Super Fast

That is quite high. I might would do it if it paid enough. I work with a tree service & sometimes we have to climb trees about 150 ft or so. Hate the ones closer to hotlines, especially when it's windy.

No problem there... The program would simply launch. Why would having tabs affect anything? The launcher would NOT be to prevent apps from having tabs, but rather to vastly simplify the launch of apps on a flash drive. Once they are launched, I see no problems...

I wish you'd try the newest defraggler & see how it does on your system. They also have 64 bit defraggler now. This would help a lot to know if it does or doesn't work on your system. I may check out smart defrag later. I check out thousands of programs a month. Have tried it before, but didn't have a problem with Defraggler.... Of course, I don't know if it does different with huge file fragments. Check out the latest Defraggler if you would & let us have a thumbs up or down on how it does.

I see what your saying, Alan. But if this existed, you could not only use it for Piriform products, but if something such as Tabber existed, you could use it to "combine" any executable into "one" tabbed user interface. Would be potentially great! CCleaner | Defraggler | Recuva | Speccy | Malwarebytes..... Think of the simplicity!

So far as the PC going into standby, I believe there is a freeware called Caffeine that can prevent standby. That may help till the developers get time to write code to prevent standby on long clean/drive wipe operations. I am not totally certain on that. Desktop? Laptop? I would think that laptop systems would be more affected by standby than desktops... Or perhaps it is the way Windows 7 handles standby as opposed to XP? A few questions here, if I might ask... - Version of Windows (include the Service Pack number too, please!) - Processor speed & amount of ram? - Version of CCleaner & Defraggler used? Thank you! P.S. I am a little confused by what you said earlier about Defraggler causing MORE fragmentation. I have XP SP2 & it seems to do good. I sometimes use SP3, but have found it to be incompatible with a lot of programs I test, so maybe I will later on. Also, seems that SP3 "crashes" faster than SP2 for some reason... Meaning that after I test a lot of programs on either system, seems SP2 is the old standby stable system. Can crash, but takes longer! But they say SP3 is better, so, guess you need to go with that. Anyway, would really help if you can get the above system info for us! Thank you!

Is there any way to add the ability to auto-refresh CCleaner uninstaller section? What I mean, is this: I uninstalled the Firefox 4 beta 12 to make room for the new Firefox 4 RC1. But it wouldn't show in CCleaner until I restarted it! I was using in XP SP2 the version of CCleaner 3.03, although I have also used 3.04 too! Any way to fix this? I would love for CCleaner to be able to "pick up" when you uninstall a program, or install a program, & refresh it's listing! It is just awful to have to restart CCleaner just to pick up the changes! Thank you, guys!

I agree with you in being correct in relevance to malware removal. But if no-one should take advice from defragmentation forums, why are you advising them? LOL! I had to ask!

Yeah, I was confused for a moment. When CCleaner said it saved all the settings to a .ini file, I was sure it meant to include that pesky are you sure you want to delete these files dialogue box too! LOL! Wish is WAS in the checkmarkable options, instead of having to run it to get it to show it! Heh! Well, you guys are just great though! Thanks a ton!

Nerg, that just depends! If someone has had a very nasty trojan/rootkit/malware/virus on their machine & it is removed, then if those restore points are then left on the PC, the INFECTED points will STILL EXIST! This means, the user could revert at any time to the prior infected state & totally reverse any repairs made to the system! I think it depends on the situation. I too am for having system restore enabled, but I also believe that certain instances call for a total flush of them so you can create NEW CLEAN restore points!

Doesn't do any good if you don't know what your doing. Example: I had to install an antivirus for a town near here years back when I worked for a computer place. The town had over 80 viruses on their machine, not including startup entries, trojans, malware, whatever. So many, in fact, that the antivirus refused to install the normal way & I had to use a secondary method to force it to install so it could begin removing the bad little guys. This, coupled with the fact that many towns are still using Windows 98 as a "secure" os, combined with internet explorer. Do you know one reason why? I will list you several. We could have updated security, but I have discovered the following: People are very leery of upgrading because: - It works now! Who knows if it will if I upgrade. Besides, HOW do I do an upgrade? And if I do, windows will be even more different than it is now! - If we upgrade, there goes thousands for licensing agreements to MS. We can't afford that in our budget! - Activation? At least 98 & 2000 don't require that. Oh well, better to be a little less secure than to have to activate & have MS know everything we are doing. Besides, what happens if MS loses an activation server, or stops supporting this windows version, or even has their servers hacked so we CAN'T activate? Better stick to what we got now! - Firewalls? What's that? Won't that interfere with other things? Isn't that too complicated? I prefer things simple the way they are now! - I know Windows 98, but, XP? Vista? 7? Never! There are all kinds of reasons people do not upgrade, but this touches on a few of them. You think it is bad now? You haven't seen what is to come. Why do companies lie about security? Because they want people to feel secure, even if they are not, & they are incompetent about Windows usually, because that is not their PRIMARY job. As in, primary usually may be town mayor, fill in the blank, & everyone is like "Well, I am sure it must be good or the town wouldn't have put it in here". Just my two cents worth, but I say, its about to get lots worse!

Some do so, out of defiance. To prove that the impossible really isn't impossible with the right knowledge. Mostly for notoriety, or to get known because of the brilliance of their evil. Sometimes, to do damage because of religious extremist beliefs, or other things that anger & bother them.

I saw something funny. Went to Cub Cam "Snuggle" & saw it broadcasting a windows error message! Probably be gone in a day or two when the people get back to check it, but I had to laugh!

Rob, now, the thing with Vista/7 is that they took so long to get here, that there are things that will not work with them, even in compat mode. Have someone who had a ribbon printer, & the only solution that worked was installing XP. I am in the process of trying to simplifying 7 with tabbed explorer along with other quirky behavior. Don't like the start menu at all. XP was much better at finding all the files you needed. But, Classic Shell is helping a lot with that. Along with Locate 32. Just wish MS weren't so flaky when developing apps that are so totally incompat with each other! Media player is a big step backwards from the one in XP WMP11. Media player in 7 doesn't allow EQ settings to stick, but always reverts to default when you re-open it. Additionally, way too hard to find bass/treble controls like in XP. I am trying to be patient here, but sometimes I get angry, lol! Anywho, yes, yes, yes, parallel defrag please! I neeeeeeed it! I agree also that if you have multiple partitions on a drive, it should be treated as a single drive & processed in sequence!

Wonder why CCleaner developers, seeing the number of people who would like an "all-in-one" pack don't just invent a single .exe file that you can place CCleaner, Defraggler, Recuva, & Speccy all into the same folder as the EXE & it will auto detect whichever products you have in that folder with it, & give each one a tab with the same name as the executable. Example: User has tabber in the same folder as CCleaner.exe, Defraggler.exe, & Recuva.exe. Tabber auto creates tabs labeled CCleaner | Defraggler | Recuva, & also uses the appropriate icon gleaned from each. Users would rejoice everywhere, because now, they have a way to "use them all in the same app", yet, they do not have to be bundled or have "version" updates. All a person would have to do to "update" a version, is simply locate the tabber folder & overwrite the old ccleaner/defraggler/whatever with the new exe! This solution is so ingenious, I am suprised that noone thought of it before me! This will solve nearly all the problems about people asking it to be "bundled"! Open to thumbs up or down on this one, but why not? So simple, so elegant!

Although CCleaner does have a wonderful startup disabler, sometimes you would like more information about what kind of startup item it is or to take a look at the directory it is located in. Manually browsing there is so slow. Can we have a right click Go To on the startup page? Thanks! P.S. Would also love to have the others "startup" items added one day like Tasks & BHO. They load at startup too!

Thanks for the tip Kroozer. I use CCleaner a lot, but I never thought about that one. Never used it actually, since I always have it unchecked to clear the autocomplete. Your a real timesaver! So simple, just looked right over it!

Examples of programs that might NEED empty folders to properly function are: - Windows Startup folder in Start Menu - Bart PE Builder plugin directory - Other programs who list empty directories along with XML directives detailing how/what to remove/edit on a PC You may not really want to do that, because of the possible consequences of that action. But if you do, check out freeware Remove Empty Directories (just be sure to have a backup of your entire pc to be on the safe side before you go doctoring your pc.)

CCleaner is great, but I am wondering why the startup tab only covers 1 of the 3 startup locations? There is: Startup Tasks Folder BHO CCleaner only covers normal startup, but the tasks folder & the BHO objects surely do load with windows, & they surely are every bit as bad as any startup item you can have, or even worse because most people do not think to check those startup places & assume "CCleaner covers it all!" Tasks folder should be so easy to add since it's startup are always same folder all the time. Same for BHO. It has the same registry key location for all BHO all the time. Lately, I see computers literally assaulted with Chrome updater running on startup every time the computer boots, along with Apple Updater, Real Updater, Java Updater, Quicktime Task, who knows how many MS update checkers, whatever, fill in the blank. And BHO are just as bad! Tasks & BHO are both startup items that load at boot, & all the items in those locations do eat up more ram when running, so why doesn't CCleaner give us the disable or delete option for that? Can have a startup tab & group it like: BHO Startup Tasks If you wanted. Same tab, just 3 startup sections. CCleaner is really needing this now, because I am tired of manually clearing 40 or 50 running tasks loading at startup just to help someone who has a computer that is running very slow, only to find out this is why!

Not worried about the cookie keep list. Just couldn't figure how to get it to stop annoying me with "hey, you are running ccleaner, did you know your really going to delete files? maybe it was accident!" at first. Ok, maybe it didn't say it quite like that, but it was making me wig out, LOL! Thanks guys! I got it to work now!

CCleaner is set to use .ini file for all settings. CCleaner has portable.dat in same directory as CCleaner.exe & the .ini file. Hide warning messages IS enabled! Yet, when I run CCleaner, it asks me if I am sure I want to delete files, this is permanent, etc. Well, why would I run CCleaner unless I WANT to delete the files? Can't you just make it save this option to .ini when it detects you have the portable.dat file in the folder? One less bug! Arg. LOL! Love CCleaner, but this annoys me having to click & then another click to checkmark the ok, yes I agree whatever! Please fix this! ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Edit: I think I have it fixed. If locked in an SFX container, it doesn't add it to the .ini file when you run CCleaner. Can you please add the option also under the CCleaner hide warning messages to also have a checkmark box for hide Are you sure you want to delete files? to the list as well? I was so frustrated, haha! Seems to work after I unpacked it, then ran CCleaner & let it save it, then repacked it. Please add the option to select all this before running CCleaner the first time, if you will. I am sure I am not the only one that didn't know this. Thank you!

Oh, I don't live with the malware. But sometimes when I go out to help someone, their computer is very highly fragged. Certain malware can slow computers down... A lot. Even in safe mode. Certain hidden rootkits can login with safemode by attaching & injecting themselves into the windows system login dll & exe files. Which makes them even harder to get rid of. Combine that with the fact that some users use their computers for years with no defrag whatsoever (check, very high fragment rates! And you have some verrrrrry slow PC'S! Sometimes, I am not able to completely remove all the malware (some people have over 200 pieces of malware on their system!) before I have to leave. So I like to be able to let the antimalware programs run overnight along with Defraggler. Having the capability of setting defraggler to run in low priority in the background without having to CTRL + ALT + DEL to open task manager & set it to low would be such a great time saver! Thanks!

I would think that NOT having names would be even MORE confusing. Because at least when it shows the names, people KNOW there is something there. When nothing shows, it makes them so confused about "ghost" blocks!

How interesting! I am not 100% sure on this (someone correct me if I am wrong), but do you suppose that happens with multiple browsers installed on the same PC? I am asking, because I was wondering what the chances are that 2 browsers may share a common directory for cookies. If that were the case, & one of the browsers were set in CCleaner for their cookies to be deleted, then because both browsers share a common cookie directory, it would still end up deleted! I believe that CCleaner is setup to only show the browsers that you have installed. Guess the next question would be, do you by chance have any other web browser installed? Even if you don't "use" it? This is but a theory of mine, but someone feel free to add their $0.02 worth!

This may be just me. But it seems like MOST of the "security holes" I find listed about MS windows come from Internet Explorer. Buffer exploits, drive by installs due to the malicious active x scripting, etc, etc. It doesn't matter how much you update or patch a system. A hole is still a hole. I am sorry, until they take Active-X out of IE, all the "updates" in the world won't do any good because your still leaving a gaping big hole that anyone can go through! I think it is much better to do these things: - Use a good Service Pack - Use a browser that does NOT have active X scripting (such as firefox) - DON'T install thousands of useless plug-ins & ruin your security - DON'T install hundreds of toolbars - Watch what you install - Use a good Antivirus - Monitor your system startup + tasks folder frequently Etc, etc Internet Explorer? That one is such a laugh, I just call it Internet Exploder! It does seem like most of the exploits come through IE!

I am confused. Don't you usually have to have admin access to run an antivirus/malware removal/most other cleaning programs anyway?
