clean up your system

[7/30/05] Windows automatically files great amounts of data on your hard drive that document your work and your usage of the internet. In time this data gets to be so large that it influences the efficiency of your system. Additionally, this data can be used by spyware programs to document your internet history and to accede to your personal data. Sweepi will help you find the unnecessary data quickly and safely destroy it.

I tried it and it sure wipes out a lot of stuff. It not only deletes temporary files, but old shortcuts, and cookies (hope you remember your passwords). So far I've found no problems after running it, but if you have trouble with your computer after using it, forget where you read this.

[10/5/05] Here's another one that sounds less drastic. And I like the sound of its name: Crap Cleaner (haven't tried it yet).
