To take it at face value without testing it against the very program you say it's better than is unprofressional.

It's a shame you don't like the software, but luckily most people here seemed to.
Jeez.. It's a damn FREE program. If you want to buy Window Washer, have a blast. This guy is just being nice and trying to give someone a free program. Who knows if he is planning on adding additional features to it or not

When you say something is a CLONE of another program but faster you better be able to back it up..free or otherwise.

WHY are you giving people a false sence of efficiency when you have NEVER tested it against Window washer?

WHY would people consider this great software when in fact it isn't? It's exactly what it is. A nice start to an unfinished piece of work. Nothing more.

Unless you prove otherwise, it isn't remotely close to being a clone of Window washer.

I stand by what I said. It's faster becouse it isn't as efficient.

Granted it could become a great piece of software but at this point it isn't. I'm sorry, but someone has to get your head out of the clouds. With critisism comes a better product. I cannot justify saying something is better when it isn't.

Cudos to you for creating this in the first place. It is an accomplishment for sure. I'm just not sure it deserves the praise it has been getting. And just becouse it's free doesn't make it better.

What does that mean? I've already said what it doesn't have in it compared to Window Washer (which is what HE is comparing it to)

That's more than any of you idots have said about it other than "golly gee wiz, it sure is fast".

Don't expect praise in a thread labled "windows washer clone only faster" when it is a far, far cry from being a clone of Window Washer.

How about making CrapCleaner OpenSource (and maybe call it OpenCrapCleaner :p).. That way the development of CCleaner can catch up to Anti-Spyware programs, features can be coded in like Remote Crap Cleaning over a network that you just wouldn't have time to code yourself and libraries of crap/more options of what to do with the crap once it's found can be made by anyone and sent back to you.

And if it's opensource, you can get some hosting on SourceForge and they will supply all your website and hosting of the program that you need, as well as message boards, bug tracking system, and source control systems

Think about it, CCleaner could soon be the tool of choice for Sysadmins everywhere to maintain their networks :)

Interesting idea. It's definitely an option for some time in the future.

What if you could make it clear the SSL State and the AutoComplete Lists Forms and Passwords or does it already do this?

It should already do Autocomplete stuff, although I don't have the source infront of me, so will check this evening.

Can you provide any more info on what you mean by SSL state?

Very Very nice App !!

Could you please make that a standalone executable with dlls builtin ? (if thats even possible) cuz that would be just awesome.

I'm having a look at reducing the dependencies, so it can be distributed with and without an installer.

Although I doubt I could get it down to just a single EXE. But will try :)

To SYNTHETIC: I had a look and the autocomplete stuff isn't in there, so will add it to the next version.

ummmmmmm I don't really know what it is but I know I use it, it can be found in Internet Explorer under Tools-Internet Options-Content-Clear SSL State, it's in an area called Certificates. I hope this helps you to understand what I'am talking about. And this thing might not even be important but I always use it for some reson. :)

I just downloaded and installed this great program, and I must say that my PC was just about to get a fresh WindowsXP install.

I ran CCleaner and let it do it's work, rebooted and I have found that my PC is now running like it has just had Windows reinstalled.

I will recommend this program to all my friends.

Keep up the good work.

P.S. I have just one suggestion. How about an option to select all issues it finds in the registry scan?

It is a bit of a pain having to select each one when it finds over 300 issues. ;)

Glad you like it.

If you right-click on the issues list you can select all. Maybe I should make it more obvious :)

    • DriversCloud 12.1.6

      By Copernic · Posted

      DriversCloud 12.1.6 by Razvan Serea With DriversCloud (formerly My-Config.com), you can explore your computer easily, safely and free. The application quickly scans your PC and identifies the hardware and software components. DriversCloud then establishes a list of the different drivers compatible with your OS and hardware. Download the drivers needed for the proper functioning of your computer. To detect your drivers, DriversCloud also displays a detailed summary of your hardware and software configuration, analyzes your BSOD, monitors in real-time your PC voltages and temperatures and lets you share your configuration online. Once the hardware components have been detected, you will be able to obtain with just a few clicks the latest drivers corresponding to the identified hardware. You can record your configuration on the site for free, and can get the corresponding URL to post the configuration to technical forums, e-mail and social networks. You can also download the detection result (the configuration) as a PDF file. To protect the user's privacy and data confidentiality, a 4-level confidentiality system was created that filters the XML marks and gives control to the user. The default level can be modified in the preferences. Using the maximum level will prevent the user from publishing his configuration and generating a corresponding PDF file. In non-connected mode, each XML configuration is stored on the server for one day (for practical reasons). However, you are given the opportunity to manually delete it. Created in 2004, and continually improved, My-Config.com has established itself on the web as a free service to PC users running Windows and Linux operating systems. The service is designed to work with the most common Internet browsers (Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Safari).

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.3

      By Copernic · Posted

      Ocenaudio 3.19.3 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display.
