Well, guess what folks. After finishing my previous post, I went to close my CCleaner, and, well, I noticed that, infact, I do have the Professional version of CCleaner. It's 1.11.336 as I mentioned in my last post. Turns out that I actually bought it a few weeks ago – before I tried the "Erase Free Space" feature. I feel a little dumb not remembering this, but I'm fessing up now so I can have a clean conscience about it. ha. But where I was really dumb was to have purchased it without thoroughly checking it out first. I would not have bought it had I known of the problem. I had not planned to contact CCleaner about it since I thought I was working from a demo version. It wasn't expensive, but, hey, since I have real money invested, I feel like I have to go to them now with the problem and see what their answer is. I will report back here once I get something further to tell.
