    Try Tuneup Utilities 2009, They have a free trial and its fairly cheap to buy, I use it and find it does a good job, It also has its own Defragmenter and file recovery and you can change vista themes and boot up screens with its styler.

    Onyx is a popular one. I would definitely check it out.

    Vista themes? kwaaaaa? did you really mean to post that link in the Apple and Mac OS X forum?

    Great, ill try Onyx, is there any adverse effects i should be aware about?

    Edit: I think the moderators moved my topic into Windows OS discussion...which is odd because I'm talking about my macbook.

    Set Firefox (Menu/Tools/Options/Privacy/Settings) to erase upon exit.

    If you want to clear externally, use CCleaner.

    If you want to clear the URL drop-down use this.
