  1. I have a friend who has this thing in his Control Panel's Add & Remove Program.

     

    This software he sees installed with no clue what it is called "Search Plugin". He

     

    tells me that it has details that it takes up 55 GB which doesnt make sense at all

     

    because his total HD space only has 74.5 TOTAL and he has this anime archive

     

    folder said to be at 30 GB already & he has other files that he didn't even add to

     

    his total GB usage. 55 + 30= 85 and only 74.5 of GB space total eh? (The search

     

    plugin thing use to be around 100MB in the past) Now this is not normal & we're

     

    just wondering what the problem may be as we're afraid that if

     

    we take any further action, that may screw my friend's comp over. He uses

     

    Windows XP Professional & a Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0. This "Search Plugin"

     

    thing, isnt classified as spyware or a virus. This friend of mine had this for years &

     

    just checked the details recently. Just to cut it down, in the past he used Norton

     

    anti-virus, Microsoft Anti-Spyware, Zonealarm, Ad-aware, Bulldog anti-virus, &

     

    he's currently using Shaw Secure that has a package of F-secure's Anti-virus &

     

    anti-spyware. There are no strange add-ons on his "Manage Add-ons..." list on the

     

    Tools menu of his IE 6. He wishes to simply remove it but there's that concern that

     

    it'll mess things up. And we're basically stuck here, sorry if the details are long

     

    or confusing (I'm a forum noobie as you see), but any advice is appreciated &

     

    thanks. Oh, if at least anyone has this "Search Plugin" thing (or in the past), mind

     

    telling me something about it? That may solve the problem.

  2. I've been wondering, when it comes to the Temporary Files in the system,is it safe

     

    to delete ALL of them? I've been hearing rumors that it's "99.99%" safe to do so.

     

    Yeah just usually all the files in C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\

     

    Simply I just hope deleting all the TEMP files wouldn't cause any system harm.

     

     

     

    Also, are the hidden files within the C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\ directory going to be

     

    deleted by CCleaner? Like,will the program itself delete the files that should be

     

    deleted?

     

     

    Yeah that's all I need to find out, thx for reading. ^,^
