Is anyone familiar with http://www.ccleaner.com ?

Any concerns? I'm always hesitant about free software, but someone
suggested this one.

Where have you been?
CCleaner has been around for years and I've been using it for years.
It does a tremendous job and has many options. I use it before
shutting down. I get rid of everything from the current session.
Otherwise you can end up with temporary files that can be
"troublesome" when you restart your computer. I bet jaquele even uses
it.

CCleaner is great, far better than MS's Diskcleaner. Just pay
attention to the options (always a good recommendation with any
software that's new to you), so you don't clean up things (like
cookies) that you maybe wanted to keep.

(Some) free software is great (and certainly frugal). If you have
hesitations, google for recommendations and stick with the stuff that
people give praise to.

Good advice from Dave. I used it after a recommendation from the tech group
at Smart Computing. No problems at all. But it does find all of the
cookies on your browser(s) and they're gone if you click too quickly.

I do a lot of pro bono support. (folk have no money for extras) and have
been using CC for years with absolutely NO PROBLEMS with either the software
or technically challenged clients (I do the set up they do the click and go
part)
