Haven’t tried BleachBit on Windows. Does it clean driver installation logs, compress browser databases, MRU explorer cache, opd prefetch files, Windows updates, etc.?
Can you elaborate on how it’s a virus? I hear this a lot but haven’t heard any substantial truth aside from referring to a privacy policy that is identical to 90% of every other website anyone else uses.
Piriform was a very trustworthy tool developer until it was surreptitiously bought by a chinese company and immediately turned into a virus for the next release. It instantly lost its trust and has been garbage since that day.

Article about it for those interested… According to this it does not still contain malware, but it has been the target of multiple attacks through the years that has in turn compromised many PC’s. The attack mentioned in this article was suspected to be a state sponsored attack by China, not sure about the others.
Not that person but I tried to do the secure cleaning mode where it zeros empty space but I think I was also downloading something at the same time. This was several years ago but I vaguely recall my system being unable to boot.
I haven’t used it in a long time, but I know that it has two versions, one root and the other is regular (that’s on Linux, not sure about Windows). Also don’t check those boxes that say something like “slow” or something like that. That’s just my experience. I’m pretty sure if you read up on it or watch a couple of YouTube videos you’ll figure it out.
