Does anyone have any suggestions for freeware to clean up harddrives especially getting rid of jpgs from an employee surfing too much.

The machine is slow. I am running AVG antivirus & spyware free. I just bought PC Tools Spyware Doctor that has antivirus. It had SpySweeper but subscription expired.

I ran defrag, cleaned out cookies and a few other things. Any idiot proof freeware to clean off jpgs from celeb pics and news pics? Should I also look for a registry fixer and cleaner. The employee is a good worker but surfs while eating lunch at their desk. Thanks. Sorry for the vanity. I hate to post and add clutter.

I don’t think CCleaner removes .jpegs that have been saved to the hardrive, does it?

You’re going to love my nuts? (I don’t keep up with the infomercials)

Series-ly CC cleaner will clean up accumulated browser junk.

Probably not. He could probably write a script that would do the job, though.

jpgs are not the culprit. Get a registry cleaner.

http://www.revouninstaller.com/

also does a better job of uninstalling stuff you do not use than MS add/remove programs.

Can’t you simply delete all Jpegs after searching the hard drive?
