Winapp2.ini additions


Winapp2.ini

Recommended Posts

It just seems odd to me that there are wildcards for the file system but not for the registry.

Because wildcards for the registry could be incredibly dangerous, far moreso than regular wildcards.

Windows Live OneCare has been discontinued for many years now and no active downloads exist anymore.

 

I am quiet interested in why there are so many entires for discontinued apps that no longer exist for download anymore.

prefer not to remove anything that being discontinued because there still people using it even without support/new version

or put those discontinued software entry into new file or simply list it on winapp2.com but i think people who use those software might come here and ask why winapp2.ini stop support for those software

 

just wanna ask 1 question

why winapp2 nvidia use LangSecRef=3023 and winapp use LangSecRef=3024?

Why remove "old" programs? Many people might use them even though their development has stopped. I'm still using Resource Hacker, but it's on my USB stick.

 

+1.  Users of Winapp2.ini can use trim.bat to reduce size of file if desired.  ;)

Spydefense, Spyware Doctor, and Windows live OneCare don't even have download links anymore. Thus no one can use them, even if they wanted to. The others I just threw in more as a notice. Was just another suggesstion to shrink Winapp2.

No, no and no. At least offer a second file with all the entries. You can also use Trim.bat like already mentioned by siliconman01.

Many people use software even after it has been discontinued, like you can see it now happen with Windows XP. It's really not the best idea, especially with antivirus programs, but some of them can still remove older malware. Some people may also have uninstalled the discontinued software and then CCleaner can remove the files they have left behind.

By the point of the file -- to have a complete catalogue of ccleaner entries not integrated into the official program, for users to create their own file from based on what they have installed -- I too vote entries not be removed due to age (except the windows ME entry because if you're still using ME you probably would not even be thinking of using winapp2 or ccleaner)

 

 

ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION

DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF.

Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark)

ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

Edited DetectFile and added FileKey8:

[ComboFix*]
LangSecRef=3024
DetectFile=%SystemDrive%\ComboFix.txt
Default=False
Warning=This will delete ComboFix History. Do not delete until you have reviewed these logs.
FileKey1=%SystemDrive%\Qoobox|*.txt
FileKey2=%SystemDrive%\Qoobox\Quarantine|*.log
FileKey3=%SystemDrive%\CE.tmp|*.*|REMOVESELF
FileKey4=%SystemDrive%\D6.tmp|*.*|REMOVESELF
FileKey5=%SystemDrive%\Qoobox\LastRun|*.*|REMOVESELF
FileKey6=%SystemDrive%\Qoobox\Test|*.*|REMOVESELF
FileKey7=%SystemDrive%\Qoobox\TestC|*.*|REMOVESELF
FileKey8=%SystemDrive%|ComboFix.txt
Combofix didn't create "ComboFix" for me. Instead it created ComboFix.txt, which is a log file. So an (better) alternative would be:

DetectFile=%SystemDrive%\Qoobox
Missed Iron and FileKey4 and 7? http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=32310&view=findpost&p=247312

The Steam entries work wonders so far. One more:

%ProgramFiles%\Steam\SteamApps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\download|*.*|RECURSE
Quote from readme.txt in that folder: "It is generally safe to delete this directory at any time." I have over 1GB in that folder. Maybe Warning=This will delete all downloaded custom server files.

One more:

%ProgramFiles%\Steam|*.cache|RECURSE

[Windows Live OneCare*]

LangSecRef=3022

Detect=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\OneCare Protection

FileKey1=%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows Live OneCare Saftey Scanner|*.sqm|RECURSE

 

Windows Live OneCare has been discontinued for many years now and no active downloads exist anymore.

 

Does anyone know if OneCare users are even getting new definition files anymore? That antivirus was payware/commercial rubbish with MSE being it's free replacement.

Soo I'm super behind on winapp2's and I'm combing the current one and found

[MS Word 2007/10/13 Document Building Blocks*]
LangSecRef=3021
DetectFile=%AppData%\Microsoft\Document Building Blocks
Default=False
FileKey1=%AppData%\Microsoft\Document Building Blocks|*.*|RECURSE

I don't think this is junk

See: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-help/create-and-use-document-building-blocks-in-word-2007-HA010214071.aspx

 

Also

[MusicBee*]

LangSecRef=3023

Detect=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\MusicBee

Default=False

FileKey1=%AppData%\MusicBee|*.dat

FileKey2=%AppData%\MusicBee\InternalCache|*.*|REMOVESELF

I don't think FileKey1 is a good idea, It removes Gecko (mozilla) based rules, LastFm Connect Rules, Hardware associations, (very important!) File Orginization rules and many more

see image of my musicbee folder

Can you clarify on which if any .dat files are safe to remove from musicbee?

SPACE RESERVED

 

Once my PC is done updating I'll open some and check, but I'm unsure the original creator's intent. I think activity log may be safe and maybe error log, but my feelings on error log cleans are mixed.

For DivX:

%CommonAppData%\DivX\Setup|DivXSetup.log
For Skype:

%CommonAppData%\Skype|*.tmp
For Search Everything (includes names and locations of all files, will just be regenerated on next start):

%ProgramFiles%\Everything|Everything.db
New:

[PhrozenSoft Databases*]
LangSecRef=3024
DetectFile=%AppData%\PhrozenSoft
Default=False
FileKey1=%AppData%\PhrozenSoft|*.db|RECURSE
VTUploader creates history file \PVTUploader\phrzvtu.db and Keylogger (not necessarily malware) creates pkl.db which contains all recorded keystrokes and also the password used to open the logger which will be reseted if you delete that file (so I guess that's an issue with that file). So maybe do it like this:

FileKey1=%AppData%\PhrozenSoft\PVTUploader|phrzvtu.db
Question: Does CCleaner not clean all the stuff cleanmgr deletes? Like the Service-Pack-Backups? Could not find them in the Winapp.ini and Winapp2.

I installed the winapp2.ini and the trim.bat but when running the trim.bat it asked me a few questions that I did not know which one to select in the cmd. I pasted part of the cmd below. In the ccleaner folder I now see another folder called #TRIMMER and the ccleaner takes a very long time to load.

 

I also add that the ccleaner is the portable version, but this time is installed on the desktop of the computer.

Run trim.bat. CCleaner appears. Click "Analyze" and when done close CCleaner
A temporary Winapp2.ini variant is created that asserts "Default=True".
"CCleaner /Debug" is launched to identify all "Detections"
and a trimmed Winapp2.ini is created which omits the NON-Detections.

I also saw a few more questions below the above, but was not able to copy/paste or save.

This might be a dumb question, but how do you find registry keys for steam games? For instance:

 

[serious Sam 3: BFE Logs*]
Section=Games
Detect=HKCU\Software\Valve\Steam\Apps\41070
DetectFile=%ProgramFiles%\Steam\steamapps\common\Serious Sam 3
FileKey1=%ProgramFiles%\Steam\steamapps\common\Serious Sam 3\Log|*.*

 

How do you figure out that this game is Apps\41070? Where do I look to find that out?

Don't know if this is how the entries makers did it (so feel free to correct me), but a quick search of my drive for the app numbers finds appmanifest files, numbered the same, in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps. These can be opened with notepad and the game name is in those files :)

 

EDIT: Although far easier lol, just found in each games common folder is a text file titled steam_appid.txt :rolleyes:

app_id.txt and the steam store lists the app id in the url

I've made the entry I think, but yeah from there and

[Lazarus Saved Forms*]
LangSecRef=3026
SpecialDetect=DET_MOZILLA
Default=False
FileKey1=%AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\*|lazarus.sqlite;lazarus-backup.sqlite
What about cleanmgr.exe (e.g. Service-Pack-Backups)? Does CCleaner remove this or is there a reason why not?
