CCleaner was my go to program for freeing up junk and doing wipes on XP. But since I had to deal with the FloxIf / Windows Pioneerr virus and reading about how it started via CCleaner releases being compromised. I am not too sure anymore about CCleaner.
The popularity of it is too staggering nowadays as with Google.
For wiping I prefer something like BCwipe.
Avast Premium literally shows off leftover Regedits not in use, old/out-dated programs, and so much more.
I would have to test, VirusTotal, and run checks in Virtual machine ( or Sandbox I guess ) in order to make sure CCleaner actually functions.
If you blind-fully select everything. Like how I removed the "System Restore" via CCleaner it can caused problems down the road.
System-Restore ( where your system and other files are optionally backed up to a specific state ) is the only reason I am able to use my current setup the way it is, after dealing with Floxif. If I had perform a system restore back up and had installed anti-virus ( like Avast or Maleware Bytes ) directly afterwards I would have prevented myself from dealing with the problems of computing devices.
