A lightweight PC program designed specifically to help users clean junk files and other unneeded files from their computer.

An Overview of Clean Master

Society has always hotly contested the pros and cons of PC vs. Mac, with each side claiming to be a lot better than the others. Though when it’s broken down and you look at things program by program, it’s pretty clear that PC just has a lot more tools available. A tool like the Clean Master program for Windows is a great way to clean out useless junk from the PC. A lot of people take time to run their disk cleanup and disk defragmenter programs that come standard with all PCs, but these programs take hours of time, and there’s no real guarantee they’ll actually clean things up well.

This isn’t the case with Clean Master. It was designed specifically to ensure that it completely obliterates the junk programs, files and fragments on your PC that are not being used. It’s a very sleek PC program that operates almost as light and easy as a mobile app. It doesn’t require much processing power at all, and it’s relatively easy to use, even if you don’t know your way around a computer all that well. It was designed with these things in mind.

The Features of Clean Master

There are a lot of different features with Clean Master, but there are two versions of this, as is the case with a lot of programs. There’s the paid version, where you will get access to every feature; and then there’s a free version, that gives you access to features like program and registry searches, the option to delete, the option to schedule operations, etc. You also get the PC Boost feature with the free version, which goes into the registry and cleans things out so that your computer will theoretically run faster.

Other features with the free version of this program include Privacy Clean, which is meant to help you protect your passwords by specifically targeting any sort of junk file or document that contains password information to payment processors, e-wallets, bank accounts, etc.

How Clean Master Works

Clean Master works by targeting a list of hundreds of commonly used applications, most of which are pre-installed on your PC. You open this up just like any other program, and the user-friendly interface will provide you options on how to proceed. You want to choose the “Junk” section for specifically targeting these files and fragments to get rid of. After that, it’s a simple one-click process, where you push the button and watch the program work.

In totality, Clean Master will access over 1,000 programs on your computer to get rid of unnecessary files. You can use the PC Boost and Privacy Clean features the same way.
