Fast Browser Cleaner

Web browsers can accumulate a huge amount of temporary data, which clogs up the hard drive and reduces performance in time. Rather than searching for those files in Windows Explorer and removing them manually, you could use a specialized tool to remove those files faster and easier. A good example is Fast Browser Cleaner. It can scan for trace data, left behind by popular web browsers and remove it immediately. Additionally, the software can remove security risks, like saved passwords or browser add-ons, and it also lets you revert changes that certain applications or installers may have made.

Fast Browser Cleaner is free to try, with some limitations. It comes in a small package and it can be installed in under a minute, on Windows XP or any later edition. The software doesn't have any special requirements and it doesn't need a significant amount of disk space, memory or processing power to run.

The user interface has a fairly simple design and its controls are easy to master. Its Overview page presents a few statistics, like the amount of temporary Internet files and history URLs on your hard drive, as well as the total number of detected browser add-ons, detected adware, unprotected passwords and other details. The software lets you choose what browsers to scan, so you don't have to wait for a longer scan, if you only want to clean up your default browser. You can aim the application at Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Opera.

You can start a scan right away, by clicking a large green button on the Overview page. Even with all browsers selected, it should take only a few seconds to complete the scan. The results are displayed on the same interface, but on a separate tab. You can sift through and select the found temporary files, passwords, add-ons and other data, for each browser separately. What's more, if the software has detected any adware, it will display the items on their own page. Once you have decided what to remove, you only need to click a button to start cleaning up your browsers.

Besides removing junk data, Fast Browser Cleaner lets you make a few fine tweaks to your browsers, in case something has changed their home pages or default search engines. You can change the startup, home and "new tab" pages of each browser, set a different search providers and more. You only need to click a few check boxes and radio buttons to make these settings, so you won't encounter any kind of difficulties.

With Fast Browser Cleaner, it takes only a few clicks and a few seconds of your time to make your browsers run better and free up valuable disk space.
