There is absolutely no doubt that CCleaner is one of the top system cleaning applications on the market, as it comes with state-of-the-art features to remove unnecessary files, fix broken registry items and uninstall apps from a simple and easy-to-use interface.

As a result, every single update that reaches the web is like a godsend for those who are running it and hoping to keep their computers in tip-top shape.

That's actually the purpose of CCleaner 4.14, a new version rolled out today that brings support for even more applications, while also fixing bugs and addressing performance issues found in the previous releases. But let's take all the changes one by one and see how they can improve the performance of your system.

First of all, the new version brings improved Firefox and Mozilla-based browser cookie cleaning, meaning that if you've already installed the Australis flavor of the browser, CCleaner can take care of it for you.

At the same time, it also improves operating system detection and Startup item unicode support. These two features are specifically aimed at those running Windows 8.1 Update because in some cases, CCleaner failed to properly detect the OS version powering your computer, so the results could be below expectations.

CCleaner 4.14 also packs support for new apps, including PowerArchiver 2013, Nitro Pro 9 and Stardock WindowBlinds cleaning, while also improving compatibility for the existing ones, such as Microsoft Office 2010, Foxit Reader 6, AVG AntiVirus 8, 9, 10, 2012 and 2013.

Enhanced 64-bit Registry detection and cleaning architecture is also part of this new release, so users running 64-bit operating system versions should get basically the same results as those on 32-bit platforms.

The feature lineup remains unchanged, so you get the same powerful features to clean your computer and remove temporary files, history, cookies, download and form history from the most popular browsers on the market, including Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera, and Safari. At the same time, it can also remove unnecessary Windows files, such as the items placed in the Recycle Bin, recent documents, temporary and log files.

The registry cleaner also comes in handy because it provides advanced features to remove unused and old entries from a wide variety of categories, including file extensions, icons, and invalid shortcuts.

Overall, everyone should at least try out this new version of the application, so download CCleaner 4.14 right now to get all these improvements on your computer as well.
