In version 18-878 there is a new addition in the check box options on the left side .......”wipe free space” !

I did that first few times and it does take a while initially but very very little time after initial cleaning !

never a fault for me cept when it IS FR’s issues versus mine ........

Good luck !!

Stay safe !

I'll watch for that next time I run it. Usually I do empty my IE7 cache first but I wouldn't have to. What does "wipe clean space" mean and what does it do that it hasn't already been doing?

I didn't think it was an FR issue UNLESS they probably do check for browser in order to know how to send you the data; most sites do anyway. Because it worked in FF and IE7, I thought it was Netscape.

No matter, it's better now. Could be a coincidence.

It's amazing all the cookies you collect in a short while. I hope it throws them off when you wipe them out even if you go back to some regular sites and pick them right back up again. But they're not the space hogs some of the other junk is that I can't get rid of through maintenance.

I could defrag anyway just to get everything all neat in line but figure why bother. I don't bother with disk cleanup any more since using CCleaner. Should I?

BTW, I saved the instructions for sys restore. Thanks to that poster. That could be why it didn't work before; I didn't go into safe mode and just did it the easy way. Things transparent to me could be running in the bg, like Norton for sure and a few other things.

Anybody know how I get rid of the Win messenger icon in systray near the clock? I tried to get rid of it going into dos and cleaning up my startup menu, but it keeps coming back, so I just put up with it.

I've got a tech coming from BB Saturday because I could not get my router installed and network my old machine with the new imac. Hurts my pride, but Linksys could not figure out what was wrong. Maybe he (assuming gender there) will notice something else, and I sure hope he knows what he is doing. I plan to watch and take notes.
