* Support for Orbitum, Superbird, BlackHawk and Cyberfox browsers.
* Cookie Manager now excludes some cookies of popular sites by default if no cookies are excluded by the user.

* Modified some plug-ins.
* Added Plug-ins for cleaning: Adobe Premiere Elements

Thank you for all your support.

This is on Windows 8.1.1 x64 Professional. I can perform a File Explorer>right click on a file>Secure Erase on my Intel SSDMCEAW240A4 mSata drive and my Intel SSDSC2CT240A3 SATA drive, both of which are SSD drives.

Hi siliconman01,

It erased zero bytes.

The program will just delete the file, without erasing it.

ahhhh, ok. Maybe the confirmation box should have a line stating "0 bytes = File deleted by not erased"

Ace Utilities v5.8 released.

There is an issue with 'Erase Your History'. After putting check marks on all of the options, I clicked on Start Cleaning and I was getting the error shown in the snapshot. Then, I was not able to close the program, I had to use Task Manager to end the program.

Hi saad,

This happens when you select the Misc page, and that page is loading its contents.

Each item is returned by Windows itself, and it takes time since it is calculating the space it will cleanup.

Some items like "Service pack cleanup" can take some time, like several minutes.
You can go to the Misc page and check the status message to see which item is being loaded.

We will check the issue, but please leave Misc unchecked, or just let Ace run for some time and see if it completes loading the Misc page.
