Cleaner Kit is a suite of tools aimed at optimising your PC's performance.

Six different tools let you find and delete duplicate files (Clone Hunter), delete your browser cache, history and cookies (Trail Remover), delete temporary files (Temp File Remover), securely erase data (Wipe Delete), delete broken links (Links Repairer) and clean the registry (Registry Analyst).

When deleting files, whether with Clone Hunter, Trail Remover or Temp File Remover you are presented with a list of results from which you simply select the files you wish to delete.

Some lists can be long and there doesn't appear to be a 'select all' function, which means you have to manually select each file. This can be time-consuming.

The Registry Analyst is the most powerful tool, letting you uninstall programs, remove obsolete DLL files and manage the applications that run at Start Up.

It might not look particularly special, and some of the help files are a little vague, but for those who know a little bit about what they are doing it isn't a bad set of tools.

Verdict

A few glitches and a poor interface let down an otherwise solid program.
