Glad you're back.

Some of the freeware posts listed below.

 

A good looking hard disk manager, still free I think:

A nice system scanner, but it tries to phone somebody if you're on the net when you run a scan:

CCleaner 2 (You have version 1.40 I presume, not 4.0)

 

Defrag program announcement

 

And finally Recuva is a program for recovering accidentally deleted files.

The current version is 1.41 so that will be the update. It won't pick up CCleaner 2 as its not a final release yet.

 

What's new in CCleaner2:

 

* Complete rebuild in C++

With the requirements for a portable version, 64-bit compatibility and Windows Vista increasing against the limitations of the old architecture. We decided to rebuild the entire CCleaner application in highly optimized C++.

 

* Faster analyzing and cleaning

Each scanning process was rewritten from scratch and fully optimized. The result being a noticeable speed increase in all areas.

 

* Portable

CCleaner can now run from a USB thumbdrive and be installed/run on a computer without a complicated setup process.

 

* Compact

The rewrite removed all external file dependencies, so the main EXE is now half the size of the original program and support files.

 

* Redesigned User Interface

The original CCleaner user interface was looking a little dated, so the GUI was redesigned with a modern look, but without sacrificing speed or usability. New icons were created for the interface and the main program icon was updated with a more modern style.

 

* Exclusions

It is now possible to specify files, folders and registry keys to ignore from the cleaning process.

 

* Loads of little tweaks

Too numerous to mention them all separately, we've tried to improve CCleaner in all areas.
