Is there a free PC system cleaner out there?
I’m looking for something that not only cleans my registry but also fixes driver and file errors. Did I mention I’d also like it to be free?
I am running Windows Vista.

Formatting your computer is best. It cleans everything and you already own the disk’s.
I try and do it atleast once or twice a year to clean crap out of my computer.
CCleaner is the greatest program out there for something like this. I run it once a week, and it keeps everythig working like new.
I don’t have the link, but google should provide it.
Ccleaner- ftw
for malware try
Malware Bytes
SUPERAntiSpyware
As @eambos said CCleaner. That program is awesome.
I just downloaded CCleaner and…wow. Tahnk you guys. It was exactly what I was looking for.
@Blondesjon It’s pretty sweet. I usually run it a few times a week and gets rid of a crapload of stuff.
Fun fact: CCleaner stands for Crap Cleaner =P
Is there a free good cleaner for Mac?
Cleanapp and Onyx seem very similar.
And I thought Macs didn’t need any housekeeping…~
@eambos only dumb people think they are perfect, I think they are good.
@willbrawn ask Steve Jobs, I’m sure he’ll sell you something for a couple hundred bucks. =)
@willbrawn , please try posting a new question next time!! i was confused when i saw mac apps in the answer although blondesjon is running vista
@Blondesjon , i swear by Vista Manager by Yamicsoft. Its a paid software, but I scored a free copy. I’m sure there must be some free lite version of it, or atleast a trial, and since you only need to use these apps once in a year or less, a limited time trial of a week would also be good enough. Vista manager has like 20 different utilities so it can handle ALL tasks…and theres a wizard where you can run all the tasks sequentially automatically
its awesome!
but CCleaner ofcourse is very famous although it has a somewhat more limited feature set. theres a lot of apps out there that handle specific tasks, but when it comes to clearning apps, i want an all-in-one, coz it doesnt make sense loading your pc with a hundred different utilities for each cleaning task when you’re trying to get rid of junk apps and stuff in the first place!!
