What is CCleaner?
CCleaner is a program made to improve the registry and system folders. It will scan your computer for useless files that uses your systems resources, without any benefit on your side. You can also easily uninstall programs much faster than doing it using the control panel. CCleaner also allows you to clean browser cache and history to not only remove clutter which causes browser problems but also protect personal information from falling into the wrong hands.
Do I Need to Pay?
No, CCleaner is completely free. Although the makers of CCleaner ask for you to donate of around 20$, it is not mandatory, and you can still download the program free, nonetheless. If you do wish to donate, you can do so via PayPal. The makers of CCleaner is always updating their program, so people who have donated will get the software first.

Like many programs, you will need specific requirements for you to download and install them, so here are the requirements you need:
* Must have Windows. CCleaner cannot run on Linux or a Mac
* Need the minimum of 64MB RAM to handle CCleaner.
