Great Windows Utility

CCleaner has been used for a while at the Saltillo Beach House. This is a super utility that can certainly be misused if one is not careful about following procedures. Be conservative when using this powerful tool. Remember, coming back here to cry and whine because you downloaded and misused CCleaner is a waste of time. You download at your own risk. It works fine for me. Visit this site's forum, FAQs, and screenshots to review before downloading. The reason behind waiting so long to add this to my 'must have tools for Windows' list is that it is such a powerful application. During the past few months the folks at CCleaner have updated the program; it can be run safely if one pays attention. You'll be amazed at what it finds and how well it works. The first scan may be lengthy, but then the program runs in a matter of seconds, literally. Be sure and explore ALL areas of CCleaner. You will want to retain the Cookies for your often visited sites. This capability is found under the Options button. "Where do I find this magical application," you ask? Just click on this link:



One of the areas that will be added to this site in the near future is an onscreen guide (with pictures and screenshots) about how to install and use various tools: CCleaner, Spybot S&D ver 1.4, Ad-aware SE 1.06, Spywareblaster 3.4, AVG 7.0, etc. If you are not using these tools, please comment or email and tell me why...inquiring minds want to know. If you have recommendations they will be gladly considered and reviewed if found worthy. Please do not forget that numerous socalled "Anti-Spyware" programs ARE spyware. Many of these applications won't find certain types of malware, dungware, spyware, adware and so forth. Hence, the necessity of using more than one tool. The above mentioned list and Windows Critical Updates maintain ALL beach house Windows PCs and that makes the machines and users happy. All of these tools are freeware, but you can make a donation or upgrade to an advanced version. Donations are a way of life at the Saltillo Beach House. These folks have put a lot of time and effort into providing us with great weapons to fight the bad guys. Help them out and donate. Also, wouldn't hurt to contact your Congresspeople and advocate the death penalty for all jerks involved in the spyware industry.

Must shower and get busy. Everyone have a casual day. BTW, it's great to be back!
