I’m not sure if you’re aware, but Yahoo! has a CC Cleaner program. I’ve used it before and it’s a great way to keep your account clean and organized. However, I was recently made aware of a different version of the CC Cleaner that is available on Yahoo! It’s called “Yahoo! CC Cleaner Plus.” The main difference between the two programs is that “Yahoo! CC Cleaner Plus” doesn’t require you to sign in to your Yahoo! account. Instead, it uses an anonymous login system. This means that you can use this program without any worry about being tracked or monitored. The other big difference between the two programs is that “Yahoo! CC Cleaner Plus” doesn’t include any features of the original “CC Cleaner.” However, this program does include a number of additional features that are designed specifically for online users. For example, “Yahoo! CC Cleaner Plus” includes support for anti-virus protection and privacy protection. If you’re interested in using “Yahoo! CC Cleaner Plus,” be sure to check out their website and see if they have any special offers or deals available.
I went ahead and installed CC Cleaner v 2.06 with the Yahoo toolbar just for the fun of it. Before doing this I set my default browser to IE 8 Beta 1. Sure you it will allow you to run CC Cleaner from the browser … but how necessary is this? I have never been a fan of extra toolbars and Yahoo’s is certainly no exception.
I suppose if you are already a huge fan of Yahoo’s services and want to keep dibs on everything while you surfing the web, you might want to install the Yahoo toolbar, there certainly is plenty to choose from. All of your favorite Yahoo applications are easily accessible.
If you want to remove the Yahoo toolbar and not CC cleaner you will need to go into Add / Remove programs and uninstall both instances of Yahoo.
One more thing to note … when installing CC Cleaner v 2.06 with the Yahoo toolbar, there is an option to not include the toolbar at all with the installation. Just be sure to uncheck the box before hitting Install.
However, if you still want to use your favorite PC performance utility and are not a fan of any kind of toolbar and prefer not to deal with the hassle of uninstalling, I recommend downloading CC Cleaner Slim. Which is only a 650KB download and none of the hassle of uninstalling the Yahoo toolbar.
