Sorry I wasn't clear! I don't see a box labelled "MS Office" to uncheck - which MS box/es are significant? Just want to follow your suggestion - you know better than I, for sure! Thanks for being there.

Firefox, they are probably running CCleaner while Firefox is open. This is easy to correct...
Spybot & Ad-Aware cleaning features are less than clear, that's just bull@#$! right there.
#1. CCleaner's cleaning on them applications is just common cleaning standards.
#2. You can always open up any of the ini's and see what it cleans.
Uncheck all boxes under 'Applications'. That's just retarded, even a user with basic Windows knowledge could see none of the entries cleans "required" application files. Just common log, MRU's, and backups that are useless.
I have no reason to lie nor am I just saying this because I am a Moderator. I became a Moderator because I liked CCleaner and wanted to help anyway I can.
The only box you should uncheck is MS Office if you use it alot or have custom settings.
As for Issues, yes it does have it's corks. It sometimes does find registry keys that are vaild, just look over them. If you are unsure, just unselect it. You should always back up your registry before using any registry cleaning program anyways.
I just don't think they even took the time to actually see what it cleans nor do I think they even have any basic knowledge of the programs they use or Windows.
I will put it this way, you give me an application I have never used before and I will have CCleaner cleaning all traces of using that program (if possible).
They have no knowledge of Windows or the applications they use. They are entitled to their own opinion, as am I. But, I love the way people say CCleaner crashed or messed up my system, or something along them lines. They never have any details on what caused it, (if it even was CCleaner). We have not received any posts saying any of the problems stated on they are saying.
There are some really smart pc techs on this forum that use this program for work related and never has it caused any of the problems stated.
Do as you wish.....
I don't see a box for MS Office - we use it regularly and don't need problems. Could you be more specific? Thanks!

It's safe to let CCleaner deleate everything it can. Even the Issues scanner is completely safe and will speed up your PC. The only thing that I dont have checked is the advanced options under the windows tab.
OK!

Actually CCleaner should have cleaned out the search history. Start up CCleaner and look under the Windows tab and internet explorer and see if every thing is checked.
Yes, "Autocomplete, etc." not checked! Thanks again Didn't know what this meant and was put off by "Loose saved password" warning.

My wife called Geico and got a quote way, way above what we pay for, believe me, fine coverage. When she said, "No thanks," the agent got all huffy and said, "Oh well, if you're only interested in saving money." And hung up!

I'm glad I chose the IE option now, or we would have had 2 posts the same.
Theres nothing wrong in working as a team though.
This may be "The Lounge" but rridgely and CaPman are not lounging! Springing to help the helpless within minutes! We know the answers to our problems are there before us - but only the choosen have the keys. I saw your fast replies but only now able to do the fix. Thanks a lot you two - you are a HOT team. Problem solved and a brain/mind happy (Any reason CC doesn't have this option since it takes out history? Just wondering.)

Any way to delete all those old searches that come up when entering first letters of search on Google, Yahoo. Just entering a letter or two can bring up a whole bunch of old crap. CC doesn't touch it - perhaps there's a way. Sharper mind than mine needed!

Thanks Tarun!!! You solved my problem. "Close all browser windows and THEN run CCleaner." Open their eyes and the blind shall see! Now - how are the brainless made to think? Thanks again!

Thanks a lot! (And your first post was not even "kind of" harsh if judged by what is seen elsewhere, in forums, on the web.)
