ATF Cleaner is a free temporary file cleaner, perfect for the security-conscious user. Ordinarily, temporary files would be removed from your computer when you restart it, however shutting your PC down completely is a little out of fashion. That means that odds are you need a temporary file remover.

It does more than just save space. ATF Cleaner removes both temporary files and pieces of malware. There are tons of reasons why you'd rather use a program to remove temporary files. Whether you are a person who appreciates privacy, or you like saving space, using a program to rid yourself of temp files is the fastest, easiest way to get rid of them.

When it comes to malware, sketchy websites tend to load fragments to your temporary files so that your virus scanner won't detect it. Running temp file cleaners regularly help to ensure that websites can't slyly piece together any malware on your computer.

ATF Cleaner isn't the best on the market, but it's free and it's better to have than to not. It won't catch every fragment of malware, nor will it detect and delete every temporary file, but it's good to use and it'll get most. Good on its own, and great to use with other cleaners.

It's compatible with Windows 2000 and Windows XP operating systems, but will not work with Windows 10.
