Its only beta but is a complete re-write of the old program.

Wonder if this version doesn't crash when secure wiping in Vista :S

Change log:

* Complete rebuild in C++
With the requirements for a portable version, 64-bit compatibility and Windows Vista increasing against the limitations of the old architecture. We decided to rebuild the entire CCleaner application in highly optimized C++.

* Faster analyzing and cleaning
Each scanning process was rewritten from scratch and fully optimized. The result being a noticeable speed increase in all areas.

* Portable
CCleaner can now run from a USB thumbdrive and be installed/run on a computer without a complicated setup process.

* Compact
The rewrite removed all external file dependencies, so the main EXE is now half the size of the original program and support files.

* Redesigned User Interface
The original CCleaner user interface was looking a little dated, so the GUI was redesigned with a modern look, but without sacrificing speed or usability. New icons were created for the interface and the main program icon was updated with a more modern style.

* Exclusions
It is now possible to specify files, folders and registry keys to ignore from the cleaning process.

* Loads of little tweaks
Too numerous to mention them all separately, we've tried to improve CCleaner in all areas.

Must you really ask?

 

[Soupy]

why does anyone need secure deletion,

Customers sometimes send me their info including name, address, credit card details and they have to be securely deleted after we use them.

It's a data protection thing !

That's pretty much a standerd warning for any beta tbh.

edit - ahhh, I see what your getting at, yeh that's strange, says it's a final version but then has a beta warning at the bottom .

Thanks, the old version was very buggy in Vista, it picked up load of crap and removed it but when i rescanned it was still there so must not been clearing the data properly.

Who knows this one works great!
