Network Edition brings CCleaner capabilities to IT organizations

Piriform Software has released a brand new version of its popular cleaning tool for Windows. CCleaner Network Edition is aimed at corporations wishing to use CCleaner's capabilities across an entire network. It's designed to be managed from a single central location, allowing IT managers to set up one cleaning profile that's implemented consistently across all workstations running CCleaner. Prices start from $250 for 10 computers, although Piriform is currently offering a 20 percent discount during the program's launch period.

Hot on the heels of the Network Edition's release, Piriform has also updated the standalone edition of CCleaner, which is free for personal and non-commercial use. CCleaner 3.03 adds support for three minor browsers -- including Chrome Plus -- alongside its existing support for Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari and Opera.

CCleaner 3.03 also adds support for cleaning out saved browser passwords, as well as capabilities for cleaning multiple profiles in Chrome and the Recent Search History in Safari. It also improves support for cleaning saved forms in Chromium-based browsers and the AutoComplete Form history in IE9. Cached cleaning in Firefox and Opera has also been improved.

The program also adds support to a number of programs, including Adobe Reader 9 and X, and a bug whereby autocorrect settings were removed when cleaning Office XP and 2003 has also been fixed. There are more rules for cleaning out the Windows Most Recently Used (MRU) files list, along with a number of minor UI improvements and fixes.

CCleaner 3.03 and CCleaner Network Edition require Windows 2000 or later; the Network Edition also supports Windows Server 2003 and 2008.
