This will not only clean the Web, but also your home systems. Users are advised to put large plastic garbage bags around their systems to collect the dust. This should speed things up considerably.

It works pretty well. I also use Glary Utilities, which you can fine on the CNet downloads. It has a one button tune up, which cleans registry and deletes temp files, etc. It is pretty good.
