Sumo 35. Note: The tool may hang if you hit the "update all" button without selecting at least one program first. The only options provided at the time are to select programs and to update the selection. There is no option to visit the developer website to find out more about an update, nor are there options to ignore updates or minor updates, include beta versions, or uninstall a program. The updating happens in CCleaner that is comfortable and probably preferred by the majority of users (Sumo redirects to its own website from where you may download the updates).ĬCleaner Professional does not indicate from where the updates are downloaded, however. It would be great if the program would indicate that to the user.ĬCleaner downloads the installer and runs it automatically. It is still necessary to complete the installation manually at this point silent installations don't seem to be supported. The application displays a "completed" message in the end and buttons to restart the PC or ignore the restart option for the moment. ![]() Closing WordsĬCleaner Professional's software updater is a useful but limited tool. The Software Updater makes it easy to update software that CCleaner has in its database. The database of supported applications could be larger though, and it would certainly benefit from improved functionality on top of that. No false positives were detected during tests this worked properly.
