Another bit of interesting trivia. How long would it take to count to 1 million? Google is your friend. I don't even want to think about a Billion but I would like to hold the Billions the government are going to use to bail out GM and Chrysler in my bank account for one month though.

Is Hide inactive icons checked?

Do you see avast's blue ball spinning while using the game? If you do then it is scanning files or the Web through Network Shield.

Why does that remind me of Forrest Gump and Lieutenant Dan?

Regrettably I purchased Avira AntiVir Premium as it worked well on my old PIII and they made me an offer I could not refuse so now that I have retired the old PIII I transfered the license to my XP Pro system to use it up. The moderators are as arrogant there as AVG moderators so now I am a happy user of avast! on my Vista system.

Beware of CCleaner or of your Hubby?

I have gotten bitten by the Vista bug so now my XP Pro system looks like Vista: http://www.lee-soft.com/products/index.html

What I am trying to explain is that I choose not to let the cookies on my system in the first place by blocking them with the HOSTS file.

Maybe that's why FileHippo is down now? Maybe they realize that the whole site is infected? http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=20701

I don't have a problem on my XP Home nor Pro systems and by the way SP3 has been out for almost 8 months now and has several Security fixes and if you haven't read about Conficker infection then your system is a prime target: http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=19870 IE7 is much safer and has Tabbed browsing: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/...ie/default.mspx IE7Pro adds several nice features in IE7: http://www.ie7pro.com

I ran it on my new Vista system and it only found 0.5MB to remove and it wisely ignored the Prefetch files.

I like Paint.NET http://www.getpaint.net or http://fileforum.betanews.com/search?s=pai...p;x=15&y=12

First off they are cookies and you have Cookies selected to clean them. Second. Most are tracking cookies by advertisers and should be blocked with a HOSTS file: Blocking Unwanted Parasites with a Hosts File http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm Third. To keep cookies that you want go to Options then Cookies then select the cookie you want to keep on the left and move it to the right -> in Cookies to Keep. This is all documented in the Users Guide.

I downloaded the wrong version as I did not read properly when I went to Download I saw Registry Clean Expert and had to go to Our Freeware: to find Free Registry Defrag

Welcome AndyF I am originally from northeast UK.

Welcome PiPPi What operating system are you using?

MBAM is light years ahead of Ad-Aware and in the likes of Norton or McAfee for bloat but then whatever bloat's your float is up to you.

They grow some really good ones on the west coast of Canada but the local police have the philosophy of Don't do this at home and the US could send a person to rest in prison to keep Bubba the wife murderer company.

So is malware! At least UAC warns me when an application wants to run and if I recognize it I will let it run. I would much rather be warned when something is trying to run that I want as to have something run that I don't want and be sorry that it snuck in behind my back. As the old saying goes YOU CAN?T EAT YOUR CAKE AND HAVE IT TOO My doctor recommend it for me last time I had a cold and even my dentist recommended it for minor toothache. By the way its Dr. Seuss day on Google: http://www.seussville.com

There are a lot of settings in Ultimate Windows Tweaker that look very dangerous to me and could get someone in trouble very easy if they do not know what they are doing. Hasn't effected my icons though nor has CCleaner.

catzilla4, I do not experience the loss of transparency in icons. Which icons are you referring to? I am trying Ultimate Windows Tweaker right now.
