Here is how I defragment my C drive: 1. Make disc image backup to external hard-drive. 2. Checkdisk to recover those bad sectors. 3. Restart. 3. SuperCleaner (because it overwrites). 4. CCleaner. 5. RegSeeker: "Clean the Registry". 6. Restart. 7. Eraser "unused space wipe". 8. Restart in safe mode and defragment. 9. Restart. 10. Make disc image backup to external hard-drive.

The first time I ran it on my computer (a 2 month old install) it was around 650MB. The first time I ran it on my GF's computer (a 3 year old install) it was around 550MB.

I wish CCleaner could overwrite things.

I tried out supercleaner. I set it to delete 0 byte files. It broke my norton antivirus.

I use (google them): Quicktime Alternative Real Alternative Media Player Classic If you just need codecs check out defilerpak.

That is like saying Ad-Aware SE Personal edition prevents spyware. It helps to remove spyware but I do not feel that it prevents anything. If you want to stop programs from being added to "your HKLM Run part of your registry," I would recommend installing StartupMonitor.
