WOT just click there and on that page click on the download now and you want to get the one for the browser you use so if you use Internet Explorer choose the one for it IE if you use firefox choose the one for firefox, if you use both then you have to get both for each browser and use the specific browser to get them. that is all there is to it, after that you will see the green yellow or red circles to let you know if you want to go to that page, if it is red stay away.

I have both and use both, but even after using CCleaner, AWCP always finds a few more registry items to fix. However, I also have Reg Supreme, which I purchased several years ago, and it finds still more in the registry to clean. Just like the spyware scanners, each one finds things the other misses. But if you prefer to have just one program of that type, I'd recommend Advanced Windows Care because it does so many things to optimize your computer. There is a paid version also, called AWCProfessional, but the Personal version is the freebie.

I would not allow site advisor to update in fact it is no longer on any of my machines, you can remove it from add remove programs. it once was a good tool, but it got very greedy and wanted to really take over and stopped letting people make changes to it,and started installing components with out letting people know just like what just happened to you with that application installer cleanup app, that upset a lot of people and many many people left it then which is when I left it. It is McAfee ! Now instead we suggest using WOT on all the browsers it does a better job and it is not intrusive into the system. Safe Browsing tool WOT Web of Trust I will see if Bill P the creator of winpatrol has a simple tutorial or if he knows of one and let you know. I know that Corrine has done some tutorials on it in the past.
