[Guest Mr. Low]

Hi,

Can it eliminate useful old data or other program related files that are

useful for good performance of my PC?

I don't tick that. It compresses files and doesn't eliminate them. You

might want to add Crap Cleaner for clean ups. It does a far superior job

over the XP native application. Get it at http://www.ccleaner.com/

the compression of old

files to help give you

some hard disk space.

 

the will uncompress if

you initiate/launch an

old program on your

system.

 

here is more info:

in addition, i suggest you

run this regularly too:

most of the time I

select the custom option

and skip the viral scans,

but after a while you'll

get the hang of it and

what is best for you and

your pc.
