I have been using this for about a year and for the most part works pretty well. The only area that I have a concern is the Adware scan, it never finds anything, then ran Adware, whoala, adware. It works great for the software though. I think it is the best way to see if your registered software is actually up-to-date.

Netscape

In this version of Netscape you will loose the export address book feature. If it is necessary to export these files to another program. You will need to convert the files to *.LDIF format using a older version like 4.78 found on Tucows or other sites. Importing from Netscape (ie: Outlook Express) will not work because the files can not be seen. They are "pab.na2" format.

Reset /RebuildTCP/IP stack in XP
|
XP does come with a command-line utility--called NetShell--that allows you to reset all TCP/IP-related registry settings to their default values. The end result is essentially the same as installing a brand-new TCP/IP configuration.
To reset all TCP/IP-related registry settings, open a command prompt and type the following command:
netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt
You must specify a log file in the placeholder for this command to work. Details about which registry keys were modified will appear in the log file

Gator is a example of what does not completely un-install. This program finds all the files, even in the registry and will remove it completely. The most common statement used is, I un-installed it and gator pops up every once in a while. This will remove it entirely.

Two ways to run this backup, 1) Several floppy disks. I stopped the process at the 5th floppy.
2) Make it part of the boot loader and it is one of the options.
