An easy way to get spam is by signing up for legit contests where you can win stuff like a car, computer, etc. Many of the contest rules will state that your supplied info will be used for marketing research which in short means you may start receiving email from such companies and those they share the info with.

For now there's a work around: 1. Open Regedit and go to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\CCleaner 2. Click File->Export 3. Save the .reg file in the CCleaner program folder as for example: CCleaner_Settings.reg Now if you ever uninstall CCleaner just run the .reg file before you reinstall CCleaner.

Currently that ability isn't in CCleaner, however you can always post that recommendation in Suggestions. If you use Spybot S&D that ability already exists in: Tools->System Startup

That would be cool! Perhaps "CCleaner Portable" or whatever name. Another ideal would be to just have the main program as a standalone EXE that runs off a single INI file possibly "c:\windows\ccleaner.ini" with no usage of the registry whatsoever.

That's why I have this in my HOSTS file:127.0.0.1 localhost 0.0.0.0 localhost

It's timeless! Too bad Ford couldn't use the original GT40 name. I'd love to own a Ford GT however I still want all of these Aston Martin DB9, and this Brabus SLR McLaren, can't forget these Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Koenigsegg CCR, Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster, Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX, Mosler MT 900S, Pagani Zonda Roadster, Shelby Cobra 427, Saleen S7 Twin Turbo, and Subaru Impreza WRX STI.

The more I hear about the never ending story of Sony BMG's rootkit and the subsequent vulnerabilities it is causing the more I'm thinking of not getting a PS3, or any other Sony branded product.

Registering files aside, a problem that may be encountered on non WinXP machines is not having the VB Runtime 6 files installed, although that does seem rather unlikely with so many programs that require them.

Just wait until someone figures out how to reverse engineer some scanner software that can read text from a scanned image, then even a picture won't add any email address security from spammers.

There's another folder: C:\Windows\Help Have fun changing the help files!

uunet is an annoyance that I block in the HOSTS file and in my web browsers. uunet constantly showed up in Sygate Personal Firewall logs back when I used it. To block them in the HOSTS file input these: 127.0.0.1 uu.com 127.0.0.1 uu.net 127.0.0.1 uunet.com 127.0.0.1 uunet.net 127.0.0.1 www.uu.com 127.0.0.1 www.uu.net 127.0.0.1 www.uunet.com 127.0.0.1 www.uunet.net To block them in Mozilla Suite, & Mozilla Firefox: uu.com uu.net uunet.com uunet.net To block them in Internet Explorer: *.uu.com *.uu.net *.uunet.com *.uunet.net

The gas mileage has to be horrible, whatsmore having all that horsepower can't be used on the streets anyways and could only be experienced on a race track.

Possible reason. I had to stop using Yahoo TV and switch to Zap2it TV Listings to get my weekly television schedule because Yahoo updated the site and in doing so made it virtually unusable with Opera and Mozilla Suite, and I surely won't use Internet Explorer just to get it.

I personally don't like how the background of the logo looks. Unless of course it's intentially supposed to look pixilated, and as if something has taken a bite out of it.

Like I already stated:I'm not even about to say anymore about it!

Your profile could be messed up; it could be recoverable or possibly not if it's too messed up. What I did when I ran into problems on my previous WinXP install was to create a new profile to trace what some registry editing changes did, and then I copied those changes into my profile to fix it.

Cool. I found a racing game called Racer that I'm downloading now.

You can backup the settings by opening Regedit and exporting the following to a .reg file: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\CCleaner

It ain't no ZoneAlarm, it ain't no ZoneAlarm, it ain't no ZoneAlarm! Had to repeat that three times! The configuration was a bit weird, e.g.; my proxy filtering software is CookieCop and it flat out would'nt work until I figured out that the firewall needed to know what the parent application was which was explorer.exe, talk about damned confusing to begin with. Although it passes GRC.com ShieldsUp! as TruStealth I personally don't like the configuration or terminology in that firewall, it only lasted 30 mins on my PC. And the uninstaller is downright sloppy, might as well not even include one, it left a .msi installer behind and so many leftovers in the registry that I just restored the registry with a ERUNT backup. I'm so fed up with software-based firewalls I may just end up buying a hardware one sometime next year.

Look in: C:\WINDOWS\PCHealth I'm not even about to say anymore about it, other than if you start playing around make sure you create a backup of the whole folder beforehand just in case you mess up.
-
Interesting and a most helpful post. I'm glad I didn't like the feel of Outpost Free since I didn't know it was untested and not really developed for WinXP.
-
You could try uninstalling CCleaner, and then immediately restart Windows. Then reinstall CCleaner and see if it works, you may want to reboot after the reinstall as well. If may be because your installation of the VB6 Runtime files is messed up, you could always reinstall VB6 Runtime.
-
After installing the Microsoft VB6 Runtime restart your computer, do the same after you install CCleaner. For some reason even on XP machines a reboot is still needed in order for some installations to start working.

Nah he's just excited because you included him in the thank you! Thanks for mentioning me as well.

It's just like some other system created folders, you can delete them as often as you want and they'll reappear. I went through the creation of the My Pictures folder in My Documents I don't know how many times on my Win98 system after I updated to IE6.
