Last month Piriform was teasing us by announcing a brand new 4.0 version of its CCleaner utility. Today we are glad to announce that Piriform released the aforementioned CCleaner 4.0. Get it right now, right here on FindMySoft.

Late this February, Piriform let the world know that CCleaner 3.28 would be the last update from the 3.X series. The privately owned UK software developer dedicated to creating top quality applications for Windows and Mac announced at the time that it is working on a brand new version, mainly CCleaner 4.0. the company did not release full details at the time – it only mentioned that version 4.0 would feature “freshened graphics” and “new system monitoring features”.

On Tuesday, March 26, Piriform released the brand new CCleaner version 4.0. As promised, the application comes with improved graphics. Also, as promised, the application comes with some nice new features. Here’s a quick look.

CCleaner 4.0 New Features
  • Duplicate File Finder – duplicates do nothing but waste disk space, so it makes sense to uncover and remove them. The latest CCleaner version does that for you. With its new duplicate file finder tool it will uncover duplicates, remove them, and free up disk space.
  • System and Browser Monitoring – meant for advanced users, this feature lets set it up so that CCleaner will run every time you shut down your PC. Alternatively, you can set it up so that CCleaner runs in the background, monitors your system, and cleans up your machine.

CCleaner 4.0 Release Notes (as provided by Piriform)
  • New improved graphics and icon.
  • Improved internal architecture for better performance.
  • New Duplicate File Finder tool.
  • New System and Browser Monitoring (Pro Version).
  • Optimized and improved Registry Cleaning.
  • Added cleaning for Avast Antivirus 8, Adobe Photoshop CS6, Samsung Kies and Real Player 16.
