Custom Rule Creator
Overview
The Custom Rule Creator allows you customize your cleaning tasks. If there
are specific folders or (for example) types of files that you want to remove
from your computer, then you can create a custom rule to rid them from your
computer.
The Custom Rule Creator enables you to search for and clean files...
n ... located in a specific drive or folder.
n ... with specific file extensions. For example, you may want to clean .zip
files (zipped or compressed files), .doc files (MS Word files), or .log files
(log files).
If the extension list box does not display the specific file extension that
you want to search for, you can add a custom extension directly in the
Custom file type text box.
n ... based upon the age of the file.
n ... based upon the size of the file (in Kilobytes).

Browser Cache Cleaner
When you browse the Internet, your browser copies each Internet page and its
graphics to a cache folder (temporary Internet files) on your hard disk. The
browser can then load the page quickly if you return to it again.
This is a useful feature if you repeatedly visit the same Internet pages and their
content does not change. Most of the time, however, the cached files are not
useful and can be deleted.
The Browser Cache Cleaner helps you to quickly get rid of these cached files
that may affect your computer’s hard disk space and performance.
