    During install appears to give a choice whether to add the Yahoo Toolbar. However, even after selecting "No" it will switch your search provider to Yahoo unless you have Google which will alert you to the attempt.

    Uninstalled, I'll stick with ccleaner

    After using ASC PRO ( up to V.3.30), as well as many other "cleaner" programs, I find it to be a reliable program that can only be made better if its developers keep it from becoming tooooo big, and focus their attention on the basic need for good file and reg cleaning.

    What users need to realize is that ASC, like any similar program, can be very destructive if you don't make a point to set it up according to your system needs, most important is choosing options and using the "ignore list' in order to avoid loosing unprotected files/reg entries.
    This is often why people blame the program whenever something goes horribly wrong. I've had this argument many times with others that feel that the software should be non-destructive if you don't mess with the options menu, but that's simply impossible considering that all systems are basically unique as far as software/hardware configurations are concerned. The point is that if you find it too complex to set up then use a safer & less effective program. like that you won't have any major problems.

    As a result, you have to do a bit of work in order to tweak any program that you need to work well for you.

    I need to chime in here. I am a computer hardware tech. I've been working in the field for 20 years, mostly in hospitals and colleges.
    I know my way around windows and all it's versions. This software is the very best out there. I have used it on hundreds of pcs and it has never let me down. PC's that I would have rebuilt entirely to get back original performance, I have been able to achieve the same perfomance leves just by running this software.
    For those of you who have rated this poorly all I have to say is, thank you. without you I wouldn't be in business. You know just enough to be dangerous!

    LOL indeed....

    I have used the paid version on four separate machines for the last two years, and I think this version is rubbish, so much so that I have taken off my machines even though I have six months to go on my licence.

    And yes....the version prior to three was better.
