KCleaner is designed to be the most efficient Hard Disk cleaner, tracking every useless byte in order to give you all the ressources you may need for your documents, music, pictures, movies, etc. It is the first product of this kind featuring a full automatic mode, which works in background so that you don't have to care about when to launch it. As a proof of its efficiency, it often finds up to many Gb not even seen by its competitors so. If data security is something you are interested in, you'll love the secured file deletion methods proposed by KCleaner, making deleted files unrecoverable by any known mean.

    it has to be said, why would one want to use a substandard tool,
    there are so many applications that are available that do what this program does, and far more advance,

    the number one program has to be,
    http://www.ccleaner.com/

    with ccleaner around, there is just no room for any new software to really be any kind of competition,

    perhaps in time, this KCleaner will develop, but the name says it all in my opinion,

    CCleaner
    KCleaner

    come on, who is the developer trying to kid, personally i feel this is some kind of attack against CCleaner, or maybe trying to steel some credit by playing with the name, either way, it shows dishonor, and a clear case of bad ethics.

    as for the software in question, well given the nature of it's early development, what can be said, it's another cleaner, that does a terrible and unreiliable job at present because of it's early state of development,
    perhaps in time it will become another good cleaner, but there are so many cleaner's at the moment, the question is, is there room for another one,

    a bit like applications like "Tuneup Utilities", there are so many of these types of program's now, one doesn't no where to begin, although this is off topic......

    The idea of being able to keep your drive clean automatically in the background sounds great, but the concept is flawed. Every file on your drive has been placed there for a purpose. In many instances when that purpose has been served the file may be deleted. The problem is that a program operating automatically at intervals does not know when that purpose has been served and can, at times, remove still important files.

    In manual mode, however, KCleaner is quite usable. In expert mode a nicely formatted list of files to be removed is displayed with the option to uncheck any file. Although the "file type" list is limited compared to other cleaners, it does include several legitimate "file types" I have not seen in other cleaners.

    CAUTION: Do not allow KCleaner to clean the "Adobe Reader Installer Cache". This will cause the uninstaller to crash.

    If the automatic mode and the "RK" software were removed, this program would get a higher rating. And yes, I do know that a lite version is available.

    Absolute great & top (does what it says) !!!

    Download the "Lite version" (without RK) on the KC Software-Site and don't tell such "nonsense"
    like Louis Serveaux, CyberDoc999, lastone & other fools (first read the developer instructions) !!!

    Umbelino: You, as well as I, did not read the disclaimer at the beginning of the install. It said it was installing "RK" software. You could have opted-out or removed it later with the add/remove software. I guess sometimes it pays to READ THE INSTRUCTIONS.

    I won't advise this tool, it wipes vital files of your system and replaces them with spyware, all without your knowledge.

    DO NOT trust this author.
