It does not get that far. I mean it freezes before the "what to clean"
options screen appears.

Is that on the machine that is full of spyware and virus? If so get rid
of these pests before you address this issue.

Sirius,
Can't you clean the machine manually the first time?
Example:
Open Internet Explorer
TOOLS menu | INTERNET OPTIONS & click the delete COOKIES/TEMPORARY INTERNET
FILES
Close IE
Then
START | RUN & type %temp% & press ENTER
Delete all of all that you can from there
Now, go back one level & clean the HISTORY folder
Next go to the WINNT\TEMP folder & delete all the junk from there too
Lastly, the Recycle Bin
If you have the .NET Framework 1.1 installed then this simple utility will clean
most of the above locations (except HISTORY folder) in one button click

It will speed deletion up for you

The thing is, that a lot of files refused to go, even in safe mode. But I
managed to get them later with CCleaner,
like instructed by Maximus the Mad
