free version, also. The difference is, the paid version will
delete any advertising cookies as they appear while you're
online. With the free version, you'll have to do a scan each
time you go offline. Also, the paid version will monitor any software installations for spyware as you're installing. With, the
free version, you'll have to do a scan after the install.


if you use it-do not delete files, that this program found. after i run it, it prompt me to delete some files and after i did, few applications crash. be careful with this thing.

yes and no. not everything stays there forever. also, there are things you can do to make sure something is really deleted. there are programs out there for specifically this purpose.

Yep, when you drag files to the Trash Bin and empty it, all you did was erased it from the OS's "memory", the data (the 0s and 1s) are still in the hard drives' blocks and until those blocks are overwritten by other data, it'll stay there and easily recoverable by companies or FBI...the only sure way is to reformat your hard drive.
