  1. You need to move Facebook's cookies into the Cookies to Keep side of CCleaner, do this by going into CCleaner's: Options > Cookies Also see the official documentation about it: http://www.piriform.com/docs/ccleaner/ccleaner-settings/choosing-which-cookies-to-keep
  2. Maybe some more info is needed such as what firewall software is it, or is it a hardware firewall?
  3. With everyone reporting it was just Jeep I felt like it would go further because Uconnect is what they use in so many vehicles. Many a YouTube video states it's the best infotainment system in a car.
  4. I've never seen a single registry cleaner function as you've explained. Registry editors for manual cleaning do that via searching though. It would be an interesting concept although the complexity of the registry means if you for instance only search by vendor name you're going to miss a plethora of leftover no longer needed keys that don't go by/under the vendor name and also some use 3rd party software to make theirs function.
  5. If you read that article Hazelnut gave a link to you can't "deactivate" on Win10 like in previous versions of Windows.
  6. Maybe the videos are missing the headers, my guess. I don't know of any free video editing software that can handle the .mov (Quicktime, Apple) format (if those files are actual true Quicktime video) so maybe search the web and you "may get lucky."
  7. If Microsoft is going to be updating drivers automatically with no opt-out I can only foresee issues galore. For example I would never willingly download a graphics display driver from Windows Update. I wonder how PC gamers will deal with that and the display drivers possibly going foul. Edit: I forgot about printer/scanner drivers, etc. Hmm, will DLLHell of old become DriverHell of new?
  8. Saw part of this on the news this morning, and then took in the full official video of hackers remote-controlling a car via WiFi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MK0SrxBC1xs Wonder if that means cars will need a software-based or better hardware-based firewall sooner than later.
  9. /AUTO doesn't run the registry cleaner and for good reasons as already detailed in many other topics requesting automatic registry cleaning. Here's the official help documentation explaining all of the command line options: http://www.piriform.com/docs/ccleaner/advanced-usage/command-line-parameters
  10. Also make sure you're downloading from Piriform.com, try the slim build installer from here: https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/builds
  11. I wonder if it's something as simple as a missing registry key. And I also wonder if installing other software in the future could suffer from the issue, such as an anti-virus not knowing which version of Windows you have and thus fail to install, etc., or if it's just a Speccy only issue.
  12. Same thing my friend Nergal stated above, however explained a bit different: CCSETUP507_exe is not a valid EXE extension, it's missing the required dot, it should be ccsetup507.exe
  13. CCleaner default install doesn't deal with the Crash Report produced by Mozilla products such as Firefox. However I believe the winapp2.ini community file eluded to earlier in this topic does deal with them - of course you'd probably still experience the very slow initial startup and usage of CCleaner until the Crash Report files are removed.
  14. Shellbags are in the winapp2.ini community file. CCleaner's configuration can be easily backed up by going into: Options > Advanced > Save all settings to INI file
  15. I've only had Automatic Updates set to Disabled since last year. Security Center I left on since it does monitor that the Windows Firewall and installed antivirus are on - I've seen antivirus have some fault and not turn on at boot-time with the only clue to an issue being the warning from Security Center stating it isn't on.
  16. Formula 1 racecar driver Jules Bianchi passes away at age 25 due to diffuse axonal injury. See the F1 news article here: http://www.gpupdate.net/en/f1-news/328174/jules-bianchi-dies-at-age-25/
  17. There are 84 entries of it cleaned via winapp2.ini for games and Windows. For XP specifically I made this for winapp2.ini for my own XP system: [CryptnetUrlCache] LangSecRef=3025 Detect=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows Default=False FileKey1=%AppData%\Microsoft\CryptnetUrlCache|*.*|RECURSE FileKey2=%windir%\System32\config\SystemProfile\Application Data\Microsoft\CryptnetUrlCache|*.*|RECURSE
  18. Those can do very wide-spread damage since they're often called land hurricanes.
  19. They do have the very old SpywareGuard (only tested up to WinXP), although old it is still functional. From what you've stated I thought of it and wondered what if - as in what if they had combined the two in someway all those years ago.
  20. Thanks for letting us know how things turned out! And a belated welcome to the forums.
  21. We were in the basement until 6:20pm last night when they cancelled the tornado warning for Burlington, IA, and it was a very eerie storm that was literally "the calm before the big storm" because there wasn't a sound outside - something which I've seen hundreds of times before living in the midwest. When I came up from the basement I looked east towards the river and Illinois and the sky looked black and ominous, and then I think at 6:39pm the TV weather stated a trained spotter spotted a huge tornado that was moving slowly at 25mph. It was on the ground for a very long time!
  22. Yes, and it was released after XP had been around for awhile. While it's not just for IE it will stop a ton of stuff that tries to exploit IE thus protecting the whole system silently without annoying the user.
  23. This powerful big tornado started forming over Burlington, Iowa where I live early in the evening last night, and then went across the river and caused severe damage in Cameron, Illinois which is a short drive from where I live.

  24. I don't get any poop-ups ("pop-ups") from Microsoft because I disabled the Automatic Updates service. One other thing this old XP system runs relatively fine without any bugs be introduced by Microsoft via updates.
