Differences in Cleaners

Thanks Bree, I didn't know that.

Same for banks and financial sites that regard your browser on a specific PC as 'trusted' if a particular cookie is present. A fragile way to do things.

And of course if a bank site isn't working properly they tell you to 'clear cache and cookies' without thinking of the implications - for other banks or sites..

I usually run Privazer every couple of days so am used to having to sign into things, even my own forum. :)

If you go into Ccleaner options and click on Cookies even if you haven't done much from a clean install,
you will see hundreds of cookies mainly from ad companies, I don't want that crap on my pc.

You can add cookie exceptions in CCleaner, or you can use an extension like Cookie Autodelete.

I think people would be better served by cleaning the dust inside the computer, and not worrying about cleaning up temp files.

When I run mine (monthly perhaps) several GB are cleared- including locations I've spotted where a couple of programs accumulate signicant dmp files.

Sometimes it's not just Windows debris...
