Go to www.filehippo.com Look under "most popular downloads" and click on the link for ccleaner, which will take you to a page where you can download it. Do you also have anti-virus, anti-adware and anti-spyware?

No offence But if you can't follow the instructions in either post #7 or #8, I would suggest taking it in and getting a comp tech to do this for you (or ask a geeky friend).

IF YOU have the box your computer came in then go get it......unplug the computer and stuff it back in the box.....then take it to the shop you got it from and tell em you cant use it cause you simply dont have the intelligence to follow VERY simple instructions.......take up knittin or gardening instead....

Step by step instructions for CCleaner http://tinyurl.com/2evrfl save d/l & install then run ccleaner go into Options/advanced/ and untick the box "Only delete files in temp folder older than 48Hrs" GO back to cleaner & tick or untick each of the application you want cleaned ,I always start by ticking all ,your choice ,be aware that some data jpg etc can be stored in strange places like the temp folder /recycle bin which will be emptied by ccleaner these folders should be checked by going here 1st start/control panel/Internet options /settings /view files/view objects checking here before ticking on ccleaner & checking in recycle bin/then analyze /when finished run cleaner/ click-on issues/then scan for issues/fix selected issues/save back ups & delete latter on when all clear /fix all selected issues/OK/close/repeat till none.this is best performed in safemode Tap f8 on PC start-up http://tinyurl.com/yw4rr

Case n point As to why people should have to take a course and pass a test before they are allowed to own a computer.

Classic case of ID10T or PEBKAC to me...

Just be careful what you download from filehippo and majorgeeks sites. I downloaded Spyware doctor from one of these sites and my computer started freezing, almost completely stopped. Had to do take the programme off the computer and do a system restore, now it is able to be used again. Still feel as though I might need to get a technician to look at it next week as it should be faster than what it is.

#18 hang on a minute knitting can be quite complicated too.

That's why I always insist that people download any freeware from the originators of that software (where possible) and not from some file sharing or freeware site. Examples: Spybot S&D from safernetworking, Spyware Blaster from Javacool, Crap Cleaner from ccleaner.com and Ad-Aware from Lavasoft. There is Adaware and Ad-Aware and only the one from Lavasoft is 'safe'.
