What’s included with McAfee QuickClean?
McAfee QuickClean uses safe and simple wizards to perform its major tasks.
When you use a wizard to clean up your hard disk or manage applications, at
each step you see exactly what you are specifying, and you can go back to
previous screens and change options if you change your mind.
Even if you are an expert computer user, wizards can automate tasks, such as
removing junk files, that would otherwise be time-consuming or error-prone.
McAfee QuickClean wizards
nRemove: Deletes any program you specify, and removes all related
shortcuts and registry entries.
nSpaceMaker: Deletes unnecessary files in specific categories until it
has freed the amount of disk space you specify.
nApplication Remnant Cleaner: Helps you remove files remaining in
your computer due to the removal of an application.
nFolder Browser: Analyzes the contents of your hard disk and
identifies folders you may wish to consider to move, remove, or
compress.

Product Guide 15

offsetting association; i.e.: shortcuts, favorites.
nDuplicate Files Cleaner: Scans your computer and enables the
removal of duplicate files from your computer.
nTemporary Internet Files (Cache) Cleaner: Frees hard disk space by
deleting cached (temporary Internet) Internet files.
nE-mail Cleaner: Enables the removal of e-mail messages and their
attachments from the “sent messages”and “deleted messages”
folders.
nCookies Cleaner: Removes Internet cookies from your computer.
Some Web sites store information in a small text file, called a
“cookie,”on your hard disk.
nActiveX and Plug-ins Cleaner: Enables the removal of ActiveX
(objects in a web page that provide interactive and user controllable

unconnected items on various folders such as your PC’s Internet
cache, Recycle Bin, temporary files, shortcuts and Windows registry.
nRestore: Restores deleted applications or files if backup copies were

TIP
Wizards are designed to be easy to understand and to use. Each
wizard screen tells you what you need to know and the required
information. If you want to know more about a wizard, click Help.
By default, SpaceMaker and Remove wizards create backup copies of files
before they are deleted. Although you can turn off backup creation when
you run the wizard, it is a good idea to make backups. Later, when you are
sure that you do not want to undo any actions, you can delete the backup
copy.
