Actually you might be able to get it from their site at http://cleanup.stevengould.org/.

It is not some type of adware/spyware crap but it will clean up anything. Well, thus far my total cleanup says it got rid of 1.5 gig worth of stuff in the 25 times I ran it. It's a really simple program.

Good luck.

I took your advice and downloaded that program. It cleaned up nearly 1GB on this machine and it does run faster online.

Thanks for the info.

Nice. I run the program once a month or so. The first time I ran it, it made such a huge difference....it was like night and day when surfing the net.

Firefox has been hanging on a regular basis........at least 15 times per day. Usually takes five or six clicks to break it loose.

I'm hoping that the program will cure this.

No hang in the last hour.............

make sure you guys go to OPTIONS prior to running it and set it to your specifications. Here is mine....in the GENERAL TAB on the left I have it set to STANDARD CLEANUP....that is all.

Sometimes I get that same issue as well with FireFox. Maybe it's a bug in the browser itself.
