I have had CC (currently version 2.04.543) for several months, and tend to run it at least once a week, as well as other "comparable products" to insure "I'm as clean as possible." Overkill???
I have XP, and use Firefox and T-bird as my primary browser/email.
1) Please clarify "Uninstall"- it is actually a program uninstaller vs. a startup uninstaller, right?
2) How "thorough" is "Uninstall"- I get McAfee free with Comcast, and it MADE me unstall AVG prior to fixing/updating McAfee. I was having a terrible time doing this, until I found "Revo" it seemed to do the trick, so I use it now.... how does it compare to CC's uninstall (assuming it is a total uninstall program? I've heard so many good things about AVG, I was hesitant to uninstall it....... but did anyway.
3) About a month ago, I started using "Start-up Inspector," and in comparing what it says I have in my start-up routine vs. CC is different.... SUI only shows "McAfee" and "Google Inspector;" while, CC shows these 2 plus 3 others that I don't think I want in the start-up (?) They are ctfmon.exe; PC-Checkup; and ....system32\dumprep.ece.... Which should I consider as being accurate? and use in the future to insure I have limited items in my start-up? Should I use both?
4) What exactly "compact registry" do? I guess it is obvious, but what benefits will I see? More speed?
5) I have not tried/installed Recura and Defraggler? Should I? Are these a step-up from other options?
Other not-so CC related questions, if you all don't mind.....
1) I've seen several people on this forum mention not liking the new Ad-Aware 2007, and many folks stuck with the older version. I planned to uninstall the new version and download the old again. So I went to the Lavasoft site, and it doesn't have the old version..... any thoughts?
2) Over the last couple of months, my Microsoft aps have started retaining many temp Office user files in my document storage folders. I'm sure I did something to cause this, but can't figure out what? In short, I go to a folder where there should be 2 files for instance; but it also has, say maybe a dozen temp versions of these files. Anyone have an idea what I did; or better yet, what I need to do?
I appreciate any feedback anyone might provide; and sorry for "stepping out-of-line" with a couple of questions not directly related to CC....
