F-Prot, DOS, anti-virus. Zonealarm. System Mechanic. Kevin Solways Clean System Directory, removes defunct dlls. SafeInstall98. SafeClean Utilities2.0. SiSoft Sandra. Cookie Crusher. CT Cookie Spy. Ad-Aware. Cacheman. Add-Remove Pro. Smart Uninstaller. Plus the standard tools that come with Win98SE. There are plenty of tools out there, many are free, and often small and compact and quite neat. It will be interesting to see what other people use. Maybe a vote for the most popular freeware utility?	Guest (0)

From my experience it is one of the smallest (under 3Mb), one of the fastet, and one of the most accurate at detecting legitimate new viruses. I was so impressed, I even made arrangements to supply my clients with licences here in NZ. It hasn't yet taken off in NZ, but it is big in Australia now. www.NOD32.com www.virusbtn.com	Guest (0)

Mine is set up to clear out my cookies and temp files, it can also clear out your history etc. comes well recommended by me :)	Guest (0)
