  1. CCleaner has a more gentle registry cleaner meaning it isn't going to find as much as a more aggressive registry cleaner. Also more aggressive registry cleaning can list false positives, i.e.; they can remove registry data which shouldn't be removed.
  2. All of the Piriform software available is listed on this page: http://www.piriform.com/products
  3. It isn't good. My PS4 copy I received on Saturday but it had to be exchanged by Amazon.com. I opened the shipping package to find the case was crushed and bent like some FedEx idiot had stepped on it or was wearing it as a shoe. I wasn't about to take the plastic wrapping off to also find a broken game disc. I should get the replacement tomorrow on Thursday.
  4. It doesn't clean anything on "adobe.com". It deletes the files that Adobe Flash Player have created on your computer after viewing a Flash enabled site, those files being locally stored on your hard disk: cache, cookies, and settings
  5. According to the Inside Gaming Daily on the Machinima YouTube channel MGS 5 is corrupt, it has a game save bug:
  6. I wonder if your YouTube accounts were hacked. May be wise to change the passwords just in case.
  7. I wonder if they went back to the very old way they used to deal with IE's index.dat files by deleting on reboot would cure the issue, which was something I had once suggested they bring back.
  8. See here: http://www.piriform.com/docs/ccleaner/using-ccleaner/wiping-free-disk-space
  9. The Includes Augeas mentioned are easy to add into CCleaner. Example (click to enlarge):
  10. I don't get that in SRWare Iron Portable v44.0.2350.0 (32-bit) which is based upon Chromium v44, I browsed eBay for several minutes and nothing was out of the ordinary, no warnings, no alarms, etc. Do you use an adblocker in Chrome, and a Windows HOSTS file? I do and perhaps they're blocking some malware on my end.
  11. Make sure firefox.exe isn't in the list of running processes in Task Manager (CTRL+ALT+DEL).
  12. If you have a recent restore point you could see if it can undo the damage.
  13. You can manually delete all the ZZZZ folders/files, they were used by Wipe Free Space, it leaves those behind if it hasn't properly finished, it can also leave those behind if it gets cancelled. You can try safe mode, that way you'll know antivirus/antimalware is completely off so it won't interfere.
  14. There's a community winapp2.ini file, to add in more cleaners. You can look through it to see if any of those cleaners already exist, and you can even make your own cleaners for it.
  15. Found this registry key for Chromium/Chrome, which keeps track of browser exit/shutdown as some sort of logging into the registry, I had over 60KB of the logging stored in the registry. New: [Browser Exit Codes*] LangSecRef=3029 Detect=HKCU\Software\Chromium\BrowserExitCodes Default=False RegKey1=HKCU\Software\Chromium\BrowserExitCodes
  16. Perhaps try to contact Piriform directly and tell them: http://www.piriform.com/support
  17. There is a backup feature/option before it deletes anything from the registry, as long as you haven't disabled that option. It will backup to a .reg file that when double-clicked will put the items back into the registry - but still you're better to create a System Restore Point before cleaning the registry with any tool.
  18. There are differences when comparing the results of Analyze, and Run Cleaner. Why, I don't know because we've never gotten an explanation. I think of Analyze as a rough estimate, but then again my results are never as vastly different as yours.
  19. I've never heard XP play any background "music" during installation and I've had to install it a bunch of times in the past. I however don't even want to think of an OS installation, it's been 5 years 9 months since my last one.
  20. I'm gonna be 44 very soon this month, and I'm still a gamer. Gamer 4 Life, been playing since the 1970s! It really has nothing to do with "growing up", it's just a form of entertainment, and a form of entertainment that's kicking traditional network television in its nether regions and stomping on it when it's down.
  21. Registry data in CurrentControlSet can only be removed after manually changing permissions/taking ownership, however if you're not comfortable manually editing the registry Hazelnut's advice of excluding it is the safest recommendation.
  22. Just ordered my PS4 copy a few minutes ago, looks like I'll be getting the Day 1 Edition with bonuses according to the description on Amazon.
  23. See this official post, i.e.; Piriform is aware of it: http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=44158&p=265544 Hazelnut linked to the on-going discussion about this issue with Edge in post 2. Since there's another topic about it I'll close this one.
  24. Since they're the correct size they may need to be muxed/re-muxed and then re-saved without re-encoding being necessary which would give them the necessary header information so that video players can play the files, know the length and properties, etc. There's various free muxing/remuxing software available such as Avidemux (no longer works on WinXP) which is where I'd start, and if it doesn't work look for something on VideoHelp.
