Do I really need this for my computer? Mine is old and runs really slow, this is suppose to speed it up. I have a question, will this interfer with my antivirus software? I am wondering if my antivirus will see it as something that shouldn't be on my computer.

I guess I'll take a chance on this. I was hoping someone could offer some advice.

Win Cleaner has been around for a long time. It's effective when used regularly.

I guess you have already purchased this? I've never heard of this company, but I've heard of others like them.
Everything this thing claims it does can all be done by yourself. Its easy to search online to get how to information to keep your computer clean and up-to-date. In less than 1/2 hour per week, or 1 hour once a month, you can physically perform all of the tasks this thing says it does. Those are estimated times, probably take even less time if these steps became routine maintenance, as each action wouldn't have as much to remove on a routine basis.
Personally, I wouldn't spend money on a gadget like this. However, I guess using something like this would be better than never doing anything to clean files from your system.
I cannot speak to whether something like this would cause any other system problems? Thats one reason why I would prefer to do these tasks on my own, rather than plugging some gadget in, and letting it do who knows what to the inside of my computer. I doubt very highly that this gadget contains any sort of virus or malware type of thing, though.
Reading the specs of this thing online it says that you use this with your virus protection. So your question about will it interfere, apparently not.
One note to other who are looking at this, the spec do mention that this gadget DOES NOT work with Mac. This is only for use with PC computers.
If you move forward with the purchase, please let us know how it goes after you receive it. I am sure you will see some difference after running it for the first time. My only concern would be with long time use.

Thanks for the reply. I'm not tech savvy at all and just thought this would be easy for even me! I didn't order yet but am going to now.

Some of the reviews are good and some not so good. I saw a commercial last night on TV that advertised two WinCleaners for $19.99 and it's on their website. I wonder what the difference is.

Hi nutmeg3. I ended up cancelling the WinCleaner. Are these links secure? Are these free or do you have to pay for downloading them? I am sorry for the questions, but like I said I am not tech savvy and am not sure if I should use these or even how to use them.

Hi, Jordan ... I agree with Nutmeg and use CCleaner ... the free version (also don't check the registry tools).
My Sony desktop automatically defrags on a timed regular basis, and although I have Auslogics installed on my computer, I've rarely had to use it.
Nutmeg and I save lots of money by not buying into these gadgets "as shown on TV."
