Anyone done this before? It's around R240 for a year. I've used the trial and happy with it now wanting the real deal.
 
What does the paid version offer?

I guess not much of a difference. I mostly usually try and get full versions of whatever software I use. Just like the support/updates etc.
 
Don't know if I would pay ccleaner but then I guess we are different people
 
If you like the software, and you have the cash, support the developers.
 
I have tried it twice in the past - both times my machine would not boot on restart. Rubbish software.

That's what I say. Have been using CCleaner for a while and happy with it. I now have 100% genuine software for everything on my machine. It has taken a while but is a route I have gone down and feel pretty good about that.

You know that CCleaner actually gives you the ability to destroy your machine if you use it unwisely? I once had a guy come to me asking me to help him with his machine that will no longer boot up. This is back in 2003. Turns out he had installed some third party software and literally ticked every option available including messing with boot.config files :p

If you don't know what it is or what affect it will have, don't do it.

No offense but if you managed to nuke your hard drive with CCleaner then you did something really idiotic. You went and checked every option. I know you did because that's what it would take to turn your PC into a brick.

I've seen enough Reddit threads to know many guys did just that and then go on to bash CCleaner as being some kind of destroyer and then bash the product itself without actually reading the guidelines.

Hardly a brick. One takes precautions before running that sort of program. If I wanted to 'nuke' a hard drive I'd use a hammer.

You are very presumptuous about what I did or did not do - must be fun being omniscient.

Just 'please clean up the registry for me' and BANG! , registry poked. Admittedly this was probably a decade ago, but crap software is crap software.
