CCleaner v2.07 Great, Stable.

Pros: Does what it claims.

Comes as a portable or install version

new version adds memory and bug fixes and support for firefox 3.

Easy removal of unwanted and hidden-broken start up links.

I would also recommend trying their new version of "RECUVA v1.13" which is a impressive free data recovery software for Hard Drives, USB, and Digital Memory Cards. Visit their website for a portable or install version.

Piriform Ltd. is a site to watch for new utilities. "Defraggler" is next (Still beta). Donation requested on website.

Cons: None at this time. I appreciate the useful utilities.

Site Advisor v2.6

Pros: Extremely helpful during Google, Yahoo, etc searches to, steer clear of unsavory sites.

McAfee is a reputable security company. This app runs smoothly "most" of the time with a nice and easy quick glance "checkmark" for site safety. Use the mouse over, for brief info about the site.

Easy request to check unknown sites.

A few options, one of which is to connect to their server using SSL communication.

Cons: Every once-in-awhile the service runs the CPU sky high for a moment then it settles down and the quick surfing continues. (Possible conflict)

Recuva v1.13.304 - Works Great - Thank You

Drive scan is quick. Optional deep scan, show hidden scan, and/or show securely deleted scan.

Also has secure deletes, including Gutman 35 pass.

Has an Install or portable version.

Small app, very stable. I guess the best things can be free!

Full praise, deserves notice. Donation request, on website.

Cons: None!
