Hello,

Please tell me what Windows version do you have? Is it genuine or modified? And what version of CSC have you installed?

[Commanding The Celsius]

CSC was able to clean out MORE than 1000 threats that CCleaner missed..

A really good registry cleaner!  I do lack the "write over xx times" that some Cleaners have to harden any possibility to recover files.

Err. did I say threaths.. I meant registry entries ...


Ive been using CIS too long I guess..

Hi,
 I have downloaded the program and used it on several occasions to clean my registry, disc cleaner, and privacy. I have cleaned an awful lot of junk from my computer, but I am reluctant to delete the duplicate files as I do not want to mess up my computer.
I have used the program JV16 power tools for a couple of years but that one is a problem if you want to clean your computer using some of the other facilities on the program.
All in all I like the program but have not used it long enough to to say if it has improved yhe speed of my computer.
What are your feelings on duplicate file deletion, I know it can cause problems, as I found out to my cost some time ago.

Hello,

The problem with Duplicate files is that users really have to analyze what they are about to delete. We have an exception list, but still, you need to pay a lot of attention. We'll add more to the whitelist, however, no matter now large the whitelist, the user will always know more then us about it's own files(I am not referring to system files, program files, inboxes, etc. - this is our job to constantly add to whitelist).

The big problem is that many users of software like this don't know any more than you about the files on their computer. They will see your banner in CSC's header touting 100% Safe Cleaning and nuke anything and everything offered as cleanable by the the software, then start screaming about lost data.

So the dilemma is, how can you state your software offers 100% Safe Cleaning, yet it still opens the user up to unwanted deletions that can cause partial or total system meltdown?

Perhaps enable backups by default or something? Then give the user a warning if they decide to disable the backup option that unless they really know what they are doing, harm could come to their system and it is recommended to leave the backup enabled.

I guess my way of thinking that if you tell the user your software is 100% safe, then no matter what the user does with it (using default settings) there is the smallest possible chance of any issues. And if there are issues, everything cleaned should be easily restored. If every step had a backup enabled by default, anything should be recoverable.

Any thoughts?

I think system restore is active by default...... and also there is being asked to create registry back-ups and also there is roll back button after a restart and before deletion you have to confirm everything...... the only thing that is missing, is: good informative information about the stuff that is getting deleted, about it's origin and about the consequences of deletion a la tune up style.....

[HeffeD]

I'm talking actual file backup. Registry backups and system restore aren't going to cut it when deleting your duplicate files. System restore only backs up critical areas, not your entire hard drive.

And the roll back button after restore is a bit dubious. I'm really expected to check every application on my system for problems after the reboot? Sure, I'll check the important stuff, but it's just not practical to check everything. This is were the actual backup comes in...

I downloaded the program yesterday and I utilitized it fully with no problems at all, it is one of the best programs for cleanup i've ever used. One concern is the duplicate files deletion, we should be able to delete all files and not have to go through and check each file to delete. I hope it stays as a free program, and gets even better. THanks for a great program.

Great software! I didn't trust it until i tried. It is most thorough application of its class i saw so far. Couple of brilliant features (i think they are brilliant) made me respekt Comodo System Cleaner... And it's free!
Thanks Comodo for this great application!

[devenroy]

Before i used ccleaner as registry cleaner and junk files cleaner, now i use comodo registry cleaner its more quick, my system performance improved after using it, latest version .38 is doing great too.
Thanks comodo team for this wonderful software.

Hello,

I think you misunderstood me. For example: a lot of duplicate files can be music file... or movie files... or maybe you have some documents spawned on different directories. You'll get duplicate files, and for sure We cannot know what to delete. Would be impossible for us to whitelist all this.

100 % Safe cleaning = backups are enabled by default and Safe Deletion and Registry Protection also. There is even System Restore option. So, I think it's pretty safe.

When is comodo system tune up going to be released?

[fangirl]

I have been using Comodo AV and Firewall for several months with no problems, so I decided to try the Registry Cleaner on my brand new netbook. (Windows XP)

Like with any new computer, my first days of ownership were spent downloading/installing software and tweaking some settings.  Everything was running fine, so I ran Comodo Registry cleaner to get rid of any "junk" that had accumulated during these downloads and updates.

The next day, I received a download of updates to Windows Office 2003.  They downloaded just fine, but would NOT install.  Oddly, the Windows System Updates downloaded and installed just fine.  So... I rolled back my registry (thanks to the tools in CRC) to before the attemped download of the updates.  Then... the Office 2003 updates installed just fine.  So..., I am happy that my system is running well, but I don't know what specific registry items that he CRC originally cleaned that screwed up my Office update installs.  I don't want to run the program again, for fear that I would delete these necessary items.

Any suggestions on how to tell which registry values/items are necessary and should be put on the ignore list???

Thanks.

Hello,

Thank you for trying CRC. Can you please tell me what version of CSC(not CRC) have you used?
