Jen Maday: When you are running Java applications, yes, it slows down your computer. Java applications depend on a virtual machine, which is far less efficient than programs written in languages like C++, which is usually executed directly by the hardware (some exceptions for things like .NET).If you are not running any Java applications, Java has no effect on your computer's speed.

Oscar Wieland: Javascript is the form of java used on websites,Java per se is a language, quite resource-consuming, and yes, running multiple applications in java can significantly slow down your computer. Look at minecraft. In other languages it would've been less heavy on a computer.

Which you simply can't do without it....Show more

Rosie Travino: No. It only runs when needed like on some websites or other programs that require it.

Conrad Puleio: CCleaner is a freeware system optimization and privacy tool. It removes unused files from your system - allowing Windows to run faster and freeing up valuable hard disk space. It also cleans traces of your online activities such as your Internet history. CCleaner also fixes your registry.
