   I have noticed this also.

   So before people start writing threads about it or commenting on
   front page, I will assure you that something will be sorted and
   the owner has been notified.

   I have already set my system clock forward a week and it seemed to still load and run just fine.

   Has anybody actually seen the software shut down? Are any of the claims reproducible?

   At this stage it appears to be nothing more than a "comment" in the About box.

   I set my clock to 14 November 2008 without a re-boot and it still works.

   I think the coder means the licence is valid with respect to being installed within the 24 hour period.

   Maybe, hopefully as it's a good application with the odd spelling mistake.

   I don't like it. Firstly, one of my pet peeves is programs that won't let me resize output windows so I can read the output.

   I don't like that I can't preview what changes will be made - before actually making them (effectively using the software blind - with no undo)

   Also the giveaway is version 1.0 (Build 3) - so very early days - plenty of bugs to fix (and spelling mistakes to correct) - Hopefully at some stage in the future it might be a competitor - but the Freeware offerings in this field have always set the bar fairly high.

   Check out the following (and the comment suggestions that follow it)

   (Yes it is a little out of date - A refresh is on my to-do list).

   Yes the only two tools I have which are fine for me are:

   CCleaner (which can be reviewed here:)
