Hello all,
Just a friendly reminder that we have had direct contact with the Vice President of Piriform, the makers of CCleaner. If you do happen to purchase the commercial version of CCleaner, you are buying a great piece of software, and here is why:
For organizational management, you will never need to download the latest version of CCleaner again. CCleaner automatically updates itself for you.
CCleaner Pro supports every account on a Windows Client or Server system. That means you can clean out every account in one click, without switching accounts.
CCleaner Pro has been developed by a programmer who just won't compromise - he will always offer CCleaner for free, but the professional version is available for those who support his work. The network version is available for those who want to run it across a Windows Active Directory infrastructure. He really cares about the integrity of his program, and that is so much evidenced in his work.
My communications that were on again and off again with the VP of Piriform weren't just evidence of that, they were specifically conveyed to me that this was the case. If you do have some loose change around, consider purchasing CCleaner Pro. You will get quality support from Piriform, and you won't need to worry about automatic updates. Here was one of our early reviews of the program with Mitchell Anthony:
If you do decide to buy CCleaner Pro, the Vice President of Piriform worked out a deal with us for our members and visitors. Use discount code DXY-SK1-TLC. You will still get Defraggler for free, but you will be surprised by the cost reduction on the software. Just thought I would throw this in there, since we spent a lot of time working with Piriform to try to make their software (clearly the #1 Windows clean-up utility) accessible to all of our visitors. We sold thousands of copies of Uniblue RegistryBooster. But at the end of the day? We still thought and knew that CCleaner was a better program. It is just kind of difficult to get people to understand why buying a free program is worth it. It is sort of the same reason donating money to a website is worth it. If you enjoy what you are getting, those funds help make the continuation of the product or service possible, even when it is provided free of charge.
Take care,
Mike
