TECHNOLOGY SALES SERVICE REPAIRS Keep your Mac & Windows Computer Clean If there is one tool that I use on a regular basis, that would have to be a great little utility program called CCleaner. It’s an optimisation and cleaning tool, and is the number-one tool for cleaning your Mac computer or Windows PC. It can protect your privacy online and can make your computer faster and more secure. If you’re concerned about people with access to your computer who could be snooping on your browsing habits, CCleaner can remove these tracks. CCleaner has two important features. 1. It scans your computer for and deletes useless files, freeing up space. 2. It erases private data like your browsing history and list of your most recently opened files in various programs. Expanding on these points further; it frees up disk space by deleting junk files, temporary files and wipes out private usage data. For example, CCleaner will erase your browser history, cookies, and cache files for any browsers you have installed — Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, even Opera. It will go beyond that, erasing the cookie data stored by the Adobe Flash Player. It will even remove other potential privacybreaching information, such as the list of recently opened file names in common applications like Microsoft Word, Excel , Adobe Reader, Windows Media Player, VLC media
