I paid him 140 zł, used before the 10 days trial version installation program, I liked had a lot of useful features, such as "disk space explorer" who showed me which files are taking up the most space, besides, I noticed that your computer runs like a little faster.

I really don't pay for anything if I don't have to. They are rarely worth it.

Ccleaner will remove space-eating files you don't need AND clean up your registry (two big things that slow down your PC.

Smart Defrag will OPTIMIZE and defrag your HDD for free. This is another thing that slows down a PC.

I used to pay for Norton Utilities, but they've lost a lot of good features and only grew more expensive, so I won't ever buy Symantec's stuff now.

Junkware, if not, even malware.

I used AVG for years until it let through a devastating Trojan. Now AVG is dead to me.

CCleaner does work very well, imo.

Don't pay a cent, imo.
