QuickClean features
Cleaning your PC
The first time that you use QuickClean you must select the items that you want to clean. Once you set it up, QuickClean saves your settings so that anytime you want to clean your PC, you can do so quickly. You can also change your settings whenever you want.
Shredding files, folders, and disks
When you use Shredder to delete the contents of your Recycle Bin and Temporary Internet Files folder, the tool ensures that the information cannot be recovered. You can also use Shredder to delete the entire contents of a removable drive, including external hard drives, writeable CDs, and floppy disks.
Windows Defragmenter
The Windows Defragmenter, a Microsoft tool, helps improve your PC's performance by consolidating fragmented files and folders. The Tools page of your McAfee software gives you easy access. To learn about the Windows Defragmenter tool, read your Windows help file.
