I want to use the internet optimizer.

But I got the return message "Error: Internet Optimizer cannot be run on this system because you are using a local network based DNS."

What's meaning? Does it mappen when I use to connect the internet by a WLAN?

The error message means your internet connection is using a local network based DNS. For example, this the DNS setting of your computer has been set to point to your router box and your router uses some external DNS to do the actual domain name service. In these cases, you should configure your router first in order to be able to use custom DNS server.

Hi jv16,

In my case, the cleaner misses several key temp directories, most notably the OS's main temp directory. Since the detection seems to be faulty, I highly suggest adding the 'Calibration' section back, so we can specify/force cleanable directories.

Have you noticed the default enabled safety setting which will ignore all temporary data which has been recently modified (or created)? It is not recommended to simply delete all temporary data, as the data might still be in use. That is why jv16 PowerTools by default only lists data that is old. If you disagree with this policy, you can disable this safety check from the program settings (this is not recommended, though).

If you have already disabled this safety check, please let me know what temp directory the app is missing.

We are working on a major update. I think it's better to fix many issues at one time and then properly test the new version before a release, rather than trying to hurry a release out every week. That being said, the new version is almost ready and if there are no issues found in testing, it could be released later this week.

If you mean the "Do not list temporary files that which have been recently used" setting, it is not checked. I unchecked that upon install. In my case, theres no reason to ignore temp files of any creation time-stamp, so I dont use the safety check in that way. With that said...

The application is not detecting the system temp directory as defined in the OS environment variables. It specifically ignores the TMP and TEMP path variables, for both System environmental variables, and User environmental variables.

System Properties -> Advanced tab -> Environment Variables

Almost one month later. Any projection as to when the new update will be released?

Sorry about the delay but we really don't want to release anything with quality control issues anymore. A preview build 590 was released last week in the forum and another preview build will be released probably later today. If all is good, the official launch will be next week.
