Glad you're back.

edit:
Some of the freeware posts listed below.

A good looking hard disk manager, still free I think:

A nice system scanner, but it tries to phone somebody if you're on the net when you run a scan:

CCleaner 2 (You have version 1.40 I presume, not 4.0)

Defrag program announcement

And finally Recuva is a program for recovering accidentally deleted files.

The current version is 1.41 so that will be the update. It won't pick up CCleaner 2 as its not a final release yet.

What's new in CCleaner2:

* Complete rebuild in C++
With the requirements for a portable version, 64-bit compatibility and Windows Vista increasing against the limitations of the old architecture. We decided to rebuild the entire CCleaner application in highly optimized C++.

* Faster analyzing and cleaning
Each scanning process was rewritten from scratch and fully optimized. The result being a noticeable speed increase in all areas.

* Portable
CCleaner can now run from a USB thumbdrive and be installed/run on a computer without a complicated setup process.

* Compact
The rewrite removed all external file dependencies, so the main EXE is now half the size of the original program and support files.

* Redesigned User Interface
The original CCleaner user interface was looking a little dated, so the GUI was redesigned with a modern look, but without sacrificing speed or usability. New icons were created for the interface and the main program icon was updated with a more modern style.

* Exclusions
It is now possible to specify files, folders and registry keys to ignore from the cleaning process.

* Loads of little tweaks
Too numerous to mention them all separately, we've tried to improve CCleaner in all areas.
