The main advantage of Health Check is that it takes just a couple of clicks to free up space and remove some traces. Users who want the full cleaning functionality find it under custom clean. Privacy for example focuses on cookies, the download history, and temporary Internet files.
Privacy and space focus on some areas of cleaning. The module runs privacy, space, speed and security scans just like before, and the latter two are still reserved to the Pro version. While you get to see the results as a teaser, you cannot use the modules unless you upgrade to a paid version. Health Check's functionality has not changed much (at all?) when compared to the preview released last year. The default cleaning option is set to Health Check but you may change that back to custom clean under Options > Settings > CCleaner Home Screen. The program displays an announcement on start that Health Check is now available. Avast improved them by making them opt-in and presenting them to the user in a separate step. The release notes highlight that installer offers for Avast and CCleaner products may still be presented. The installation of CCleaner 5.64 Free did not include any third-party offers but these may be offered. Has Health Check become any better since that initial release? Let's find out.
We looked at CCleaner's Health Check feature when it was first announced in 2019 and concluded that it was a basic cleaning option for users who don't want to or can't use the full cleaning options. New functionality was added such as Easy Clean Mode, designed as a one-click stop to run clean-up operations and new features of professional versions such as a new Software Updater. There have been forced automatic updates and advertising popups, Avast offers in CCleaner that could change important system settings, and issues with certain releases privacy-wise. Ever since Avast acquired Piriform, maker of CCleaner, in 2017, controversy surrounded the software and some of the decisions that were made.
