If this is so bad, why are we getting it again? I downloaded it in a hurry last time, and (thankfully) had not had a chance to use it. After reading all these comments, I HAVE JUST UNINSTALLED IT.

I know what damage these overly-aggressive "cleaners" can do -- and if I had had time to read the reviews before, maybe I wouldn't have downloaded it last time. But this re-offer has had one good effect: After reading what others say about it -- I got rid of it, as I think one should generally avoid such programmes like the plague.

I keep getting a pop-up from WISE Cleaner for instance, telling me it can clean nearly a gigabyte of "junk" on my hard disk, but it WILL NOT show WHAT it intends to wipe off my hard disk. And, for sure, it will remove a whole bunch of stuff that I DO NOT WANT REMOVED.

Any cleaner that does that, I simply will not trust, because as Ricohflex #6 says, "Often cleaner software will overdo things just to prove their (very debatable) usefulness".

Nah, your system already has to be on the point of collapse (ie. no other hope) to even try such things: Stick to CCleaner...

An optimization program is like a SwissKnife.
If instinctively wholes parents forbid the cutting tools to their children. In opposition, a computer novice will agree to the help offered by an official professional program. Ignorance sometimes leads us to risk-taking. Yet a professional will always avoid modifying the registry without a valid reason. In practice, the registry is a file which contain a hierarchical collection of information. An action, such as an upgrade or an installation of new program, or new device will add lines of technical information. That very organized structure file don't allows any modification without reason. The optimizer, is a program that uses like an antivirus, a scalable library to search for suspicious terms or signatures. Propaganda concerning the use of artificial intelligence in a computer program remains a commercial utopia. In the same vein, the possibility of voice commands without any error is another Arlesienne. In computer science, for each new version of Windows for example, the propaganda certifies a finalization without bug. Only the bugs of the previous version are officialized, because corrected now. This recurrence remains commercially coherent. To believe that a computer automatism, will optimizes without error, a computer configuration, is a myth. However, some tools are without risk. Removing cookies for example. The use of a optimization program preventively is an unnecessary risk-taking. Its use to solve a problem will never be as effective as a complete reinstall. So wisdom is to avoid a source of bug. Windows and the F8 key sometimes restore the latest valid version, but this solution is not certified.

Stick to the very best and free program "Ccleaner"

Hi everybody. :-)

Pro: lightweight (less than 2 MB).

Cons:
- not portable
- not in my language (Italian)
- not maximizable
- not customizable
- it doesn't show what it is going to delete (really???)
- it shows advertisings on startup and on closing

Suggestion to the developer(s): remove the cons.

Hope this helps.

Desperately needs an upgrade -- no way to search, column sort, pattern select the results, no summaries or logs or totals, no backups that can be restored, no toggle on / off directories to include or exclude ( how do you clean a series of USB backup drives? how do you protect the operating system ?), and the windows are not resizable, so there's no way to read what's about to be deleted.

Glary Utulities is a proven, safe alternative to this GiveAway.

Not good.
Worked fine in a VM. Soon as I put it on my main pc with 2 monitors (nvidia gtx 760 latest driver) it crashes after about 2 seconds. "PUSH Live Wallpaper has stopped working" Not disabling my second monitor to see if it fixes it. On Windows 10. Core i3-3220, 6GB Ram, GTX 760, 2 Displays

Ran fine until I rebooted PC. Now PC can't load Windows 10. Why did you do this to me? Very unsafe. Please help me fix my PC.

No need to add third party software to clean your system, windows (all) has a perfectly good safe cleaner built in and does an adequate job. As for cleaning your registry, totally unnecessary to go near the registry file at all unless you are an experienced user and know what your doing, otherwise you could really screw things up. Redundant, registry files are simply ignored and the registry files only consume a very small and negotiable amount of space and "cleaning" will make no improvement of your machine's performance. If it ain't broken, don't fix it. I normally use Windows cleaner about once a week and have done so since Windows 98 first emerged (showing my age) and have never had any problems.

Do NOT use.
Often cleaner software will overdo things; just to prove their "usefulness".
You may damage your PC unknowingly.
Newbies unknowingly "clean" the DAT and LOG files to reclaim a paltry & insignificant amount of hard disk space.
Many software require unins000.dat or install.log files before they are able to be uninstalled.
If you had "cleaned" them, you CANNOT uninstall those software.
One more thing - the software write up mentions cleaning "unnecessary" files.
What if your definition of "unnecessary"?
What is unnecessary to Mr X --- is very necessary to Mr Y.

This is a real PAIN IN THE _ _ _. It does not won't to open after I download it, and it is having security issues pop up. I think something is fishy with it?

Here is a short review for those that may be interested....

As mentioned.
I am trying to get my system operating correctly after using this 'Cleaner'.
Need to be very careful with this one.

I use CCleaner and cleanmgr.exe. So I don't need Black Bird Cleaner Pro.

I tried Blackbird Cleaner last ti,me, it was given away, and it was far too aggressive and removed both system files, program uninstallers, and as a user, I had very limited chances to see or set the cleaner. Fortunately, I had a system backup, which saved the crippled OS. Thanks for the offer but no thanks today.
