Installed with no issues. Ran Ccleaner first to compare. As another user noted, it offered to clear a whole lot more than Ccleaner. However:
1-It completely wiped Windows search (Win10), so that it disabled it completely. I went through each option carefully and did not notice that would happen, perhaps because what it was identifying was not in english!!!

2-It wiped and disabled Google Desktop, again, its cache is gone (found no way to determine this ahead of time so I could mark it as ignored).

3-Incorrectly marked a Windows backup as MS Office cache, essentially it defaulted to wiping my WINDOWS SYSTEM IMAGE backup while incorrectly identifying what it was!!! Thankfully I caught it because I knew from a previous issue what the directories were, otherwise it too would have been wiped.

I foolishly allowed it to wipe what it identified as a huge windows cache, because I could not identify what it was pointing to (aside from not being in english, Windows itself did not let me access the directory to take a look, but apparently this program had no problem getting in there, I suspect this maybe where the Windows search may have been located, but it was not identified as such.

I would NOT recommend this program until the ENTIRE interface is in english, so that at the very least an experienced user like myself could better understand what it was about to do.

I would definitely NOT recommend it to a casual user, because the defaults are far too aggressive, deleting things that should never be deleted, and the above is only what I have been able to identify so far, not sure what other damage it did.

The fact that that Avast antivirus did not like the installation was not very comforting at all, but I did follow the advice and temporarily disabled it so it would install. Not sure anymore whether that was such a good idea after what the program did . . .

Since it doesn't run automatically, I will keep it around still, but Ccleaner is much more explicit, careful, and conservative with what it does, so I will use it instead.

This software changed my monitor orientation from portrait to landscape, scrambled my desktop icons, and resized them.

Old Soldier, when ever u plan on installing a new software do as i do and create a restore first and use it to undo any changes done or use a sandbox to test new apps. that's actually the safest way to protect your OS ,files and settings.find a free one online that u like and use it.

Pleasantly surprised by this.

Ran CCleaner to get rid of the usual junk that I clean and then ran Clean Master, which identified nearly 2Gb of junk that CCleaner wasn't cleaning and all done without any adverse affects after a reboot.

The other sections should be used with a little care but each element allows you to check what changes will be made so that you can avoid where necessary (some boost options stop services and apps loading at startup that you may find useful).

But for what it is and what it does, on the surface it appears to do the job it claims to.

I still say that any jink cleaning software vendor should produce a comparison table alongside CCleaner because that is the one application that most people will use (and for free), so to be able to expressly show that your paid for product is worth it, giving people an opportunity to see what yours does that another cannot may well help to persuade people to part with their money.
