Well obviously you couldn't ban yourself. We'd get someone else to do that

I'm sure it can be arranged

Of course there is. Nurse, Dennis' medication's wearing off again

Indeed, think I've given Avira more than enough of a chance, the free version is never gonna have reliable updates it seems so think Avast is due a turn.

Same here, updates have been slow as hell for months now. Check out the elapsed time in this screenshot (and it's not even started downloading anything yet!):

The unfortunate truth is fishing line tied round its foot and being pulled by its owners, which takes some of the humour out of it (the vids been around for a while)

PLEEEEASE give us at least the option to have the detailed results window by default without having to stay with CC 2.21

Only as beta though (before anyone goes rushing off to download thinking otherwise )

Its not included in Opera as yet, it's due to be in the next version - 10.10

I use a cooling pad the whole time when using my laptop at home.

Except if its sat on the table the feet on the bottom raise it up off the surface allowing normal airflow.

Dunno if it'll ever get fixed (the missing publisher column was posted about several versions ago and has never been fixed), but if not it should be stated in the documentation that the additional columns are unavailable in XP

Depends on your Windows version, it doesn't work on XP (neither does the 'Publisher' column that was added a few versions before that).

New details screen not been sorted then, maybe I've got too high expectations but genuinely expected it to be tweaked after so many user comments not liking having results hidden till clicked through (the most comments about any new feature for a while, can only assume it's not that simple to tweak the implementation of, at least I hope that's the reason). So still sticking with 2.21 and keeping fingers crossed a while longer I suppose

The ini is already there when installed, just blank so you can add the entries you want or download a block list of your choice (which they also supply), most browsers require an add on of some sort to block ads, unless of course you use a modded Hosts file. Anyway I didn't post to start a debate about the pros and cons of Iron (I use Firefox 90% of the time and was, until this update, undecided between Iron and Chromium as a backup browser), just stumbled across the update and thought it would be of use to anyone using Iron and not aware of the update.

Huh, it has adblocking ability built in, just download the adblock.ini and put it in the Iron folder in place of the one that's there: http://srware.net/downloads/adblock.ini.

Whilst continuing my playing about with Iron and Chromium I noticed there's a significant new version of Iron: http://www.srware.net/en/software_srware_iron_download.php (EDIT: There does seem to be a minor bug with tab selection at present - "Open in new tab" gives new tab focus instead of loading in background as it used to but this is being discussed on their forum so expect a fix will be available asap)

First, and most obvious, question - does anyone else have access to your computer? (Perhaps a mod could move this to it's own topic)

The results/analysis of what's cleaned in CCleaner.

That's actually what I'm doing at the moment, are the items CCleaner cleans exactly the same as the non portable version (just with the directory you've placed it in being different obviously)?

Nothing noticeable, if it had any kind of performance hit I wouldn't use it. It doesn't run in the background (not in its own process anyway) and not noticed any effect on explorer performance. The only negatives I've found with it (which would maybe be solved by running in its own process, don't know) is that it doesn't organise the desktop immediately at startup, but then I'm probably just being picky as were only talking a few seconds. Though rather more annoyingly, it seems to save placement and visibility of desktop items in the registry and doesn't delete them when they are no longer on the desktop leaving invalid items in the registry that require a regular sweep with Regseeker to clear out (CCleaner doesn't pick the up and a winapp2 entry isn't possible because there is no way to select just the single invalid entries as far as I can see)

Thing is I was wanting a Chrome alternative (Chromium or Iron) and had decided I preferred Chromium thanks to the themes support making it look less ugly. But if it comes down to a stupid install directory with Chromium or ugly browser installed correctly then I'll have to go for the latter (and hope the Chromium devs eventually see how silly the choice of install directory is)

I've been using Fences for a month or so now too. It's the only desktop organisation tool I've ever tried and actually liked. Here's the link for anyone wanting to try it out: http://www.stardock.com/products/fences/

And FF2. And IE7. And Iron Only one it works on is Opera here.

The index.dat files are deleted at reboot and a new clean version is automatically recreated by Windows. What you are seeing is perfectly normal and nothing to worry about
