Just one simple question hopefully.
Are computer cleaning programs worth the time or money?
Programs such as Auslogics boost speed or ccleaner. Are they beneficial in anyway such as the disk defragger or registry cleaner.
 
Solution
Very very few of those programs do anything beneficial. Disk defrag is OK to run every few months if you like. The rest of them, a reboot or a new Windows setup will do a lot more good than running any type of cleaner software. If the computer is slow, running a few anti-virus scans and doing a drive check with a proper utility from the hard drive vendor can expose where the issue is.

Well the free versions are really great. I personally use IOBIT Advanced System Care and its an awesome little program.

In the top left corner of my desktop, the little blue bar has a button that shuts downs certain programs using uneeded ram. Is it worth the time? Of course its extremely easy, and to be honest its not worth paying money for. Hope that helped!

Not all cleaning softwares are good. But from my experience PrivaZer Free is a superb cleaner software that I found recently and it's pretty effective. PrivaZer will clean your PC inside out and you will surely see a few gigs freed from your system on your first run.

Sorry but if you're just here to advertise, please dont post at all.
I dont need any freeing of hard drive space or ram.
2tb and 16 gb of ram is enough for me

Oh nice decency show off that shows your poor dignity. I answered to your "computer cleaning software really worth or not" and I replied what I felt right. How do you know I am an advertiser ?? People at tom's hardware forum are advertisers ?? On a public forum mind your language and show better maturity.
