You'd be smart to edit your posts where you've placed your email address hence that's one very easy way to get allot of spam.

Ouch. I still like the 505 HP Corvette Z06. If a poor man get's rich he can get a McLaren SLR.

Eldmannen is correct Norton sucks! It not only sucks system resources, hdd space, it also sucks allot of money out of your wallet. As for the free av's I'm going to flip a coin as to what I'll choose which will either be AVG Free or Avira AntiVir. I really like the new AntiVir, however I'm hoping it still isn't a false positive whore as it used to be!

Ditto.

It should come apart fairly easily. You won't have much room to play around inside it (which I wouldn't do if it's running fine). Get a can of compressed air for removing dust. To cleanse the monitor make sure you only use cleaning wipes that are specifically designed to clean an LCD monitor. You should be able to find those at practically any office/computer store such as Staples, etc.

It's CCleaner's application cleaning routine file: C:\Program Files\CCleaner\winapp.ini The suite browsers Mozilla and Netscape are useful on systems where allot of people use one computer to have multiple browser user profiles versus multiple Windows user profiles. The reason I mostly use Mozilla Suite is because of the built-in Composer which can create webpages in a flash without messing with HTML in Notepad, etc. If you're a single user and other people aren't constantly on your system Firefox or Opera are good choices as they aren't bloated in anyway or come with unnecessary bits that you may never actually use. P.S. You state you're a novice, but please give yourself much more credit - you're smart in not wanting to use Internet Explorer.

@John God You could perform a quick test to see if your scanner works all by itself: 1. Shutdown your computer. 2. Removing the daisy chaining of the scanner and printer, and then plug the scanner alone directly into the back of your computer. 3. Start you computer. 4. If the scanner works alone there inlies the problem, e.g.; your scanner is loosing communication because of being daisy chained with the printer. Also you could uninstall the scanner software and then reboot, and then re-install it followed by another reboot. No gaurantee this will work and it probably won't last for very long if it does initially work, but at least it "should" cause the scanner software to attempt to re-detect your scanner.

The whole 'toolbar and tainted' talk are becoming so boring. I wish this thread could just have excitement and thank you messages going out to MrG about the new version that is forthcoming which represents a major bugfix in the Hotfix Uninstaller and some other bugfixes. If people want to constantly bitch about the toolbar just revive one of the threads that are just for that.

It's better to wear a seat belt versus being scrapped from the confines of the automobile with a spatula after an accident. Imagine how upset people would be if they had to wear a fire retardant racing suit, a helmet, and have a HANS device just to drive. No wait that's Formula 1.

It's both a monitoring & surveillance software for spying on users of a system for finding out what people are doing on a PC, e.g.; a parent could use it to see where their children goes on the web, a company could use it to make sure employees are actually working, etc. It's however a pay-for-it type of spy application and has to be manually installed - it isn't just going to end up on a system like malware. * Symantec info * Product info

Netscape Navigator 4.x is cleaned, but there's no newer versions listed in winapp.ini. If you switch to Mozilla Suite CCleaner will offer to cleanse it. Mozilla is what Netscape is based upon.

Do you need a batch file to clean out Opera? If so I've got one.

In general it's the software that causes the problem, at least that's what I think. I was able to figure out exactly what the problem was on mine back in the day; It was because I had to daisy chain the scanner and the printer together and with both sets of software installed it always killed the scanner's software or connection for some unknown reason. Installing the scanning software alone and not the printer software would allow the scanner to work for a short time, that is up until it decided to stop working again. ---- Edit: I'm completely guessing as I've never tried it; adding another printer style serial port "may" be a solution.

The only thing I can think of which probably isn't the case would be if Opera's registry data wasn't in the default location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Opera Software It's impossible to know what the winapp.ini entry does exactly as it has some sort of detection code which doesn't list directories or files in plain sight as the winapp2.ini entry does.

Interesting.

Depending upon where you live you should actually be able to find an all-in-one which is a Printer and Scanner combination starting at approximately $50 USD and then going up in price from there.

The beginning info of winapp2.ini is nothing more than to hold the copyright info, and to give the code as to what goes with what for proper placement within the CCleaner GUI. It's all commented out using these ";" therefore if the beginning wasn't there it would make no difference, CCleaner would still see the cleaning routines and use them.

Nah I know you're a Corvette Z06 kinda dude! Who isn't. And of course when you aren't driving that you'll need an ASC Diamondback Viper powered by McLaren. That connection speed testing site would probably register my connection as non-existent, and then go into a lengthy technical explaination of just how crappy my connection is.

I'm the exact opposite, I like the no humans pic.

If you're going to sell your old PC to someone and if you've had sensitive data on your system (banking account info, addresses, etc.) you may actually want to secure erase the hard disk using something like Eraser. I believe it has the ability to also create a bootdisk that will erase a hard disk as well.

Removed the color as I didn't even notice it before. No! And before someone asks: Q1: Why? A1: Because I don't want to! Q2: But why don't you want to? A2: Please refer to A1! ..........

This forum needs to implement a feature of Homeland Security but instead modify it for thread hijacking probabilities. Of course we'd always be stuck in red.

It's been suggested before, I think perhaps in the suggestions thread but who knows since most people don't put suggestions in there. I'm all for CCleaner not using the registry to store it's settings, I prefer everything to be done via .ini files.

Plain and simple it's broken. In reality it should have been thoroughly tested before the release of 1.27, but oh well.
