    I run our home pc with user accounts set up for 5 separate users. Do i need to run CCleaner on each login to clean up?

    This is an Excellent question!
    CCleaner is sooo fast though (I don't know how they do it, must be specific targeting somehow),
    I used to run "Easy Cleaner" and it was fine but it took 10 minutes.
    There might be a way to have it auto-run after each log-on or log-off, I dunno for sure and I'd like to know.
    My wife uses Opera for browser on my PC, and I use Firefox, so when I run CCleaner I can see stuff from Opera got deleted,
    but we don't have separate accounts on my PC.
    She just uses my account and logs onto Opera.
    Last month I had to go through "Read Me- Run Me" big hairy malware removal and I remember one step included going through each user account,
    but now I got rid of all my miscellaneous accounts.
    I like having an extra account in case I'm not home and somebody wants to borrow my PC, like my daughter, my wife(separated but friends), or even my son.
    I have plenty of storage (80 gigabytes...79% free) but low Ram 384 Mb.
    My PC is about 7 years old.
    What is that in human years? like 70? LOL

    I "think" just from watching what it removes that it only cleans the account that is logged on.

    There is a option to "Run CCleaner when computer starts" it's located under Options>Settings. I believe you would have to log into each account and check that box under each account. Then each time that account gets logged into, CCleaner runs.

    Hope this helps.
