Do you guys use CCleaner with Win8.1?

Is it still worth using something like this in Windows 8? Or does it mess up more than it helps when doing a registry clean up?

I personally never had problems using it on Win 7 to have a clean.

 

I use the current version, no problems with w8.1.

 

No problems here with 8.1

 

I used it almost monthly if no weekly

I get paranoid about my internet history ect..

I use it to clean up temp files. I don't touch the registry cleaner portion.

 

This is all good to know! I have installed and used to ok too.

 

i use Ccleaner and windows 8 Manager to improve my system performance

 

Because it will destroy your pc, beware :grin:

 

CCleaner here too

never got a problem using it in Win8.1

and like the guys said, never use the "registry cleaner", only use the "files cleaner"

 

I use Privazer, clean everything, except for my dirty ass.

 

I've only seen that happen once with CCleaner.... I just use alternate software.

 

I've used it and registry cleaning option too. I do look the results first but it is rather well done and chances are minimal that it will fack up the registry. It mostly just deletes unused extension files, missing application paths, old firewall rules (missing application) and other temp stuff basically.

 

ditto.

 

What about the likes of Spywareblaster? I have used it before. I'm guessing it's affective by changing your hosts file? Worth redownloading?

 

Works ok for me. No issues at all.

 

Heck I use it with OSX.

 

Thanks guys. I suppose the reason is that this is a fresh install and I don't want to put to many things on that might muck up my installation.

My last install was 2009 with Win 7 64bit. I tried all sorts of things to programs like these right through to altering you internet settings. Things really started going wrong about then!

 

Windows 8.1 is pretty hard to break.
