Comodo System-Cleaner is a suite of utilities designed to improve the security, performance and usability of Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP computers.

The application also features additional privacy utilities such as a tool that deletes files permanently and a tool to shut down applications that are preventing you from deleting a file.
Comodo System-Cleaner Features:
Clean-up Tasks:
-
Registry Cleaner - Optimizes and repairs your Windows registry by running an in-depth scan to identify, remove or repair any unnecessary or corrupted entries. After running a scan, Windows will be able to access the information it needs from the registry much more quickly - meaning your computer will get an immediate performance and stability boost.
-
Privacy Cleaner - Obliterates your digital paper trail by cleaning history, cache, cookies and usage records from Internet browsers, Windows locations and popular software.
-
Disk Cleaner - Over time your disk drives become cluttered with temporary Internet files, logs, needless archives, unused icons and duplicate files. Apart from eating up disk space, these junk files can make your computer work slower. Comodo Disk Cleaner takes care of this by identifying and deleting all unnecessary files on your computer.
-
Force Delete - Often when you want to delete or move a file you will see a message stating ‘You cannot perform the action because this file is used by another application’. 'Force Delete' solves this annoying problem by scheduling the file for deletion whenever the computer is next restarted.
-
Shredder - When you delete a file from Windows, it is not really gone in the sense that you might think. The operating system just marks the area where the file was located as available so that it can write to it in future. However, the file itself can still be recovered by a variety of specialist software – possibly for malicious purposes. The 'Shredder' utility enables you to overcome this potential threat to your privacy by permanently deleting files so that they can never be recovered.
