Piriform just updated their system cleaning application, CCleaner, to version 3.16. Among the most notable changes in the latest release is the “Scheduled Tasks” tab in the built-in Startup tool, which lets you view the entries in Task Scheduler.

Also new in this release is the option to close web browsers when cleaning. The developer extended the list of applications that can be cleaned by CCleaner and included AIMP 3, Corel VideoStudio Pro X4 and AlZip.

Efficiency in cleaning already supported software, such as Snagit 10, AntiVir Desktop, Ashampoo Burning Studio 11, and Adobe Acrobat, has been improved.

CCleaner 3.16 improves Windows 8 compatibility and is more thorough when it removes history items in Firefox Aurora and Google Chrome. The full list of modifications is available on this page.

The application also comes as a portable download, which can be downloaded from this link.
