I just downloaded a free copy of Glary Utilities Pro, an offer from CNET. How
reliable and safe are these utility programs that supposedly clean up your
Windows system? I just ran one thing, which searched for empty folders on my
system, and it found 4,400 of them. I manually checked a number and sure enough,
they were empty folders. So, I deleted them (but they're still in my recycle bin
for now.) So are programs like this safe to use? I donwloaded this one because
it was a CNET offer and I always took them to be reliable. Thanks.


Hi rfdjr1,

If you are suffering from junkware due to this, drop me
a line under a new thread (Ping Todd) and I will
walk you through how to remove it/them

Thanks for the offer T but I'm good. I run a malware program in the background
and do a weekly scan. So far, so good.


Good news. Glad you didn't get nailed.
