DO NOT BUY a WESTERN DIGITAL HARD DRIVE!!!! Seagate is one of the most Reliable hard drives out there...!!
Last year I purchased a WD 80 gig drive (7200 rpm's) and used it as my "C" drive and it Crashed within 8 months. I am now using (2) Seagate hard drives: C = 120 gig and D = 200 gigs. I have owned the 120 gig for over a year and it is by far the quietest, efficient and reliable hard drive I have ever used.
Seagate got a good reputation. But I think Western Digital and Samsung got a good reputation too. Maxtor got pretty bad reputation though. I wouldn't hesitate to buy a WD though, I've heard good stuff about them.

Maybe by changing the Process Priority to Low if it bothers you.
The Sempron line of AMD CPU's are considered the "budget series" of processors for AMD. Intel have their budget series processors called Celeron.
Though, AMD Sempron is good enough for most day-to-day activities.

Thats right, CCleaner does not delete the file names, it overwrites the data with random streams of data.
CCleaner was designed as a cleaner, not as a secure file wiping tool. It contains some secure file wiping functionality, as an added feature. In "Options" -> "Settings", you can activate secure file deletion mode, and select 1, 3 and 7 passes. The more passes, the longer time it will take.
For most people who just want to clean out stuff, normal unsecure file deletion is good enough. For people who want to securely delete files, they should look into a software crafted for the very purpose of secure file deletion such as Eraser.

Thanks for posting the registry entries here.
You can add them to winapp.ini.
Hopefully, they will be added in a future release of CCleaner, but that might take some months. I remember when Tarun posted about MSN and included a solution, it took like 6 months for it to get included, if I remember correctly.

Thanks for that Eldmannen.
There`s a lot of stuff on the links you kindly provided. Have dl`d Puppy.2.13-Seamonkey-Fulldrivers.iso.
Hope I`ve got the right one. Let you know.
Thanks again.
Not sure, but it probably is. I never personally used Puppy, just heard about it.
I've used the liveCD that came with Ubuntu though.
I ordered the CD at shipit.ubuntu.com, they send free CDs, you don't even have to pay shipping. It took some weeks for it to arrive though.

Outlook Express is widely considered unsecure. A huge deal of the Internet worms and viruses propagate through Outlook Express.
You should check out Mozilla Thunderbird it is much more secure and comes with spam-filtering, phishing-protection, etc. It also has other cool features, you can search through e-mail, it has spell-checking. And you can easily import your address book, your emails, and you settings from Outlook Express.

Windows have built-in software for that, its called "Remote Desktop Connection".
Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Remote Desktop Connection.
There are RAT (Remote Administration Tools) which has this functionality. There are software like VNC.
Trojans also have remote-access functionality. Technically trojans can be used for a good purpose, but often they are used for more sinister purposes.

CCleaner isn't designed for secure file removal, thats just an added feature.
If you want secure file removal, then get Eraser.

The download was 1.11 MB, so I figured, this has got to be crap. After downloading it, it only took 2.66 MB.
There is a saying, it goes something like this;
Good things comes in small packages.

Hi Eldmannen,
That sounds really good.
But I hope I`m not the only one here to say:- How on earth do you do that ? I know exactly zilch about Linux.
Have heard of it, but that`s about all.
Never tried, or had the need to boot from a CD.
If it`s too complex a subject, I`ll understand a non reply.
But if it`s not too difficult, I`m happy to be further educated. I would appreciate knowing how to do that.
There has been a few things I could have purchased on the web, but as I say, not too comfortable about it.
Running XP SP2 if that`s any help.
Regards
Most stuff is possibly to learn if you have an open mind and is willing to learn or have an interest in it.
Linux on Wikipedia.
LiveCD on Wikipedia.
There are many different Linux distributions, some are geared towards advanced users who want lots of control and ability to customize and alter stuff.
Others are geared towards novice users who just want something to work.
Easy LiveCD Linux distributions are Puppy Linux, Knoppix, etc. You download an .ISO image, and use a CD-burning software that are capable of burning ISO images (most CD burning software can do this), and you burn the ISO image to the CD. Then you put the CD in the computer, and restart the computer and (on most computers) it will boot up from the CD. There you got a Mozilla Firefox icon on your desktop which you just double click, and you're good to go.

If anyone wonders, HIPS = Host Intrusion-prevention system.

I don't have Java installed.
Almost no websites use Java.
And I have JavaScript disabled through the NoScript extension for Firefox, and only has JavaScript enabled for a handful of sites.

Pretty cool story I have to say.

Outlook is rather insecure and lots of worms and viruses are written for it. Much of the worms and viruses that propagate on the Internet do so by exploits and vulnerabilities in Outlook.
You should consider Mozilla Thunderbird a free and more secure e-mail client. It is the companion to the popular Mozilla Firefox webbrowser.

"Sorry, the test won't work without Javascript. Please enable it and come back. Read the FAQ for explanation why we need Javascript for the test."
The NoScript extension for Mozilla Firefox is good.

Mozilla Firefox is the best browser in the universe, if you had problems with it, then it most likely was a PEBKAC-problem (Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair).

This is interesting.
In the past, 2.5" disks was used only in laptops and wasn't used in servers, but this one is for use in server environments.
2.5" disks have been traditionally known as much slower disks than the 3.5" disks. But this one is faster than the 3.5" disk drives, that is interesting.
Running this disk as a system disk would be pretty nice, coupled with a large 3.5" disk as storage disk.
Pretty nice with 16 mb cache on a 2.5 disk, and that low latency that it has.
Another interesting thing is solid-state disks, but thats another story.
Solid-state disks is the future.
