If this is an actual problem i guess you would have to skip. same as a broswer cleaning of open office if open.

Personally i use k-lite
yes vlc does contain all its own codecs and does not require any system libraries.which means it can play mostly anything. Which means all the codecs are older versions.
KMplayer ftw!!!!!!

I was also about to reply before i saw aethec reply to remove glarys. I have known it to seriously compramise a system.

"despite having used every type of tweak" do you even know what the tweak you are doing does? and can you do this task your self manually?
I wish people would not be sucked in with 'THIS TWEAK MAKES YOUR PC 1000 TIMES FASTER"
I have never in my life used one optimizer and my pc runs superb. I do manually config my OS and software.

Hello and welcome. Could you please explain how this helps hide a file?
I just cant see how renaming a file could possibly help. The file is renamed before deleted. so how could this possibly hide it more?
you could rename it a million times and the fact still stands it was deleted with the last rename of the file. so if i broght a second hand pc and there was 100 files that could be recovered. it would not matter if they had been renamed 1million times sinc eim trying to recover the file infront of me regardles if its called 3453251q3.png
Please this is not a critism, just a general observation. I'd love to know more if this is the case

edit* i would how ever like the option to add a personal 'stamp' to the over write on last pass. example:this file was over written by ccleaner
-
Pleased i could help (

NEVER EVER remove an entry with out knowing what it is. This is a extreamly bad idea. That i know for a fact will never be added to ccleaner.

Everyone will probably have a different opinion here, but personally I wouldn't touch them. The space that empty folders use is negligible, but the hassle of accidentally deleting something that either isn't truly empty, or something that will cause another process to grind to a halt when it tries to write to a temp directory it can't find, isn't.
If you're worried about disk space then empty folders is the least of your problems. If you're worried about access speed I would suggest you use a good defragger like defraggler or diskeeper and trust it to move any truly useless junk out of the way and prioritise stuff that you access regularly.
If you're just a neat freak and prefer things to be tidy, stop looking at your C directory now before you go insane...

Alan thats a great insight, and something simular to what i have always wondered about browsers ability to actually clear history. Does it actually wipe the history or delete normal just to satisfy the user???
Moral of the story is. dont use IE
-
It's a fantastic little app.
-
ccleaner creates a temp file while deleting free space. Download WinDirStat http://windirstat.info/ to locate the file taking up the huge space.
It is removed at the end of cleaning. you may have interupted the process.

there is no infection what so ever in that link

This was the case, now changed the search bar.

Let me suggest to the developers of CCleaner, to add the feature to the startup manager, is very useful! and must not download other software! Thanks if you take the proposal under consideration!
yeh but what feature? you didn't say one
-
Yes, but you are dealing with Symantec are you not. You need a whole arsenal of tools sometimes to deal with their software at uninstall time.
You could try Revo Uninstaller on it - just remembered that tool.
isn't this why no one users Norton any more?
Tbh i am suprised they get any users with all the slating they get. -
as i have said above "i have just run the uninstaller in ccleaner and it does monitor the uninstaller which im impressed with. so not much help here as it works fine this end." It does remove the entry apon start of uninstallation.
Only mod or admin can help you here
-
-
I can't imagine it ever did refresh. How is it meant to know when the uninstallation has finished with out monitoring the uninstaller? All ccleaner does is run the applications uninstaller.
It could (maybe) remove the entry once activated the uninstaller but then if the uninstallation errored the entry would be gone and ccleaner would have to reget the installed applications.
edit- i have just run the uninstaller in ccleaner and it does monitor the uninstaller which im impressed with. so not much help here as it works fine this end.

It would be a better option. But to add that programmatically ccleaner would have to always be running. then be able to catch the system shut down event. Pause it. Run ccleaner, then shut down the computer. This would be a hughe task to try and achive.

cant you reinstall the driver?

Version 2.0
CCleaner 2.0 is completely rebuilt in C++[3] and portable and compatible with all 64-bit versions of Windows XP and Vista. The scanning process was also rewritten in C++, which enabled faster analyzing and cleaning. Its design also makes it capable of being installed onto a USB flash drive, which ensures portability.
-
c++ so i'm told. Not sure if it was made in visual. This is not really a ccleaner suggestion though.
-
Thats just plain wrong. Lets hope Obama can fix this. I think there would be a massive out cry in the uk if this happened.
-
If this was the uk (as i dont know US laws) i would say stuff them. There is no legal reason why you cannot wipe history, they cannot make speculation about what you have visited when there is no evidence what so ever what you have done.
This is a serious breach of human rights that only the US could do. There was a case a while ago in the UK where a suspected criminal would not reveal his computers password and he managed to fight it in court that it was agasint his human rights to reveal it and the judge ruled in his favour.
Now i would suspect the Uk laws have tightened up this loop hole now.
Having the absence of history is not odd at all. I think it's more common to not have one then to have now a days.
I have no history or cookies(unless active session) ever stored on my pc. Is this suspicious? I could not care. It's my right to not keep a history. Not because i have anything to hide. Simply because it's my pc and i choose it to be that way.
can you please post a link to this. i cant find anything for it.
edit:
As for your suggestion i think it would be a more 'red flag' to create a 'fake' history etc. if you have nothing to hide then who cares what they think? ccleaner is such a renownd cleaner, that im sure they would no ccleaner could write a set of fake history etc. This would be completly unneeded for most users since we have nothing to hide.
like i said it's not illegal to scrub up. so unles you have something to hide. who cares?
Cleaner gets stuck on this file $ru5j6uz.exe?
in CCleaner

i dont think a file could sound more conspicuous
