Crap Cleaner is coded with Microsoft Visual Basic.
Applications coded Visual Basic does run slower than applications coded C++.
Also VB (Visual Basic) applications require the VB Run-Time modules.
Applications coded in C++ does not.
If Crap Cleaner was redesigned in C++ it would run faster.
Now some users have trouble running Crap Cleaner because it gives them errors about missing run-time modules, if it was in C++ they wouldnt have this problem.
VB besides being crappy and inferior is also platform limited to Windows only.
I think it would be alot better if CCleaner was coded in C++ or if the people who make CCleaner would decide to port it (if they have the competence that is).
VB is pretty much inferior, it is platform limited to Windows systems only and few people have the MSVB libraries needed to run the programs.
It is a lousy programming language for kids who just get into their first programming, and it stucks them in their Microsoft world with their software that can only run on Windows platforms.
I used to code in VB some years ago, and I have to say it does have some good points too, it is easy, things dont often go wrong, you can develop alot in a short time, RAD (Rapid Application Developement).
Also it is very easy to create forms by the very simple drag-and-drop interface.
It is easy to use and you can fast learn Socket programming with WinSock and have some fun.
Why don't you just leave? Nobody appreciates your negative comments, especially regarding the language that MrG (the proprietor) chooses to write CCleaner in. You are basically directly insulting him, and your presence is indirectly insulting to technicians everywhere.

I do not mean to insult the author of CCleaner, because I think it is a good program, it does what it is supposed todo, it is simple to use, I used it on all computers in my home, works good, it speeded up the computers, I like that it is free to use and a small and quick download.
Now wether you like it or not, want to face it or not, Visual Basic is a crappy inferior language that isnt good for anything outside the garage.
And about voting, this place is some kind of democracy?
Already enough of me, I just got here.
I am not only posting negative comments, it is only natural that bad software gets bad opinions/critique (not refering to CCleaner).
I even mentioned some good points in Visual Basic.
I also posted many other informative and positive posts and with links to other good software and resources.
......Now wether you like it or not, want to face it or not, Visual Basic is a crappy inferior language that isnt good for anything outside the garage......
Rather strong statement.
That's like saying A works but B works better (in your opinion) so A should be scrapped.
If A were that bad people would be scrapping it en mass and adopting B with little or no coaching to do so.
