    Just downloaded ccleaner and it is a really nice utility. Cleaned lots of
    stuff smartprotector didnt touch. I will reboot shortly and hope I did not
    el fuque-o upt my shee -it. One word, though. I googled for the ccleaner
    link. I carelessly put an extra "C"-as in ccclener like I did in above
    text. All I got for my trouble is an attempted hijack by some newsearch
    page dot junkcom. DO noot (estra o deliberate) use three (3) c's in a
    google for this or make a typo if typed in address bar. (typos deliberate
    here in this reply)........so, be kewl, Buck.
