From SnapFiles:

"Tweakeze is a pro-active tool to monitor changes to your file system
and Windows registry in order to prevent and remove undesired changes.

It comes with several pre-configured monitors (Watchers) that will
monitor and clean common system areas such as browser cache, history and
privacy traces, temporary system data and application specific traces.

The built-in Watchers should be sufficient to perform the same privacy
cleaning as offered by most other applications of this kind. Tweakeze
however takes it a step further by allowing you to create your own
Watchers based on different triggers (e.g. process, application,
registry change etc.), file types, file age and other details. The
Watchers can be configure to either delete, move or copy files.

Other features include secure data deletion and several system tweaks."

Portable Installer available
Updated to Version 2.17.1777

The home page says that the free version includes "Automatic update
checks". Allan, do you know if there's an option to turn off update
checks? IMO, programs that update automatically (like Windows 10 and 11
for instance) should be avoided whenever possible.

So I don't see them, I filter out:
-crossposts (sent to multiple newsgroups) at a time
-posts sent via Google Groups*
-Uzoreto (AKA "Vipernews", another source of spam) posts
-trolls (egs. Mick Finnlay, the stalker "Bucky Breeder" and his many
sock puppets, etc.)

If you do the same, it will make the group more readable for you.

*If you're using Google Groups, you'll be unseen by most regulars in
this newsgroup. Eternal-September no longer propagates posts from this
source to this newsgroup because of large amounts of spam being sent
through it. You should use another free newsfeed like this one instead:

I don't know. It was interesting to me, but I haven't tried it yet.

I tried it, and I'll pass on it.
I didn't see a way to turn off automatic update checks.
An option to manually check for updates was only available for the
Payware version.
At every startup, a nag screen for feedback is displayed:
"What are you looking for Tweakeze to do for you?" and
"What type of user are you?", along with multiple choice answers.
An email address was required as well.

Thanks for doing that, Allan. I'll pass on the program myself. It's a
good premise for a program, but their implementation (as you found out)
apparently isn't acceptable.

Doint the same will make the group more readable for you.
