Howdy, I'm wondering if anyone can suggest a FREEWARE cleaning program that does it all? I've had anything up to twenty different prograsms on my system at once, because each of them finds different files that the others don't. Ie Privacy Keeper does a good job, but then I go over to FInd Junk Files and it's found others that it hasn't. Still, after that, Crap Cleaner has found more (particularly in Firefox - history and cookies and suchlike). Kevin Soloway's Clean Disk Security also is something I like (since it has the Guttmann cleaning method), but I still find files with other programs like Zero Tracks and such. Ideally, I'm after a program that cleans all the history, cookies, temp files, etc., from not only Windows itself (98SE), but also the history and cache of IE6 SP1, Opera 7, Firefox, Crazy Browser (which I know is merely a front end to IE, but it still finds files to clean even when I've cleaned IE). And I'd like it to be a Guttmann clean, if possible (and also something that renders the files unrecoverable - the filenames on the disk, too)! Something that also cleans free disk space, the swap file, index.dat files, info from newsgroups (which - after using OE6 to download newgroup files is found in the 'Application Data\Identities' folder), file slack space, etc. Does any such thing exist, because it's a royal pain to have to use all these different programs to get all the junk off my system! I've only got 1.97 Gb (believe it) of space, so every byte is precious! Cleaning it takes ages!

Go here and get DustBuster 2.81 http://www.majorgeeks.com/download1182.html Hard drives are cheap as chips as well... Modo vincis modo vinceris

Thanks, champion, I'll give it a go!

Looks like the dustbuster isn't freeware. It's listed as shareware. I tried to be a tailor, but I just wasn't suited for it... mainly because it was just a sew-sew job.

My apologies, it says shareware on the geeks site, but if you click on the authors names it is a freebie....sorry. I tried to be a tailor, but I just wasn't suited for it... mainly because it was just a sew-sew job.
