Can't live without this app. I don't know how many problems I've fixed, with others' computers as well as my own, just by running CCleaner once.

WinApp2.com has just push the 1000 programs mark for cleaning additional applications that CCleaner doesn't.

RetroShare v0.5.4e.6268 Updated

Checker on 24 Mar 2013

RetroShare works with a restricted network of individuals to provide secure messaging, file sharing, forums, VoIP, channels, and more. Unlike peer-to-peer (P2P) networks that rely on unclear levels of anonymity, RetroShare works on a friend-to-friend (F2F) model that lets you connect with two layers of trust (e.g. your friends and your friends' friends), but restricts access beyond that. Also known as a "dark net", Retroshare is an encrypted, decentralized communication platform.

Cross-platform (Mac, Linux, BSD).

Ditto,I lost my regedit favorites and my address book,be careful with this app and make a restore point first!

shodan816 on 2012-11-13 18:44

This utility really does a great job, and removes many useless files and registry entries in the process. It is missing one key element, however (in my opinion) and that is to allow the user to preview the scan results before committing and executing. Yes, you can set it to create a backup point, but that does not replace the ability for experienced users to see what is about to be cleaned prior to execution. One more small issue is there is no way to set 'Close' to mean exactly that. Close now pops the app to the taskbar, and that is not what I expect 'Close' to do. Give the user the option of having the app truly close.

So far No Problems. But Nothing running installed other than OS, & Office.
