After running a scan, you’ll see an alarming count of the number of problems on your computer. It found 26267 issues on our computer. That’s an extremely alarming number — but what exactly is an issue?
  • Every browser cookie and history entry counts as a single issue.
  • Every temporary file counts as a single issue, no matter how tiny it is.
  • Invalid registry entries are considered issues, although they shouldn’t actually slow down your computer.
  • Our registry can be compacted a bit, but this shouldn’t make a noticeable different in performance
  • Every fragmented file counts as a single issue. MyCleanPC is measuring fragmentation based on the number of fragmented files, leading to a scary-looking 21.33% data fragmentation statistic. For comparison, the Windows Disk Defragmenter tells us we have 2% fragmentation.
