Hello eL_PuSHeR - Thank you for providing us with his little gem. For months now I've been having problems with I.E. 11 randomly freezing and/or crashing, and the usual fixes haven't solved anything. During that time, I was running regular scans with Avast, Malwarebytes, and Trend Micro Housecall. Each of them reported no problems with regard to viruses or malware being present on the system. The first time I ran ZHP Cleaner, it reported a browser hijacker had been installed to the Windows registry and quarantined it. Since then, no more problems with I.E. 11. Thanks again. - Derek
Different infections require different tools. There is a reason we ask members to post a Farbar Recovery Scan Tool log before proceeding. The log reports these tools generate allow us to see whats really going on. These tools have non public scripting capabilitys that give us more control then standard users.

I am a student at geekstogo Malware school and none of my teachers have heard of this program. The exe is flaged as Malware when uploaded to virus total. A flag does not always indicate a posative infection how ever if it's not disgust at geekstogo/bleepingcomputer then i think you would be silly to run the program.
Another point is it instals itself in a common malware location. APPData is where data lives. Not executables.

To replicate:
quick launch ("C:\Program Files\CCleaner\CCleaner.exe" /auto) ccleaner (Minimize to tray is enabled)
Invoke quick launch icon again.
Now since CCleaner is a single instance application this should not be occuring. Maybe a suggestion here would be to bring ccleaner to front when parsing the /auto command if an instance is already running.

Provides instant screen grabbing and image uploading.
This tool really speaks for itself. Don't know how i managed before stumbling across this little application. The time and effort it saves is amazing.
-
Can i ask what evidence there is that ccleaner did this? Does ccleaner even have the capability to remove files from the desktop.
-
The same reason why people stay on IE6/7...lazyness, disabled updates by the-friend-who-knows-a-lot-about-computers, fear of change...
Bit of a snobby opinion don't you think? Maybe a user would prefer there add-ons are updated first or another reason perhaps. No need to label every user the same when the statement is completely untrue.

As said before i do not bother with reg cleaners. Maybe if i uninstall an application. If i was to suggest a reg cleaner it would be registry mechanic.
I think ARO is far to over aggressive regardless of the editors review. How much did they even investigate? One clean? 100 cleans? who knows. Reg mechanic found 22 error's and reg mechanic does scan deep. ARO found 782.
Maybe it's showing off for a trial version? I again can not answer that as not investigated. Or can criticize an application i do not know any thing about.
But finding 700+ more error's then a very good piece of software raises deep concerns for me.
*edit*
Oh and just noticed it installed ASK WHEN I UNCHECKED IT :@

To me it just looks like a cleverly written advertisement for that mentioned program in the article.
Cleverly written? Looks blatantly obvious advertising to me
-
You are being far to clever. I think you are raising needless fears.
Hi Alan. I had a few drinks when i wrote that last night and was not really thinking along the lines of over complicating things. In views of that i will rephrase my post in a more user friendly way.
OP: My interpretation of your question is you are worried after over writing data information may still be recoverable.
One single pass should be perfectly sufficient when it comes to over writing sensitive data. When over writing the whole volume One pass may leave a small % behind but a second pass should clean this up. If the 1% of data is valuable enough to be concerned about then the data is valuable enough for you to incinerate the drive in the first place and as they say
Nuke it from orbit because it's the only way to be sure
-
Oh of course. I completely understand it's a beta and take full responsibility by doing this.
Was more of a general warning to other users wanting to participate in the beta testing stages.

If anyone tries it out can you please post what you think of it.
Just had a quick glance and first impressions looks promising. I scanned a couple of infected files that Two online scanner's detected 13 malware traces. Spybot detected none. That was the end to my looking around the scanning side of things.
Took more of a look at "Auto Runs" section and though this is more like it. How ever it brings nothing new to the table or any thing that i would not expect to find in a basic start up manager. Deleting old values provided no function via a context menu instead having to be done from the toolbar. Just did not feel quite right.
The process manager UI thread becomes frozen when navigating between processes. Gathering information about selected processes should not freeze the UI. I was in the middle of cleaning but still this should not be happening.
Uninstalling seems to be failing. Was given the option to undo manually the changes SB had made. If i do want to change what SB has done this should be auto at a simple yes. But then again they both refuse to even open for me manually doing said tasks so forced to continue on with out changing these
Has now for the second time been frozen uninstalling
Summery nothing new or special and definitely made me wish i had never of installed.

Even after multiple passes of $R data, information may still be recoverable/viewable. (after 5 passes of random data, about 3% of bits won't have cycled at all and 6% will have only cycled once). After destroying the data several passes of random data may be used to hide the fact that data was destroyed, but simply overwriting with several passes of random data doesn't guarantee that no data will be recoverable.

I took a dislike to the spybot team many years ago after donating ?50 and not even getting a template written thank you or any thing.

well after nearly losing my little girl to meningitis, hence why i have not been here. We have the exciting news we are expecting another.

Mine was spent most of it.... well i dont remember much. Had some fantastic news after the worse imaginable so lost a few brain cells

Hi, new here to this board but certainly not new to CCleaner. I don't know if this is a suggestion or just an observation. It's always struck me as just a little bit odd that the changes in my CCleaner are set to take effect just by ticking the appropriate boxes and then closing out of the CCleaner application. I guess I'm used to making my changes and then clicking an "OK" button.
You change the checked state of a checkbox and it up dates it self to be checked or not and you think this is strange............. No it is not really. It's logical
-
I think what dennis is implying is that this is not directly a CCleaner issue.
CCleaner has installed. M$ Uninstaller lists it. There fore this is a revo issue.
CCleaner is listed in my revo.

hazelnut i was going to message you. Can we open a discussion up on our views on this as long as we dont directly talk about any illegal file sharing and software associated with it?
-
Your thoughts?
That registry cleaning is a waste of time. I would much rather the team spent there time on other aspects.

Gimp is pretty much the same as PS. If you googled gimp then you would of found loads of tutorials.

It's a question of having to mate
-
Just to add. There could be something stuck in the recycle bin that's hidden. Download windirstat http://windirstat.info/ run the scanner and see if there is a file located in the recycle bin.
This could be the cause of why it's taking a long time. As hazelnut said 35 passes is a waste of time.

How do you know unless you are apart of the team? I am not saying this program is good or bad i am saying my opinion that i am trained to do so. My teachers who are the best in the world have not heard of this application. That still does not say it is bad. I personally uploded the latest exe and it reported 52/3 infection ratio which is still not a flag it is bad.
I just ran this application on a fresh VM and it reported 99 infections. Here are some points i think should be made clear.
The school i am in was by a previous admin here who ran the help section in the malware fourm. I am not saying this application is bad. I am saying you do not have any experience in malware removal and are suggesting tools that go agasint other schools rules.
