    DustBuster is very scary - it offers absolutely no options and gives no information as to what and how much it is deleting. There's no backup and no sending the files to the recycle bin. It starts, cleans and then terminates. No interaction with user at all.
    Sorry Zap, dont trust it for the above reasons.

    The guy could hve simply made a .bat file which does the same
    and then atleast we know whats it looking for.

    @ aagfr - 250 MB good for you.

    @ Zedaxax - I believe I said this & more, ".... There ya go DustBuster XP the King of junk file removers.
    Once again if you're a control freak DON't use it."

    Once again folks please make up your own minds about DB.

    Zapjb I installed the newer version ran in about 30 sec. Removed 1 file 1mb recovered

    I must be doing something right But I do run System mec. and NSW 2003 with clean up tools. The newer version must have fixes for compatablty issues . Good program for grandma or mom . I coud'nt see what file it removed , so that pissed me off


    EDIT : Holey Shit ran a defrag after looks like swiss cheese . Useing Diskeeper took twice the time, ran 3 times ,back to normal .

    Zap.
    I have used DustBuster for several months with no ill effects also, but can certainly understand how folks would object to the mysterious way that it works.
    Also, you should mention that when you dl that file it comes up as "standard.zip", not "dustbuster" or anything recognizable.
    A scan with your virus app will show that it is ok but it's still wierd.
