@Gubins:
if you are so lazy that one extra click is such drag and a hassle, and you might wear out your poor little finger then fine, but if you’re a normal human then what’s the big deal?

Sorry, but I guess you do not understand people.

I don’t see much point to this program. I’ve used CCleaner for ages and it can be run from the Recycle Bin by just a right then left click – if you are so lazy that one extra click is such drag and a hassle, and you might wear out your poor little finger then fine, but if you’re a normal human then what’s the big deal? It adds yet another program to a PC already overloaded with software, as is the case with any MS OS. I can run Ccleaner with IE open no problems and I set it up to clean on boot and I have used the Task Scheduler too with total success. What would really help is an add on that allows you to select folders in Docs and Settings for each user to save time setting up each user’s temp and Temp Int Files in the Include setting – that is a real pain with several users on a PC. It would help with setting up new users later on too. Anyone able to do that?

[...] privacy data: using a single click. Works well. An alternative to, say, Click&Clean or Cachepal. Cleans all areas that contain information on your internet activity such as your [...]

@expert: I agree with your replies, but I still do not understand your original statement that the referrer “tells your privacy settings and your login information” — unless it’s a poorly written site that passes sensitive info like your password in the GET string.

@James, how about tracking cookies:
“HTTP cookies, or more commonly referred to as Web cookies, tracking cookies or just cookies, are parcels of text sent by a server to a web client (usually a browser) and then sent back unchanged by the client each time it accesses that server. HTTP cookies are used for authenticating, session tracking (state maintenance), and maintaining specific information about users, such as site preferences or the contents of their electronic shopping carts.” From: hxxp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_cookie

This is only the insignificant part of the ‘hacks’.

@James: it is not necessary to shout here about the paranoid manifestations.
“When you click a hyperlink on one web site, your browser passes to the next site the address of the page where you clicked the link. This is logged by the server hosting the next web site.
The referer information can be faked very easily. Some unscrupulous web site owners will arrange to have several computers access a particular web site with a referer that lists their own web site address. There are a number of ways to accomplish this.” More: hxxp://www.spywareinfo.com/articles/referer_spam

@expert: You grossly overstate the ‘dangers’ of the URL referrer. Except for poorly made websites, it does NOT include your login information, nor does it contain any “privacy settings” (I’m not even sure what you mean by that).

Want to know what your referrer is? Just look in your address bar right now; whatever link you click next, the referrer will be the complete address of the page you were on before you clicked the link.

(You’re probably seeing “http://www.freewaregenius.com/2008/06/29/clickclean-clean-your-system-with-1-click-using-this-ccleaner-addon/#comments” — that’s your referrer for whatever you click on right now.)

So if you see your login info contained in the address bar, this info will be passed on to the next site you visit — but passing sensitive info like this in the address indicates an extremely incompetent programmer! I guarantee you that your bank — and probably any other major site you use — does NOT do this.

Granted, if you just visited hotsweatyladies.com before visiting my website, I might have and advertising script that responds appropriately; but even if you use a browser add-on to hide your referrer, I’ll still show you an ad — it’ll just be generic.

And if you’re really paranoid? Just open a new browser window/tab and type (or paste) the link yourself — that way it will have no referrer.

When you browse from page to page the web browser transmits a referrer, this allows the web server to know what page you was on before, tells your privacy settings and your login information.
With this ext. you can do not close your browser, just 1-click and clean & protect privacy by deleting your browsing history.

Also, every time you complete your online banking session, do not close your browser directly without a proper log out!

Seems kind of pointless to me. Personally I have Firefox set to delete private data on exit anyway (except cookies, history and saved passwords).

To skip these Firefox prompts ( mean Clear Private Data popup):
FF menu -> Tools -> Options…-> Privacy -> and uncheck ‘Ask me before clearing private data’.

When executing this from Firefox, you get two different messages saying that Firefox must be closed or the phase will be skipped (each of which awaits operator input). Kind of defeats the purpose don’t you think?

I waited for this util or something similar so long ago. 1-click..everything is very simple and convenient. Five stars, thanks to Samer.

As I see it, this saves me two clicks if I decide to use ccleaner manually. And one click if I run it from a batch file as described above. Do I really need a piece of software to do that? Isn’t there something a bit more useful you could come up with?

a batch file (or a shortcut) that invokes CCleaner with the /AUTO command-line switch will perform automatic cleaning of temp files as well.
