I remember now, those keys are called "String Value" like when you right click and create New->String Value in the registry, and when you right click them and select "Modify Binary Data" that's when you'll see all the stuff they can contain - I once saw one that had allot of stored data for a removed antivirus software. Those can have all sorts of paths stored in them that registry cleaners, etc., ignore if invalid. And if you try to modify them it usually ends up messing them up. See screenshot:

I don't care for the look of the GUI but it's something I could get used to over time. What they've did seems cosmetic. My main complaint however is the color of the titlebar, it sticks out like a sore thumb! However I'm thankful on two parts: 1. It works on WinXP. 2. The functionality and where things are located in the GUI haven't changed. I noticed a fix they've did when selecting drives for Wipe Free Space since in version 4.x I always have to scroll the list, whereas now in 5.x Beta all of the available drives are visible without the need for a scrollbar.

I'd recommend installing Nirsoft HashMyFiles (freeware) which can give you an MD5/SHA-1, etc., hash to know if the files are really duplicates.

I don't know about the key issue as to which is correct. There's PC Decrapifier. I've never used it, however it may help avoid the re-install of Windows.

Some registry values aren't easy to delete, for instance I've seen many jumbled together into a seemingly un-editable area (sorry can't remember it off the top of my head - but it isn't like anyone should play with it either). I've seen where folder locations are referenced, etc., and I've never seen any registry cleaner find them as invalids and tools like RegEdit won't find them in a search.

I got one of those scam phone calls today from Antigua Barbuda, the woman said her name was "Lisa" but it sounded like she said Wisa with her butchery of the English language. She said she was calling regarding my Windows 8 computer having a virus and is insecure, and I knew immediately it was one of those scam calls. She said can I help you with your Windows 8 computer. So I wanted to have some fun and I told her I knew my computer had a virus and that it's been giving me diarrhea everytime I use it, then I asked if she'd give me a kiss so I'd feel better. She hung up the phone.

All OSes have errors - they are after all made by humans.

Fire is a secure way! With how cheap hard disks (the old magnetic type) are nowadays someone could buy the computer and put in their own brand new hard disk - if an OS installation disc is also available.

Well the monitoring is in CCleaner Free too. If you're using CCleaner Free, see here for the settings of it: http://www.piriform.com/docs/ccleaner/ccleaner-settings/changing-monitoring-settings-ccleaner-free

On very rare occasions they could quickly release a minor bug-fix version, however the version number has always historically changed when that happens. Nothing has been officially stated in the Announcements area of any changes to v4.19, and nothing has been told to the volunteer moderation staff. If you ever question a download that makes you suspicious of it use a free online virus scanning service such as: Jotti, MetaScan Online, VirusTotal, etc.

Topic closed because there's already a discussion about it in your other topic located at: http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=42107

As you've stated I'd also prefer CCleaner have the ability by default to get rid of DOMStorage, which has been discussed on here for sometime by now. I don't know who started the discussion about it which made me realize I also needed to start deleting it regularly. The initial amount of it I found was allot (too much actually) which was several years worth. I'm thinking Avira Antivirus also creates junk in there too because more of it needs to be cleaned after installing Avira.

I've seen better wallpaper on an actual wall inside a house, just sayin'.

I have CCleaner get rid of DOMStore cache via Winapp2.ini, the line below can be modified to suit your Windows versions path to it since mine is XP. And it always has junk in it everytime I clean! %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\DOMStore|*.*|RECURSE

Good suggestion!

Your CCleaner version is outdated v4.19.4867 is available, although I don't know if updating CCleaner will fix the Winzip 19 issue.

If that extension is for a software you have installed you can stop the registry cleaner from detecting it by: Right-click -> Exclude

An admin has stated the following to me - should make many people really happy:

A few people have reported cookie issues, such as the 'Cookies to Keep' list being ignored and all cookies being deleted.

Is the OS in it based upon Windows I wonder? The crashing I'd expect they should fix with an update eventually.

I've moved this topic into the bug reporting section since all tried suggestions didn't work.

Same here too. The trend of never-ending constant changes every few months has left me just looking without buying into any of it.

The Xbox 360 sure did have a long life before being replaced! But both it and the PS3 suffer graphics wise compared to a Win7 machine built primarily for gaming but I don't like PC gaming since there's too much fiddling with settings, etc., whereas on the consoles it just works.

There's an on-going Pro vs Free discussion topic, maybe some answers in it for you here: http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=35787
