What a relief... :D

I've ccleaner v2.06.567. Ran it again and it removed over 1GB of trash.

I'll remove sys restore points for more cleaning.

Threatfire is already installed and asking for restart.

I'll report performance later on...

Thanks... :)

Very well.
Make sure, you reset System Restore, so nothing is lurking in old Restore Points.

System restore points are all deleted and system restore is enabled.

All icons in the system tray are working normally.

Computer behaving normal now.
