HijackThis v2.02



HijackThis lists the contents of key areas of the registry and hard drive--areas that are used by both legitimate programmers and hijackers. The program is continually updated to detect and remove new hijacks. It does not target specific programs and URLs, just the methods used by hijackers to force you onto their sites. As a result, false positives are imminent, and unless you´re sure about what you´re doing, you should always consult with knowledgable folks before deleting anything.

Google Desktop 5.1.0705.14375



A desktop search application that provides full text search over your email, computer files, music, photos, chats and web pages that you've viewed. When you look at a web page, read an email, open or edit a file, or have an AIM chat, Google Desktop indexes that item and copies the item's content into its cache, so that you'll be able to find long-finished chats and older versions of files and web pages. Once you've installed Google Desktop, whenever your computer is idle for more than 30 seconds, it automatically starts indexing new items in real time as you see them. For example, it will find a web page immediately after you view it, or an email right after you read it. You can set Google Desktop's preferences to not index specific files or folders. You can also tell Desktop to remove specific files, folder or URLs from its cache.
The capabilities of Google Desktop can be greatly expanded by a whole host of available plug-ins.

Softoogle's Review of CCleaner 1.33.382
upd. October 1, 2006


When it comes to freeware programs, some folks often tend to sort of drool over the program's freewareness, while at the same time ignoring the fact that the freeware program actually lacks lots of features found in similar software applications that are not free.


CCleaner is an extremely popular freeware program. And it still badly lacks quite a number of important features. Starting from version 1.27 CCleaner offers secure file deletion (DoD 5220.22-M, NSA) but the list of things CCleaner is capable of deleting is, in fact, very limited. For instance, try making CCleaner delete a folder. Using Options > Custom you can select your own custom files and folders to clean, but CCleaner will only delete the contents of the folder (i.e. it will empty it) but it won't delete the folder itself. If the name of the folder is sensitive and you want it securely deleted using the above secure deletion methods, CCleaner is not going to help you.


Also, CCleaner cannot wipe the free space on the entire hard drive. If you have remnants of previously deleted files scattered all over your hard drive, CCleaner won't find them and won't delete them. You'll have to use some other software to do that.


CCleaner is neither capable of cleaning the Windows swap file (a huge file that can contain gigabytes of sensitive data), nor is it capable of erasing records in the MFT (Master File Table) which stores records about all files and directories in an NTFS volume, including file size, time and date stamps, permissions, and data content.


All in all, for a freeware, CCleaner is a good choice if you want to quickly clean up your browser's cache and delete the lists of recently opened documents in various applications so that snoopy friends and colleagues won't see your secrets. But if your goal is to completely eliminate any evidence of your activity, consider using more powerful software.
