CCleaner Professional is the most powerful version of Piriform's celebrated Windows PC cleaner. It makes it easy to speed up a slow computer and keep your activity private — automatically and in the background.



Trusted by millions and critically acclaimed, there’s a reason why CCleaner Pro is the world’s favorite PC optimization tool! Easy to use, one-click cleaning so beginners can optimize their computers in seconds. Plus, it's packed with advanced features for power users.
  • Faster Computer
  • Privacy Protection
  • Real-time Monitoring
  • Scheduled Cleaning
  • Automatic Updates
  • Premium Support


These are some of the features you get with CCleaner Pro:

Automatic Updates
Windows and browsers constantly evolve. CCleaner Pro updates once a month to stay on top! Outdated apps are a security risk. Old software can have vulnerabilities, which are quickly discovered and shared amongst cybercriminals. CCleaner updates your software automatically to close security holes before they can be found.

Faster Computer
Is your computer running slow? As it gets older it collects unused files and settings which take up hard drive space making it slower and slower. It cleans up these files and makes it faster instantly.

Safer Browsing
Advertisers and websites track your behavior online with cookies that stay on your computer. It erases your web browser search history and cookies so any internet browsing you do stays confidential and your identity remains anonymous.

Automatic Cleaning
Regularly cleans junk files to keep your computer running smoothly.

Automatic Privacy Protection
Clears history and cookies when you're not using your web browser.

Fewer Errors & Crashes
Over time your registry can become cluttered with errors and broken settings which lead to crashes. CCleaner’s patented registry cleaner clears out this clutter to make your PC more stable.

Quicker Startup
Many programs run silently in the background when you start up your computer. CCleaner Pro version helps you get to work or play faster by letting you disable unneeded programs.

Note: 14 days trial version.
