Hey guys,

I downloaded and ran WinDirStat to see what was taking up all my drive space and found
that 89% ( 25.9GB ) was being used by Windows Installer files...over 1000 .msp files.!!

Is there a brainless clean up tool that will take care of this problem for me?

I dowloaded and ran CCleaner but havn't tried the "advanced" option yet.

any help would be appreciated.

Thanks and have a super swell Tuesday!

Phil

please post your topic in the malware forum (a link in my list of programs below). Take all the preliminary steps. After the experts from the malware forum confirm that the computer is clean, and if the problem persists, post back in this forum. It might take some time because they are quite busy there.
