SlimCleaner Takes #1 Download Spot in its First Week

SlimCleaner? Hmm, I also wonder about programs like this and if they actually work. There’s also the fact that I don’t care for running programs on my computer that could mess it up..

/PRNewswire/ — In its first week on the market, SlimCleaner, the free software that uses community feedback to clean and improve PCs, captured the #1 spot in its category, Maintenance & Optimization, on the CNET Download.com Website. SlimCleaner reached the top spot in the first full week after its market launch on May 25.
