On my test laptop, the search found 7,371 trackers, 792 MB of garbage, and one upgrade application – in this case Audacity. It is 77MB in size and is compatible with Windows 7 and later versions.Īfter a short introduction explaining the features, CCleaner performs a health check in seconds, highlighting privacy trackers and unwanted files that need to be removed, as well as running applications that need to be disabled and applications that need to be updated. Like most customization software, CCleaner Professional is simple and easy to download followed by a quick installation. Here I’m testing the paid Professional version, which opens up a number of additional features, such as Speed and Security sections, as well as the ability to schedule a cleanup and monitor your computer. Like many Windows applications, there is a free version of CCleaner, but it is limited to standard privacy protection (tracking files and browsing data) and cleanup. It’s been around for a long time – since 2004 – so for many it’s a PC cleaning program, but is it still the best? Please see Why am I being asked to renew CCleaner? for more information and how to resolve this.CCleaner is probably the name that comes to mind when you think of PC cleaning software, and it remains one of the best you can buy for price and performance. However, you can still use CCleaner as a free version. This means the time period in which your license was valid has ended, so you are no longer eligible to use CCleaner Professional features in CCleaner. If your license status is ‘License Expired’ or you're asked to renew your license If this is the case, please contact us at so we can help you.

Or, you may have also unknowingly purchased a license from an unauthorized reseller. If you have asked for a refund, you will no longer be eligible to use CCleaner Professional, and your license will be deactivated. There may be a few reasons why your license has been deactivated. If your license status is ‘License Deactivated’ You can see your license status within the CCleaner app (see the top grey bar, over to the left).

If your version of CCleaner no longer works as it used to (for example, you have lost access to some features), it may have either expired or deactivated.
