CCleaner has had many reports of the installer not working for months (maybe years by now), which is often thought of as being the Standard installer and security software (anti-virus, anti-malware, anti-spyware, firewall) blocking the installation due to the Google software offers it has. One solution is to wait for the Slim build (the installer without any Google software offers) to be released, it's usually about 1 week after the Standard installer was released. Or use the Portable ZIP build which is released at the same time as the Standard installer. I personally always use the Portable ZIP and have no blockage of using the program, no false positives, no problems whatsoever as it pertains to updating - albeit manually updating.

100% anonymity for a WinXP Pro SP3 computer. Like all sites it's way off on my geo-location, detects my DNS incorrectly but had the IP address correct. Doesn't detect the adblocking software both uBlock Origin (In Firefox) and Adblock Plus (in SRWare Iron). Sort of an ok site but I take the results with a grain of salt. Edit: I think the biggest security is by not having Adobe Flash or Java installed!

That seems to be the consensus from what I've read online. One interesting thing that I've seen mentioned is tools should run the first pass as Random, followed by a second and perhaps final pass as Zeros.

Pothole!

It was reported on the news that here in the U.S. people getting hit and injured and/or killed by cars is on the rise do to them walking and looking at their phones and not paying any attention to their surroundings.

Also search VR (virtual reality). At least VR is becoming a "reality", albeit for game systems with expensive goofywear to put on.

Also forgot to change the version and date released in post 1 in this topic.

I'd recommend you make a known good backup and store it off the hard disk(s) onto sometime external such as; a USB thumb drive, USB hard disk, CD, DVD, etc., that way if something goes wrong you'll have a backup of your important stuff. You should be making such backups regularly anyways as a precaution.

What Nergal said. I don't keep entries I've made just to myself, I submit them. What I meant by I maintain my own is all of those in my winapp2.ini I made on my own and maintain it, I don't even use the community winapp2.ini file.

I maintain my own personal winapp2.ini file.

I wonder if it's because of the digital signatures. In particular if they're not signed using 256-bit which some software is moving too. But of course if they were 256-bit older OSes like XP would deem them invalid.

If you have a recent System Restore point see if that will undo the damage.

ZoneAlarm always gave me issues with driver installations, but that's been so many years ago - hard to believe they've never fixed that about it. It was the one reason I mentioned if you had a software firewall installed!

It's in the GUI, it's: Options > Advanced > Hide warning messages

I realized that "ccc" meant CCleaner, but since the deed was already done and is now an install/reinstall problem I focused on that. I know from past experience if something was installed via a Windows Installer package (.MSI) it shouldn't later try to be uninstalled with CCleaner because Windows Installer will complain during uninstall that CCleaner must be closed to continue. Ignoring that Windows Installer warning I don't know what the consequences would be. Although I don't know if those network connector drivers were originally installed via a Windows Installer package or not so the above may have no merit on the issue this topic is about.

Another possible culprit is if you have a 3rd party software firewall installed, they don't always play nice with driver installations and have to sometimes be fully disabled to allow the installation to properly succeed. As for the driver that isn't installing, look in the Program Files folder, and user profile area Application Data folders for leftovers that may need to be manually deleted. Reason is sometimes leftovers in those locations can cause a reinstall to always fail. Edit: Forgot to mention. Make sure you have System Restore enabled and turned on. About three months ago I couldn't install Nvidia Display Drivers because I had System Restore disabled and the drivers would fail to install 100% of the time.

Perhaps there could be an option to exclude those from web browsers that still save images in a viewable manner instead of locked away inside a cached file, such as Internet Explorer, etc.

Notice it's the Portable version, not the regular installation version. Although the "Portable" version isn't really a true portable it's just minus an installer.

For whatever reason this was removed from winapp2.ini. Here's a re-submission with updates: Changed Detect to Detect1. Added Detect2 and FileKey3 [Auslogics Disk Defrag Portable*] LangSecRef=3024 Detect1=HKCU\Software\Auslogics\Disk Defrag Portable Detect2=HKLM\Software\Auslogics\DiskDefrag Portable Default=False FileKey1=%AppData%\Auslogics\Disk Defrag\Reports|*.* FileKey2=%AppData%\Auslogics\Disk Defrag\Logs|*.* FileKey3=%CommonAppData%\Auslogics\DiskDefrag Portable\*\Reports|*.*

Dell isn't really known for troubleshooting (I know because I've bought 3 computers from them over the years), and if it's Windows related issues they will likely tell you to restore the original operating system, thus starting over completely fresh. Although with the problems you've mentioned I don't know if troubleshooting would work with all the OS upgrades, and then the OS downgrade. Perhaps doing a clean install of Win10 would work out better - that is if time permits and if you've properly prepared by making sure you have the Win10 installer ready to go, and have made backups of important files, etc.

Since Firefox was uninstalled, and If you want Firefox completely off your system including that left over Firefox Profile: Open the folder location shown in the CCleaner window, and delete the Firefox folder.

Thank you for letting everyone know.

I had thought XP support already ended according to their system requirements page, which was why I never bothered with it.

I've got nothing against this topic, and have always looked at what Willy2 posts about the bugs he's found. I think changing the title will make little difference, as long as the wording "defraggler and bug" is anywhere in the title. Perhaps just "Willy2's Observations" would help -- then again maybe it would also make little difference. Reason being if people search via Google, Bink or whatever search engine from outside of the forum to hunt down issues they've encountered the topic could possibly be one of the links provided.
