The defaults are good for cleaning, and you'd need to read up if for instance enabling anything under Advanced. Since you're dealing with a slowdown every few days: * Do you regularly restart your computer, like at least once or twice per day? Doing this alone can fix many things like a memory leak, etc. * Occasionally defrag your hard disk after using CCleaner. This can be advanced, however I'd make sure the hard disk(s) are in DMA or UDMA, and not in the slow PIO mode, here's a search about it.

You don't need to start another topic, your original post is located here which is still an open topic. This topic is closed.

Edit: Nevermind, I misread your post.

These are the settings Nergal is referring to: Deep Scan | Scan for non-deleted files

You've tried to help me with this before a long time ago but I couldn't get it work. I'll leave it for a stormy day without electricity project when I'm bored senseless. Mine can detect the gaps between tracks making skipping an undesired track easy. It of course doesn't work very well when there isn't at least a 2 second gap.

Problem with waiting for a computer disaster is you lose all your cherished files, music, etc., and it takes allot of time to put things back exactly as you had them before. You only have to lose all your files once or twice before you start diligently making good thorough backups. What I'd do: 1. Make two sets of those OS restore discs, and then put them away somewhere safe as a last resort to undo disaster. 2. I'd use a disk imaging software which can quickly re-initiate the OS to a fully working order with all of your software ready to use, which completely prevents having to re-install everything. Should that disk imaging software ever fail there's the OS restore discs to fall back on as a last resort.

That's one reason to track installations. I know the Realteck network drivers I installed for my new NIC card have no uninstaller, there's nothing in Windows Add/Remove, nothing in CCleaner, and nothing in my go-to tool for uninstalling Revo Uninstaller - but I tracked the installation with Total Uninstall which in that case is my only avenue of removal.

I still have mine that plays audio cassettes from my high school days (I used it in school on a daily basis). What a rugged piece of old tech it is as I've dropped it many times before and it never broke once. I still use it if there's a bad enough storm that knocks out the electricity for several hours. If only I could remember how to also operate my portable Sony CD player, I think I used the lock feature on it and can't remember how to unlock it.

Have you looked on the Iobit website for a removal tool/uninstaller for it, don't know if they have one or not but that's were I'd look first.

I almost feel messing around with the recovery partition is only going to cause severe grief if you don't know exactly what you're doing, and cost money to get an installation disc if something goes wrong.

Lucky you, because I've never been able to uninstall an MSI package via CCleaner. It could however be WinXP OS related.

CCleaner has always in my past experience never been able to initiate an uninstall when it came from an MSI package. For MSI packages it has always caused Windows Installer ("msiexec.exe") to complain about ccleaner.exe running, and that it must be closed to continue the uninstall.

I notice two different files systems shown in your screenshot. One reveals it's NTFS, the other doesn't. Maybe look for a freeware hard disk inspection tool to see if it also lists two recovery partitions.

Only thing is some people won't like changes and updates in programs and will refuse to upgrade, so it shouldn't be a problem to allow cleaning of old versions.

I have numerous things excluded. Do to the way some stuff is stored in the registry it can cause registry cleaners to deem them as errors. Also some files are self-registering.

I don't understand why so much fuss is about the wording of it. If anyone would like I can very easily delete my submission and be done with it.

They wouldn't be "useless" because if someone were experiencing bugs/issues in Panda Cloud Antivirus, I'd think they'd ask for those logs on their forum to see where errors occurred.

Then re-name yourself, it's just two words. On my system I personally clean more than those, and "(Other Logs)" which I could've just as easily named "(Safe Logs)" isn't to be confused with something as generic as just plain "(Logs)" where people could potentially start adding stuff into it such as perhaps unsafe logs to clean like; Virus Scanning logs, Process Monitor logs, etc., which would make tracking down what it may have automatically blocked, cleaned, etc., without any user interaction impossible to know - especially if more than one person uses the computer.

I'd be way more scared of a gang of Vespa riders!

If anyone that uses Adblock for Chrome v2.7.3 and has started noticing ugly garbled text in it the reason is because of the font it now uses which is called and named: OpenSans.woff Simply deleting that font (while your Chrome-based browser is closed of course) will completely get rid of the ugly garbled text. After it's gone and when you then look into Adblock settings, etc., it will now use a Windows font. The font is located in the Extensions folder in your Chrome-based browser, it's like this for Comodo Dragon: Your User Profile\Local Settings\Application Data\COMODO\Dragon\User Data\Default\Extensions\gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom\2.7.3_0\font

Good question because some malware/ransomware hides files without necessarily deleting them. To launch Internet Explorer without any visible shortcuts available: 1. Click: Start > Run 2. Type in: iexplore 3. Click: Ok

After a massive file corrupting issue I had about 7 years ago using a cleaning software during a Wipe Free Space (aka "Erase Free Space") I no longer try to forcefully stop any software once it begins the Wipe/Erase operation because in my views it's only asking for trouble.

Doing a "trick" like turning off the engines is very dangerous, because a chopper is only going to glide for so long then drop like a stone. When I was a small kid at 8 or 9 years age there was a helicopter company giving rides on a Saturday, nothing like that had ever been available before so it was all over the radio. Long story short my grandmother and mother spent way too long doing the usual weekly Saturday morning shopping so we didn't get to go. Luckily we didn't get to go being we got there too late because a few hours later we found out the ride we would've been on had a firey crash, killing everyone onboard. Eventually I got my chopper ride though a few years later when on vacation in St. Louis, Missouri, the pilot flew us over the stadium where the Cardinals baseball team plays. It was an expensive very brief ride.
