NOTE: Recent press about CCleaner indicates it may represent a privacy concern.
CCleaner is a feature-rich system optimization and privacy tool. The program cleans unused, temporary and log files from your system, as well as traces of online activities such as Internet history and flash cookies. The program contains startup controls for Windows, major internet browsers and context menu entries. Includes a separate registry cleaner, duplicate search, system restore tool and can wipe both deleted files and drive free space for security.
A 64-bit version is available (within the folder). Monitoring functions are only available in the pro version.
Additional cleaner rules can be using an unofficial set of community-developed set. It should be noted that many of these rules are alpha and the developers will not provide support for these rules, a thread in the users forum is dedicated to supporting the add-on rules.
Alternatively, ccPortable is also available.

ScummVM is an open-source platform that enables users to play classic adventure and RPG games. Originally designed to run games created with the SCUMM (Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion) engine by LucasArts, ScummVM has expanded to support a wide range of titles from different developers.
Instead of emulating the original hardware, ScummVM attempts to recreate the game engines underlying the games. This allows for better performance and compatibility across platforms while avoiding bugs that may be associated with original executables.
ScummVM offers features such as save state capabilities, improved graphics and audio settings, and support for modern control schemes such as touch screens. It is a great tool for gaming enthusiasts who wish to revisit classic titles on modern hardware.
