Run Secunia Online Software Inspector to see what other applications are vulnerable: http://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/online

It cleans that folder for me on XP Pro except for the files that are in use and I haven't had a problem yet.

It was a network hiccup and is fine now.

I tried Ashampoo but did not like it. Its all up to familiarity I guess.

Must be an expression from over your side of the pond as I thought it was the sort of sound you make after a meal of Brown Beans on toast and a cup of coffee: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/579869 Brings to mind the campfire scene in Blazing Saddles:

When I run Defraggler v1.07.124 on my Vista system and Check for updates... I receive the following IE error message window: Service Unavailable Other than that it is working fine.

I used to volunteer at a local seniors community center and they had more modern systems than what I'm trying to sell. It seemed that the only thing they were used for was to play Solitaire. I may offer it here for people to use as a free Internet access system to check their Hotmail and stuff if I get no offers.
