If you frequently clean your computer with something such as the Ccleaner slim program, then it is harder for viruses and malware programs to slowly infest your computer. Virus and malware manufacturers will often add files to your computer one piece at a time. The cleaning program is also far faster than its closest competitors. Plus, most of its cleaning tools and functions are self-explanatory.
The software stands alone on your system and doesn't require internet access or for you to log in. The slim version has many of the larger program's features, which also includes the ability to clean your registry, which may be littered with files from apps and programs that you have long uninstalled.
The biggest difference between the Ccleaner program and the Ccleaner slim version is that the slim version does not install the toolbar that the full Ccleaner has. With just one program, you may delete unwanted files from all your browsers and many of your most popular programs and apps. It sweeps away all the temp files and history files that otherwise require numerous searches and deletes. If Panda Cloud Cleaner's intimate Web integration and "call me!" hook don't bother you, it can serve as part of a comprehensive anti-malware front.Softonic-recensie Easily delete unwanted filesĬcleaner Slim is a version of Piriform's Ccleaner, which is a program that clears and deletes unwanted files from your computer. We weren't displeased that Cloud Cleaner requires a system reboot to finish the job, but we declined Panda's request to call a toll-free number to "complete the removal process." We don't mind the cloud-based analysis (much) but a phone call is a bit too intrusive for our tastes.īefore we rebooted, we ran some similar tools, which returned similar results not identical. We selected everything but our gaming mouse's profiles for cleaning. We could review the program's findings and select items before cleaning. The process didn't take long, but a slow or unreliable Internet connection could be an issue.
Cloud Cleaner took about as long to scan our PC as our regular anti-malware tools, and the process is similar up to the point that Cloud Cleaner transmits your scan data to the cloud for checking against the latest definitions. Cloud Cleaner's Advanced Tools let us Kill All Processes (drastic!) and Unlock Files (as well as send files to Panda) but there's no exclusion list or similar options: Everything is in the hands of online experts, supposedly. Unlike other similar programs that start a scan as soon as you open it, Panda's scan starts only when you tell it to.
We clicked Accept and Scan to finish installing Panda Cloud Cleaner. It's anonymous and helps contain malware before it can spread, but you should be aware in case that's a concern. You'll need an active Internet connection, and not just for updates: Panda Cloud Cleaner sends your scan data to the cloud for analysis. We're big on anti when it comes to viruses and other malware, so Cloud Cleaner's claim to detect malware that other tools miss caught our attention. Actually, it's a free anti-malware utility with cloud-sourced updates and definitions, which means timely detection and prevention of threats.
Panda Cloud Cleaner would make an adorable title for a children's book, but it's based on the Collective Intelligence of the cloud, so it's more like sci-fi.
