ccleaner - best crap cleaner

 was taking backup of my PC today and thought I should share about "ccleaner".  Daily we browse lot of stuff from internet which creates temporary files.  These files are meant to be really "temporary" and need to be deleted automatically when you close the page that created those temp files.  Best example is youtube video.  When you watch a youtube video, it creates a temporary file in your temporary files location (type %TEMP% in Start>Run.. dialog to go to that location) which is actually the container for the video playing in browser..  Once you close the page that played the video, automatically the temporary file download for the video should get deleted.  Sometimes, these temp files are not automatically deleted and they grow day-by-day. 
Ultimately, PC performance gets affected or in worst case, the total hard disk space is consumed and you get a warning about low disk space!  Until then, some people never care to delete these files manually.  However, in many occasions, I used to clear these files.  There are two reasons; (1) I don't want my backup of C: partition take more space.  That is eventually waste and takes more time during backup or restore.  (2) System performance is improved. 
Enough of my story!! With this nifty tool "CCleaner", the job is lot easier.

CCleaner (Crap Cleaner) is a freeware system optimization tool. That removes unused and temporary files from your system – allowing Windows to run faster, more efficiently and giving you more hard disk space. The best part is that it’s fast! (normally taking less that a second to run) and Free.  It also cleans traces of your online activities such as your Internet history. Additionally it contains a fully featured registry cleaner. But the best part is that it's fast (normally taking less than a second to run) and contains NO Spyware or Adware!
After installing you can change the settings in CCleaner to run it automatically during every startup.  You can download the latest version from here.
