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.

file deletion is pretty quick in general (in Windows, files are not zero-filled or actually deleted, but simply *marked for deletion* via the filesystem)
I wish CCleaner could overwrite things.

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

in a sence it could prevent future malware....
If you get infected with some sort of malware, more then likely it will add itself to your HKLM Run part of your registry. Thus when you reboot your computer or login as another user they then become infected as well, or more malware can be downloaded and executed.
so Tarun is correct by saying that hijackthis prevents malware. just not in the way we would like it to as a complete malware preventer...
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.

It deals with preventing and removing malware.
How does hijackthis "prevent" malware?

I use winrar.

AntiVir is the way to go.

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.
