f3ia Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 I am using CCleaner and System Mechanic. Does anyone have any opinions on which is better overall? CCleaner is fast and powerful, while System Mechanic has extra features. If cost is not a problem, which is better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted August 11, 2005 Moderators Share Posted August 11, 2005 Better is a user defined choice. However I will tell you this; CCleaner is safer. I say this because I've seen System Mechanic's registry cleaner destroy the system registry on some systems by nearly removing all of it when only a few "invalid" references it found were removed. There's also this thread CCleaner vs. Other Disk Cleaners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f3ia Posted August 11, 2005 Author Share Posted August 11, 2005 I must agree, CCleaner is faster and in many ways more powerful than commercial tools. I have never had a problem with CCleaner other than not being able to delete some Norton Reg keys. Norton just seems to weave its way into your system like a parasite. Anyways, thanks for your input.
