CCleaner 1.00.077 Beta 5-The famous Windows cleaner now for Mac

CCleaner is one of the most widely used and downloaded maintenance tools for
Windows. Now *CCleaner for Mac* is finally available, albeit in a much more
reduced form. The first thing you notice from this version if you've ever
used CCleaner for Windows is how many features are missing. The Uninstaller,
the Drive Wiper and Tools section are all missing. Of course, some of these,
such as The Registry Cleaner, aren't relevant to Macs anyway but its clear
from the start that Mac users have a much reduced version. In terms of
browsers, CCleaner for Mac is strictly limited to cleaning Safari and Firefox
- Chrome and Opera are not supported. It does, however, allow you to select
exactly which parts of the browsers you want to clean (i.e. include or
exclude, cookies, history, download history, etc.) In terms of hard drive
cleaning, CCleaner for Mac supports cleaning trash, recent files and servers,
cleaning of temporary folders and recent applications. That's about it for
functionality. There is a Preference option under File but its not accessible
yet for some reason. When it comes to actually cleaning, CCleaner is fast
like the Windows version. There's no progress bar to tell you how things are
going though if you Analyze or Clean - just a short pause and then a report
of what's been done. *CCleaner for Mac is nowhere near as complete as the
Windows version but as a one-stop cleaning tool for anyone that's familiar
with the Windows version, it's worth installing.*Download *CCleaner 1.00.077
