If the application does not start, check that you have the latest updates for Windows. Sometimes, security software marks files as unknown. You may need to click run anyway if a warning screen appears during installation.
If the scan stops, try closing all open web browsers and background applications. Running a scan while other programs are active can slow down the process. Ensure you have enough disk space for the program to create recovery points.
Use the help menu within the application if you encounter error codes. The help documentation covers most common scenarios.
Privazer cleans files by reading data in a read-only mode during the scan. It does not send your personal browsing habits to external servers. The software operates locally on your machine. You control exactly what gets deleted. The program creates a recovery point before it performs a deep clean. This lets you undo changes if specific system functions stop working.
Check the repository link regularly for new versions. Newer versions include support for updated Windows features and browser versions. Version updates fix bugs and improve the speed of the cleaning algorithms. Simply download the new version and run the installer again to overwrite the old files. Your current settings usually move to the new version automatically.

Removing these items provides more space on your hard drive. Most users notice a snappier response from their system after removing thousands of small temporary files. Use the software once a week for best results.
