Another new tool I'll probably try out this weekend....

Freely available for Windows 11 and 10, Fluent Cleaner promises to rid your system of temp files, junk files, old Registry entries, and other stuff that take up space and slow down Windows. The tool analyzes all the extra and unnecessary items across several categories.
Click to expand...

the developer of Fluent Cleaner promises no annoying toolbars, no extra partner apps, and no telemetry. Plus, you don't need to install the program; just run the .exe file to launch it. Think of the software as a modern and clean version of CCleaner.

I ran both FluentCleaner and SirCLeaner to see how they compared. See screenshot for results from both. Fluent loads and scans faster, bit Sir finds more stuff. (Screenshot is big - scroll to see all of it.)

I gave it a try but Nod32 says the FCleaner.dll is a virus. It won't ignore it even though I told it to. It says it was logged as a virus 1 week ago.

Probably both false positives - those antimalware programs are probably just doing what they're supposed to do, with the use of heuristics : identifying something that is designed to access the system

However, all signs of sloppily written software - antimalware not design to exclude genuine system access programs, and cleaning software not designed to bypass antimalware

Pas pour moi.

Best of luck using these programs. These developers don't have Microsoft's inside knowedge and might delete vital files.
