Comodo System Cleaner collects three free and useful cleaning utilities: Registry Cleaner, Disk Cleaner, and Privacy Cleaner. Running these utilities will rid your computer of duplicate, harmful, or otherwise unnecessary files.It is easy to use. Before it runs a cleaning task, it creates a backup of your system to prevent any accidental loss of data. Day-to-day computing inevitably causes stray files and other debris to build up in your system. Running Comodo System Cleaner’s utilities on your laptop PC will clean out a whole bunch of unneeded junk on your system without deleting anything you didn’t want it to.  The process is swift and efficient. Comodo System Cleaner is able to find junk that the other programs have missed. We don’t suggest running this program in lieu of your standard antivirus and spyware program, but it’s a nice complement. There’s a Help file available as well as support from the manufacturer.

Comodo System Cleaner is as well-designed and functional a program as its’ competitors, yet it’s free, which makes it the best bargain there is: CNET Download.com http://download.cnet.com/Comodo-System-Cleaner/
