Is there any way to save the cookies I want to keep, like cleaner for Windows?
-
Yes, some site may use multiple cookies. Are all of the cookies from cookies to keep, or are the ones you listed one you want rid of?
All 42 cookies listed are to keep

can you list some of these remaining cookies?
I've opened several of the cookies and the issue appears to be that some of the saved cookies listed in CC have multiple cookies in the cookie folders.
Could this be normal?
Could it be that older cookies have a newer version?
My memory is not clear on this because it has been a long time but when I reinstalled one of my operating systems I saved the cookies and then copied them back. I believe I may have had problems with (some or all) of cookies after doing this (might have been because of the .DAT file) and they may have been created again? This could have been the reinstallation of Win 7 but I’m not sure?
Most all of the cookies have coded names such as "1WYRAWKU.txt". Would a list of these be of any help? If so I will create a list. I had to open them to find the actual "owner name".

IE, Tools, Internet Options, Security Tab, Enable Protected Mode can then be unticked..
Thanks for responding.
Unticked Protected Mode and then ran CC, no change in Cookie issue.
-
can you run CC with the PC in Safe Mode?
see if that changes the cookie behaviour.
that will definitely eliminate any possibility of interference from other tasks.
I did as you suggested and ran the Ccleaner in Safe mode, no difference!
Do you have Protected Mode turned on in IE?
I don't know, could you explain where I would find Protected Mode?
-
browser?
Mta based on the location I'm going to be safe in assuming it's IE Is ie open during ccleaning? Are any other programs which might use ie (such as outlook or some sidebar apps if you didn't turn off sidebar apps)
Thanks for the replies.
I don't have anything open when cleaning.
Any other suggestions?

Win 7 x64
I have the ccleaner set to clean cookies but save 45 of them. After running the ccleaner I have 166 cookies remaining in C:\Users\owner\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Cookies and 7 remaining in C:\Users\owner\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Cookies\Low.
166 + 7 = 173 - 45 = 128 extra remaining after running the ccleaner.
Why is this?
-
Win 7 Home premium IE 11
IE tool bar, Safety tab or Tools tab, if I "Delete Browsing history" will this also delete the cookies saved in CCleaner?
Also if I delete "Browsing history" in Internet Options, will this delete the cookies saved in CCleaner?

Two places - either by it detecting program installation folders or entries in the Registry.
Thanks
-
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
Where does Ccleaner get the information for which programs to included on the applications tab?
Thanks
-
Yes, I think this is the problem.
Are index.dat and desktop.ini the only two files that are supposed to be in
C:\Documents and Settings\LocalService\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5 ?
That is what I have after running the CCleaner
-
My experiance is that CCleaner sometimes wont delete files in a folder and I think that it was because they were corrupt or infected. After manually deleting them there were no more problems.
-
Update... I was able to finally boot up... Not into safe mode tho. I restored my system to an earlier date, I merged the registry info back in. What I thought was the black screen of death turned out to be just an extraordinarily long boot. After I resotred everything I dont understand why my computer isnt back to normal. Any ideas?
What do you mean by isn't back to normal?
-
For piece of mind.
Erunt (registry backup) is free. http://www.snapfiles.com/get/erunt.html
DriveimageXML is free. http://www.runtime.org/dixml.htm

Found this on another board and the only thing that I would add is that if you get back into Windows and things aren't right do a system restore. Hope this works and would appreaciate knowing either way. Also, if you don't have an adm password set just press enter. I also found another fix but it is more complicated.
"Windows\System32\config\system" file missing or corrupt
Sol: Boot using Windows Setup CD and enter into "Recovery Console" by pressing "R". Now Log into windows installation and enter admin password. Now give following commands at prompt:
copy %windir%\Repair\system %windir%\System32\Config
If it doesnt work, then again boot into "Recovery Console" and give following commands:
fixmbr
bootcfg /scan
bootcfg /rebuild
fixboot

I should revise my statement "For what ever reason the entry and files were still present after rebooting." to For what ever reason the entry was still present after rebooting and maybe the files.
Can you visually verify that these files are present?
-
OK, thanks. This suggests even more strongly that these are holding files for a reboot shred by McAfee, and not malware after all.
The poster's first HJT isn't dated so we don't know when it was but there must have been a reboot because he didn't get help that soon. This suggests to me that the McAfee entry wasn't clearing for some reason and it could be that it wasn't shreading those files and was caught in a loop????? I haven't used this so I don't know if that is even possible (loop) sounds good though
.For what ever reason the entry and files were still present after rebooting.
-
Found a thread here where the user has the same files, they also used McAfee.
Is it this HJT entry you are referring to?
I want to see if this line clears:
O4 - HKCU\..\RunOnce: [DelayShred] "c:\program files\mcafee\mshr\ShrCL.EXE" /P7 /q C:\DOCUME~1\Mike\LOCALS~1\Temp\TEMPOR~1\Content.SH ! C:\DOCUME~1\Mike\LOCALS~1\Temp\TEMPOR~1.SH! C:\DOCUME~1\Mike\LOCALS~1\Temp\History\History.SH! C:\DOCUME~1\Mike\LOCALS~1\Temp\History.SH! C:\DOCUME~1\Mike\LOCALS~1\Temp\Cookies.SH!

Glatzfront,
Thanks for your help. I will try the safe mode scan. CCleaner seems to do a good job deleting the contents of the Temporary Internet Files, History folder and Temp folder. And it can be set to shred multiple times, which IE won't do by itself. But CCleaner doesn't even see the new ".sh!" duplicate folders, and the automatic IE deletion you suggest won't affect them either, so I don't know how that would help. McAfee's shredder tool (or other shredder tools) works fine to remove the ".sh!" files when pointed to them manually, but I'm concerned about their source, and how to eliminate once and for all. Someone must know what these are.
Not knowing what they are suggests malware.
I don't know if automatic IE deletion would delete these suspect files either, the reason I suggested it is for security. Temp int files are a gateway into the computer, with this setting they would be deleted automatically each time the browser is closed.
I don't even want to imagine why you would need to overwrite temp int files but most would be overrwitten by other data soon after deletion. If concerned about data that can be recovered, a tool that overwrites deleted files might be a possibility because this would include all deleted files that haven't been overwritten. If that much security is needed you would also need to clean the MFT and other file tables. Just my thoughts anyway.
-
This setting will help a lot towards preventing malware from entering your computer.
Temporary Internet files set to delete when browser closes
Internet options- advanced tab- scroll towards bottom and select to delete temp int files when browser closes.
-
Well, yes, that's what I'm wondering.
Update your protections and scan in safe mode
-
Thanks!! you have solved the mystery...maybe I should delete Norton and re-install CCleaner!
Try AVG free antivirus
-
Could you be infected?
