Get rid of deep down dirt

The problem with Windows is that it's continually creating temporary files and leaving them behind. This can seriously slow down your system over a long period of time. This utility is suited for systems that contain too many unused files that have been created over a PC's lifetime. In other words, it does a pretty damn thorough search of every last remaining unnecessary file.

Sometimes such data can be well hidden or buried within your operating system but Dustbin deep searches your entire hard drive until it finds files that have literally been there since you first got your computer. For such a deep search however, the scan is suspiciously short taking only a few minutes depending on the size if your drive. However, it's very low on resources and is often updated so that it requires minimal CPU usage and maximum performance according to the developers.

A very fast deep scan that might not do everything it says on the tin but will still throw up a few surprise files you never knew existed.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
