For back up most people dont keep an external hard drive plugged in all of the time(or I don't). If your just needing storage deffinately get a internal one.
One word of advice is make sure you get a firewire drive if your pc supports it. I don't care what anyone says for a hard drive firewire is leaps and bounds ahead of usb2.0 .

Did you purchase the program online? If so you will more than likely be able to redownload the program from the vendors site. Log into it and look around there will more than likely be a redownload link somewhere.

Make sure you have firefox and mozilla checked under the applications tab. You must also have installed them in the default location. Make sure that both browsers are closed during the cleaning as well.

To be honest I never really used the divx player so I don't know where is stores anything. What are you doing with it? Encoding or just watching?
-
Before you start spreading crap about CCleaner please tell me one thing.
Do you use antivirus, antispyware, and have a firewall? Do you keep your pc defragged and maintained?
If the answer is no than you cant possibly blame CCleaner for your poor performance.

I think I have made up my mind on the next generation of video games. I'm going to wait untill the ps3 comes out and if it just blows my mind I'm going to get one. If not I'm going to build myself a tricked out sli(dual video card) gaming machine. By then I'm sure the technology in the pcs will catch up with the consoles.

Hello, you can add divx to CCleaner on you own through a file called winapp2.ini. No one has written a entry for it yet but here are the instructions on how to do it your self.

The version I downloaded from rridgley link this AM was (v7.0.8.1). We are talking eTrust EZ Antivirus Right?!
Yes they just updated it on september 23rd.
Andavari to update your av look here:

You have to install firefox in the default location in order for CCleaner to clean it. You could set it as a custom folder if you would like. Check out the beginners guide for instructions.
-
Yep, and if they release an update to the program itself they let you update to it.

Wow I think McAffee is just making up protection now. From what I can figure out anti-abuse is the same thing as anti-spam don't worry about it.

For Firewalls get zone alarm version 5.5.094.000

For antivirus get this offer for etrust here(1 year free):

This is what oli meant:
I don't quite get your question. Can you explain a little more?

Make sure you have opera closed and have the box under applications checked.
-
Did you install opera in the default location?

Trend Micro used to be the best antivirus period, but over time it became bloated and started to take more and more resources and have more and more components. I have tried the new version of trend micro and etrust is lighter on resources and has just as good of a scanner. The trendmicro antispyware is junk as is the firewall. I say give etrust a try and if you don't like it(you will) than you can just switch back(you won't).

I have already used up my trial license. I went right out and bought a copy on sale for $20 at Target.
-
Etrust has smaller resouce usage than avg and a much better scanner. The real time scanner is second to none as well.
Good
Low resource
Great real time scanner
Great on demand scanner
Cleans viruses that it finds(not all avs do this)
Updated regularly
Free program updates within you license
Bad
Not free all of the time
-
Will you post a screenshot of this program?
-
The firewall is zone alarm pro. The antispyware is ok but not good enough to purchase. If I was going to pay for a antispyware app it would be webroot.
-
Your right its because you didnt install it in the default location. Make sure you have the box Custom files and folders checked under advanced in the windows tab. This tells CCleaner to empty custom folders. Let me know if it works.
-
Yeah but its better than nothing. I know lots of people who use zone alarm and norton that shut it down when they play games to get their connection faster. I do this when I play unreal but I'm behind a router so it dosent even matter. The only reason I keep zone alarm is for out bound monitoring.
-
Always update windows. Otherwise your brand new computer could be turned into a paper weight. Do not even connect it to the net without either putting a firewall or av first.
Service pack 2 has nothing to do with performance its all security patches. Also you might not want to run a firewall like zone alarm because of performance but at least use the windows one or hook to the net through a router.
