PS:: Run each program 2 times out of the week ((you pick the days))Hey if you have about $50-100 (prices vary from whom you buy from) to invest into a very very nice program that is rated 3x better than Nortan get the program "System Mechanic Professional 6". I'm using it right now and OMG my internet has never been faster nor has my computer operating! Well just to let you all in my little program life!http://www.iolo.com/sm/6/purchaseinfo.cfm((If you buy this program please know about your computer... Also if you need help with the program just ask.))Add on!(Opera is a very good internet browser; quick loading, quick downloading, and you can even open PC files using Opera)
If you run the Opera system there is a temp bin for those files too its called "Cache4" here is were its located.
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\Opera\Opera\profileLook for the folder that says "Cache4"
Open it press ctrl+A then press delete
These file are files that save themself to your pc as temp. files so they are useless
