  1. This was sent to me by the user Test

     

    On Windows 8.1 x64, the entry finds a lot of files that are .bak, .log, .logx, and others that I believe would be pretty risky to remove.  I do not recommend such a "global" code for Winapp2.ini. 

  2. On my Windows 8.1 x64 Professional system, the two suggested new entries shown below:

     

     

    [LocalService Cached Certification Files*]
    LangSecRef=3025
    Detect=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
    Default=False
    FileKey1=%WinDir%\LocalService\AppData\LocalLow\Microsoft\CryptnetUrlCacheContent|*.*|RECURSE
    FileKey2=%WinDir%\LocalService\AppData\LocalLow\Microsoft\CryptnetUrlCacheMetaData|*.*|RECURSE

    [NetworkService Cached Certification Files*]
    LangSecRef=3025
    Detect=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
    Default=False
    FileKey1=%WinDir%\NetworkService\AppData\LocalLow\Microsoft\CryptnetUrlCache\Content|*.*|RECURSE
    FileKey2=%WinDir%\NetworkService\AppData\LocalLow\Microsoft\CryptnetUrlCache\MetaData|*.*|RECURSE

     should actually be:

     

    [LocalService Cached Certification Files*]
    LangSecRef=3025
    Detect=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
    Default=False
    FileKey1=%WinDir%\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\LocalLow\Microsoft\CryptnetUrlCache\Content|*.*|RECURSE
    FileKey2=%WinDir%\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\LocalLow\Microsoft\CryptnetUrlCache\MetaData|*.*|RECURSE

     

    [NetworkService Cached Certification Files*]
    LangSecRef=3025
    Detect=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
    Default=False
    FileKey1=%WinDir%\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\LocalLow\Microsoft\CryptnetUrlCache\Content|*.*|RECURSE
    FileKey2=%WinDir%\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\LocalLow\Microsoft\CryptnetUrlCache\MetaData|*.*|RECURSE

  3. For the soon to be released Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 2.0.  I recommend that this code be "in addition" to the current Malwarebytes Anti-Malware code in Winapp2.ini because many people may elect not to upgrade to this new version. 

    [Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 2.0*]
    LangSecRef=3024
    Detect=HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\mbam.exe
    Default=False
    FileKey1=%CommonAppData%\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes Anti-Malware\Logs|*.*
    
  4. On Windows 8.1, the FileKey1 entry for [Windows Burn Cache*] is different.  Here is the change.  I suspect the original post is in error. 

     

    [Windows Burn Cache*]
    LangSecRef=3025
    Detect=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CD Burning
    Default=False
    Warning=This option will wipe all files that are waiting to be burned to a CD/DVD/BRD
    FileKey1=%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Burn\Temporary Burn Folder|*.*

  5.  

    That was how I originally had it then someone for whatever reason changed it to DetectFile.

     

    This is how I have mine now, no need for a DetectFile at all:

    [Config.msi Folder*]
    LangSecRef=3025
    Detect=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Installer
    Detect2=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer
    Default=False
    FileKey1=%SystemDrive%\Config.msi|*.*|REMOVESELF
    

     

    That works for me as well.  :)

  6. Modified:  Added DetectFile=.   The current "Detect" key is not present in Windows 8 x64 Professional

     

     

    [Config.msi Folder*]
    LangSecRef=3025
    Detect=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Installer
    DetectFile=%SystemDrive%\Config.msi
    Default=False
    FileKey1=%SystemDrive%\Config.msi|*.*|REMOVESELF

  7. New Entry:  [Western Digital MyCloud Drive (Logs)*]

    [Western Digital MyCloud Drive (Logs)*]
    LangSecRef=3024
    Detect=HKLM\Software\Western Digital\WD My Cloud
    Default=False
    FileKey1=%ProgramData%\Western Digital\Logs\WD QuickView\*\|*.log
    FileKey2=%LocalAppData%\Western Digital\WDNasSetup\|*.*|RECURSE
    
  8. Please remove the entry listed below. There is no .log file there to be removed ever. I have been watching this entry since PerfectDisk 12.5 & until the current build, 13.0. There is a file in that location called 'PDBootLog' and that is not a .log file. It is an essential file for the program. A snapshot of the location is attached with this post.

     

    [PerfectDisk More*]

    LangSecRef=3024

    Detect=HKCU\Software\Raxco\PerfectDisk

    Default=False

    FileKey1=%CommonAppData%\Raxco\PerfectDisk\*|*.log

     

    I have PerfectDisk Pro V13 (Build 770) which is the latest version of PD.  There is a log created named PDBootlog.log.  It is generated when you do a Boot Time defrag.   This is on Windows 7 x86 Professional.

  9. Does anyone know what's up with Reserve.tmp in my winsxs folder? Everything I've read says it should delete itself after a few days but it's been there for 11 days now and 2% of my drive space is occupied by that file alone.

    Hmmm...Reverse.tmp does not exist on my Windows 8.1 x64 Professional nor Windows 7 x86 Professional systems.  :unsure:

  10. If the [Office 2010 More*] code above is okay, then it also applies to Office 2013 as shown below.

     

    [Office 2013 More*]
    LangSecRef=3021
    Detect=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common
    Default=False
    FileKey1=%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Office\15.0\OfficeFileCache|*.*|RECURSE
    FileKey2=%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Office\15.0|OneNoteOfflineCache.onecache
    FileKey3=%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\OneNote\15.0\OneNoteOfflineCache_Files|*.*|RECURSE
    FileKey4=%AppData%\Microsoft\OneNote\15.0|Preferences.dat

     

     

  11. I think that should be RECURSE as it cleans it's own detect, But I think this one has been discussed before that it could be harmful for uninstalling some updates

     

    Post 4 on the Wilders Security forum gives some pretty compelling arguments as to why NOT to delete $patchcache$.

     

    http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=341036

     

    And this statement from the link below:

     

    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/heaths/archive/2008/07/24/why-windows-installer-may-require-so-much-disk-space.aspx

     

     

    Package cache copy

    Whether or not a user interface is displayed, the primary portion of the installation - the only portion that should attempt to modify machine state - runs as a service. At this point, the package - either a .msi file stripped of any embedded cabinets, or an entire .msp file - is copied to the Windows Installer cache under %WINDIR%\Installer. If the installation is successful, this file will remain in that location for all future maintenance installations including uninstalling the product. Patch packages are cached in whole to make available any updated files for future maintenance installations like repairs or installing additional patches.

    This location is under %WINDIR%\Installer.

    These files cannot be deleted or future maintenance installations on products - including even uninstalling a product - will fail.

  12. How's this for wmdb?

     

    [Windows Media Player (Databases)*]

    LangSecRef=3023

    Detect1=HKCR\Windows.Movie.Maker

    Detect2=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer

    Default=False

    Warning=This will remove ratings, play counts, last played, etc.

    FileKey1=%SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\NetworkService\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Media Player|*.*|REMOVESELF

    FileKey2=%SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\NetworkService\Local Settings\Microsoft\Media Player|*.*|REMOVESELF

    FileKey3=%WinDir%\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Media Player|*.*|RECURSE

    FileKey4=%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Media Player|*.wmdb;wmdbexport.xml

    FileKey5=%WinDir%\system32\config\systemprofile\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Media Player|*.wmdb

    FileKey6=%SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\Default User\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Media Player|*.wmdb

    FileKey7=%SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Media Player|*.wmdb

    ExcludeKey1=%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Media Player|CurrentDatabase*.wmdb

    ExcludeKey2=%SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\*\Local Settings\Microsoft\Media Player|CurrentDatabase*.wmdb

     

    I'm not experiencing any problems with the code above and Windows Media Player 12 on Windows 8.1 x64 Professional.

  13. New Entry:  Bitdefender Total Security 2014 (Logs)

     

     

     

     

    [bitDefender Total Security 2014 (Logs)*]
    LangSecRef=3024
    Detect=HKLM\Software\BitDefender\Bitdefender Total Security
    Warning=This removes only logs created while scanning external drives and other special unneeded scan logs generated by Bitdefender scanner.
    Default=False
    FileKey1=%Appdata%\Bitdefender\Desktop\profiles\Logs\*\|*.xml

     

  14. Modified [internet Explorer 10/11 More*]- Removed FileKey7, FileKey12, ExcludeKey1

     

    These are not needed because the cookie handler built into CCleaner properly handles these cookies.

    [Internet Explorer 10/11*]
    LangSecRef=3022
    DetectFile=%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows\WebCache
    Default=False
    FileKey1=%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\SmartScreen|*.tmp
    FileKey2=%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Vault\*|*.vcrd
    FileKey3=%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows\AppCache|*.*|RECURSE
    FileKey4=%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows\IECompatCache|*.*|RECURSE
    FileKey5=%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows\IECompatUACache|*.*|RECURSE
    FileKey6=%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache|*.*|RECURSE
    FileKey7=%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows\WebCache|*.*|RECURSE
    FileKey8=%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows\WebCache.old|*.*|REMOVESELF
    FileKey9=%LocalLowAppData%\Microsoft\Windows\AppCache|*.*|RECURSE
    FileKey10=%WinDir%\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache|*.*|RECURSE
    RegKey1=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLSTime
    
    
  15. Modified Entry:  [internet Explorer 10/11*]-  Added ExcludeKey1

    In the code below, FileKey7 removes cookies without regard to the built-in intelligent cookie logic or manual entry that specifies which cookies should not be removed.  In my personal case, this removes a banking cookie that my bank uses to force a member to have to enter a code via mobile text or telephone each time the member signs on to the e-banking website.  I do not want this cookie removed.  ExcludeKey1 prevents this code block from removing the cookie.  (To comply with CCleaner's cookie management features, FileKey7 and FileKey12 probably should be removed completely from this code.  That would negate the need for ExcludeKey1.)

    [Internet Explorer 10/11*]
    LangSecRef=3022
    DetectFile=%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows\WebCache
    Default=False
    FileKey1=%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\SmartScreen|*.tmp
    FileKey2=%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Vault\*|*.vcrd
    FileKey3=%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows\AppCache|*.*|RECURSE
    FileKey4=%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows\IECompatCache|*.*|RECURSE
    FileKey5=%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows\IECompatUACache|*.*|RECURSE
    FileKey6=%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache|*.*|RECURSE
    FileKey7=%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows\INetCookies|*.*|RECURSE
    FileKey8=%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows\WebCache|*.*|RECURSE
    FileKey9=%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows\WebCache.old|*.*|REMOVESELF
    FileKey10=%LocalLowAppData%\Microsoft\Windows\AppCache|*.*|RECURSE
    FileKey11=%WinDir%\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache|*.*|RECURSE
    FileKey12=%WinDir%\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCookies|*.*|RECURSE
    RegKey1=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLSTime
    ExcludeKey1=FILE|%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows\INetCookies\Low\|*.*
    
  16.  

    Also a duplicated entry:

    [Windows Log Files More*]
    LangSecRef=3025
    DetectFile=%windir%\Panther
    Default=False
    FileKey1=%windir%\PANTHER|
    
    [Windows Log Files More*]
    LangSecRef=3025
    Detect=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows
    Default=False
    FileKey1=%WinDir%\inf|setupapi.offline.log
    FileKey2=%WinDir%\Panther|cbs.log;DDACLSys.log;miglog.xml;Migrep.html
    FileKey3=%WinDir%\winsxs|poqexec.log
    FileKey4=%WinDir%\debug\WIA|*.log
    FileKey5=%WinDir%|SIGVERIF.TXT
    FileKey6=%WinDir%\System32\sysprep\Panther\IE|diagerr.xml;diagwrn.xml
    FileKey7=%WinDir%\Panther|PostGatherPnPList.log;PreGatherPnPList.log
    FileKey8=%WinDir%\Panther\UnattendGC|diagerr.xml;diagwrn.xml
    

     

    This name duplication is preventing either one from showing up in the Applications tab.  Looks to me that the first/top one needs to be totally removed.  :wacko:

  17. And another error, filekey duplicated in this entry:

    [NVIDIA Updates*]
    LangSecRef=3023
    Detect=HKLM\Software\NVIDIA Corporation
    Default=False
    FileKey1=%CommonAppData%\Nvidia\Updates|*.bak
    FileKey2=%CommonAppData%\Nvidia\Updatus|*.bak
    

    Can you tell I'm looking through the whole file for the first time in ages :P

     

    These are not duplicated FileKeyx.  One is for Nvidia folder Updates and the other is for Nvidia folder Updatus.  Note the spelling difference.  ;)
