Gene has some good precortionary information about
installing c cleaner. I would like to add a little more to this information.
Many of these free programs, whether they be slim versions, light versions, or
portable,in recent times are coming loaded with mal ware. This wasn't always the
case and there may be still some that are free of malware but now this depends
on how the programmer compiles the installer.Here's what you can do, use an
unzipping program, I like 7 zip, try to unzip the installer of the program that
you want to install. If that works out, you'll have a folder with all the files
including the main executable. Most of the time you could just run the program,
there won't be any malware to worry about because you didn't use the installer
to install the program.When you run the program this way, in most cases it
will create a settings/data folder for it's operation, letting you know about
the folder that there's nothing to worry about. In fact it could be a good thing
if there's setting files such as i n i files that you might want to edit.I don't
want to get to far a field, but I want to say something else. Just this last
week, Roger was having problem with cdex to run in windows 10. Well it was
either that day or the next day, I did a little looking around and found the
latest version of cdex, it is v1.99, at the time had been out less
than 24 hours. I donloded both versions, the main and portable versions,
and both versions are loaded with malware, however if you can't uncheck
the box of which there's 2 or 3, if you can't uncheck them using your screen
reader, The good news is you could just unzip this one and run it. It runs very
fast and smooth, under the very latest windows 10 64 bit. When you first run it,
it will create that settings/data folder, and the great news is that
you can edit the i n i files to your liking.This is very good if your main
drive is ssd and you want your music folder to be on the drive, that's not
your main drive. The only other thing I think and Roger has probably checked
this is, is to go in the settings and make sure the burner you want
to rip from is the one that is selected. If not selected, go ahead and select
it.In closing if I can help in any way with any of this. Just let us know. If
anyone wants it, I can zip up my copy and put it up on sendspace. Thanks for
reading and happy safe computing.
