clean up your hard drive

To run a VERY thorough clean-up of your hardrive visit https://www.hitmanpro.nl

It runs many anti-spyware/adware/virus etc programmes all in one go. Be warned, it takes a long time but is very thorough!!! It's updated regularly and isn't commercial.

It's a Dutch site (a Dutch friend recommendedit) but if you scroll down you'll come to the English language text. I've used it several times and am very impressed.

Repeated warning - it takes a long time to run because it runs quite a few programmes.

  • thank you!!
  • my mate has a cousin in switzerland area.and they are well up on software.they really know what they are doing.lots of file sharing website.eg:-DC++ are run by these people.....but hey cheers for the link,it worked great.thank you
  • Our IT guy at work recommended this to me. It is awesome! It literally runs a dozen different programs and strips out so much Cr*p you would not believe!!

    I agree with the warning though - it does take a very long time to run and I found that the Hitman programme needs focus on it all of the time - therefore, you can't do anything with your machine whilst it is running.

    Thanks Gala! I am curious as to how long it actually takes to run though... are we talking a couple of hours or half the night?

    Use your judgement, and above all, be honest with yourself. :)
