  1. That's it! Thank you sir!

     

    Anyone have any recent experience with K-Meleon? Is it a worthy alternative to Firefox? Is it buggy?

     

    Thanks again.

     

     

    Been using it for a year now, my default browser, faster than Firefox but little support for extensions.

     

    Not a single problem so far. As far as I am concerned it's the best out there.

  2. I have the exact same problem as the original poster, using 7 passes on Win XP. ALL the deleted files are recoverable. If I use secure deletion in Tune Up Utilities then the files are gone for good.

     

    I have found a little utility called Eraser which clears the free space, this works well and found in excess of 17,000 deleted files on my C: drive. But is this not what CCleaner should be doing?

  3. I use CCleaner with the NSA 7 Pass option enabled.

     

    After running CCleaner to clean the Hard disk Recuva (and other File retrieval software) is able to retrieve the files deleted by CCleaner.

     

    Is this right? :blink:

     

    If it is, then what is the point of using secure delete? :huh:

     

    Or am I missing something?

     

    I am using CCleaner v2.02.527 on XP SP2

  4. I also had this problem on 98SE using the latest version of CCleaner. I tried uninstalling and reverting to an older version and the problem remained.

     

    I then noticed that I had the same problem with Control Panel/Add Remove Programmes

     

    The Add remove list showed correctly in 3rd party utilities but the first item (Outlook Express) had no name, and showed as a blank item. I added a name, using TuneUp Utilities.

     

    Opened Add Remove in control panel and under the first item were a number of blank lines. These relate to, I assume, uninstall entries that had been previously removed, the valid entries had simply scrolled off the bottom of the window.

     

    I removed the blank lines by selecting each in turn and clicking Add/Remove. Windows claimed that this was an invalid entry and removed it. Repeated untill all the blank lined had gone.

     

    Once the list displayed correctly I ran CCleaner and it worked perfectly.

     

    I don't pretend to understand why Add/Remove list would affect CCleaner, but it does.

     

    Scary.
