This is alright for novices and gets rid of the obvious and not at all harmful. Good because it doesn't touch the registry.

I use 3.8.1 beta. Every time I've tried newer versions they continually put an icon on my desktop and no matter what I do including not load it at start up it will always find it way back. Has anyone had any luck with newer version not behaving this way ?

In the settings it says that if you set it to on it will automatically boost your pc when there is high usage of RAM or there are 1GB+ temp files to clear.

I did it and lowered the amount of used RAM and cleared temp files. I don't do something resource demanding at the moment to tell the difference, but in theory it should improve performance.
