    It's not just a good alternative to CCleaner, it's even better than this. I can not confirm the Bundleware, at least not since a long time ago, even File Puma, Glary's own page is a highly recommended site to find and download software of all kinds.

    Glary Utilities, to my knowledge, has not been hacked and packed with malware.

    Powerful, but slow, and complicated. It's very aggressive, and difficult to configure.

    I'm really surprised how something this good can be free and most importantly ad-free. Definitely going to donate to keep up the good work! Thumbs up

    Not a good alternative, seems like a bait and switch company. Got a really bad feeling with their free trial and deleted immediately.

    Microsoft PC Manager is a useful addition to your toolbox. I'm sure it can get down in to nooks and crannies that even CrapCleaner was scared to dig in to. I don't see a registry cleaner, but it does have a handful of other tools. On the other hand you need to pay attention, and disable it's default "revert system settings, browsers and etc. when you first use it. I disabled all options that sounded like they might be used for telemetry, also. Anyway, pending Malware being discovered in it, I'm going to give it a thumbs up and keep using it for now. :)
