Hi, I have been advised to try CCleaner because my computer is running very slowly. I have duly downloaded this and set it running but it seems to have been running for hours!! Is this normal? Advice would be appreciated. Thanks. Cx. |

Hi Lindsey, I've had my computer about 15 months now. I have had to go out but left it on - so I just sit tight then? |

A lot of these programs give you the jitters cos they say you have lots that need cleaning up , will do a basic search amd them want money to download their product. |

Hi Lindsey, would you believe that as soon as I went back and checked it (I'm on my daughter's computer now), it had finished - isn't that just typical? |

Hello friend Frank. There was a percentage bar but nothing was showing, just the whirly circle and that was on for hours. I have had a look at the hard drive and it is now just half full as opposed to being almost full last night. I still seem a bit slow (no comment) but have also spoken to my ISP folk who say that there has been a problem at the exchange. We will wait and see!! |

Hi. Do you think it could be because it was the first time I had used it? Cx. |

Thank you kind sir! I have just seen your message and done as you suggested. The cleaner shot through at a great rate of knots but, on checking my hard drive, it is still at least half full. Ummmmm. Anyway, the speed seems a little better at the moment so I will make the most of it. |
