CCleaner v1.29 Note

You definitely wouldn't want it for 98/Me anyway. It can only serve to make things worse.

Would you have any idea when IE7 is coming out of beta? It was supposed to be last autumn / fall but is yet to be fully released...

No, as I hate IE. :P

What do you use? Firefox? Opera? And why? I'm trying to decide whether to switch from IE to Firefox but can't seem to make my mind up.

I switched to FF about 2 years ago, and have never regretted it. Firefox is by far a better browser, more user friendly and safer, as most exploits appear aimed at IE, since it is part of Windows. It has tabbed browsing, meaning you can view more than one website within the browser. It also doesn't have index.dat files in the way IE has. This means they are easily deleted, unlike the index.dat files within IE which take some removing.

There are also some cool Themes that can be downloaded, to change the appearance (skin) of FF and the user interface can be personalised in a much better way than IE.

It's no coincidence that IE7 looks more like FF, while IE6 looks clunky and old fashioned.
