Our Facebook poll shows that 87% of Internet users use registry cleaners. I also belong to this majority, as I have CCleaner installed on my PC and regularly use it.

Freemake’s 2nd birthday celebration is in full swing. We continue to receive congratulations from all over the Internet. This time we asked reputable tech editors, bloggers, and writers to answer one simple question: “What do you think of Freemake software?”. Have a look at what they said to us.
