If you want to make sure your computer runs smoothly even if its hardware components are getting quite old, you can regularly clean files left behind by other apps, remove the traces left within browsers or scan your hard drive. While there are dedicated applications that can perform each of these tasks, there are also some that can be used for all these jobs and more, such as Advanced Cleaner.

Before installing this software solution, you need to make sure you have .NET Framework 4.0 installed on your PC, otherwise the utility will not function properly.

The installation process goes smoothly and you can access the intuitive main window within seconds - then you simply need to choose the component you want to launch first.

You can start by initiating a virus scan that would detect all the suspicious files on your PC so you can remove them afterwards.

You can also rely on Advanced Cleaner to remove a wide range of data from your computer, such as temporary files, system temp files, log files, recent files, all installed browser data and preview files, as well as delete the contents of the Recycle Bin and of the Download folder.

The application can also be used to clean and fix your browsers, such as Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, Chrome and Opera, while also boosting the overall performance of your PC and optimizing RAM.

Once you have erased all the data you selected, it is best to restart your computer to ensure all changes are successfully applied.

Advanced Cleaner can come in handy to all beginner users who want to take matters into their own hands, so they decide to tweak and optimize their PC without expert assistance. Depending on your computer, the app might occasionally hang or crash, but restarting it usually fixes the issue.
