  1. It isn't even listed here in the system requirements on the official docs site. As you state it should be listed on the download page! Edit: The final version that works with non-SSE2 compatible processors is listed in the quote below.
  2. I never knew that so thanks for the information! I'm currently at 6 custom subscriptions, so close to maxing it out. It also doesn't help much where it will list some subscriptions as pre-built in ones, and then for whatever the hell reason immediately after they're first updated moves them (and even automatically renames some) and places them into the custom section, in Firefox on my system those were: * Anti-Adblock Killer | Reek * Malware domains (long-lived) * Nano Defender Integration
  3. Probably only a web browser that is getting "cookied" at that very momemt in time as you browse would know difference, hence the reason you can block third party cookies in most web browsers. As for CCleaner or similar cleaning tools being made able to know the difference I'd think is unlikely unless they had some browser addon/extension/plugin snooping on your every move in a browser to keep a log to determine it. Edit: Now a browser extension based cleaner like one which I don't remember that name of (sorry) that's available in the Google Chrome store would probably have the best chance to be coded in such a way to tell the difference, since it lives inside the browser as an extension and could always be running with the browser.
  4. While you can use it everywhere the portable version however does not have the capability to store individual settings in ccleaner.ini for different individual computers.
  5. I wasn't trying to recover the securely deleted 1.2 GB file, I was just testing to make sure the freeware drag 'n' drop unsaid secure deletion program I used could actually securely delete a file properly because there are some secure deletion programs that seemingly don't work as intended, i.e. they fail. The testing is what had me wondering why Recuva was stating conflicting and confusing information since I've never experienced it giving results like that before.
  6. Recuva gives conflicting information about a 1.2 GB file I already secure deleted with a different overwriting program. After scanning it states this on the right-hand side in the Comment area: File's data could not be found on the disk After attempting to secure delete the file with one-pass it then states this in the pop-up window: Not overwritten - File is resident in the MFT Also how could it state the 1.2 GB file is resident in the MFT, when Windows Disk Defragmenter states the MFT is the same size as it was before which is 76 MB, and after rebooting it still reads as 76 MB.
  7. Install the software offline, simply disconnect from the Internet and Avast won't be able to be downloaded onto the system. Or switch to using the Portable ZIP build which has no installer.
  8. There was some other tool that could automatically create them from years past that I've forgotten what the name of it is. Other than that there's also ERUNT for automatic daily registry backups, and it's worth using when System Restore will undoubtedly fail to restore from for various reasons.
  9. As of yet there isn't a setting for it. There's another topic about it here started just yesterday: https://forum.piriform.com/topic/51330-add-option-for-traditional-advanced-results-page/
  10. I finally got to see the new cleaning summary on a different computer. While some don't like the new way it displays it doesn't bother me too much, although I can see the point people are making to force it to display in the Advanced View mode they are accustomed to. However the new cleaning summary I can see being very useful to someone like my mother would wouldn't necessarily understand the full advanced summary or file list view, she'd see something way more simplified like it cleaned up 1,100 MB and then close it and turn off her Win10 laptop. I guess feel lucky it still has the ability to show what was actually removed - over the past two decades I've seen my fair share of cleaning programs that have no ability to display anything they've removed.
  11. You can put the winapp2.ini file back in there and do as instructed in the post just above yours, ROCKNROLL is one of the maintainers of winapp2.ini so run that program he posted to reduce the size of your winapp2.ini and see if it helps.
  12. Is that the way it looks in the screenshot from post 1? There were posts about there being a new summary window but I am as of yet to even notice a difference from the old summary window when clicking to view it from within the 'File List View' - but then again I rarely ever looked at the results as a summary window. I've always used the 'File List View', which can be selected in: 'Options -> Advanced' > Show CCleaner results as a file list.
  13. See if what this person discovered and fixed back in 2016 will help in your situation, seems similar from your screenshot: https://forum.piriform.com/topic/46763-a-problem-when-installing-error-opening-file-for-writing/?do=findComment&comment=275147
  14. Interesting. However when sites that display ads still need money it always baffles me they want to go a Fremium or Paid route when they could at least try the donation route first even if for a very short time as a test by placing a Donate button on every page. Although I do understand doing something subscription based for those willing to subscribe is a way the money keeps rolling in without relying upon supporters to remember to donate monthly or however often they intend to.
  15. With YouTube anyone can flag your videos for whatever reason rather it's a copyright infringement or something bogus and the robots will nuke it without any real person looking into it. The Nintendo one would likely get you flagged by Nintendo themselves! From my knowledge Nintendo doesn't allow uploading of videos from their games according to what some other YouTuber's have stated over the years. As for the CCleaner one you're better off to just ask Piriform themselves via their support page. I've seen many video tutorials and reviews about CCleaner before, but they weren't official videos and they didn't in my opinion seem like a form of copyright infringement.
  16. Winapp2.ini was the same size? Is that what you're referring too? If so, move the winapp2.ini file out of the CCleaner folder so that it can't use it, and then start CCleaner and see if it runs any faster. If the large sized winapp2.ini file is the cause you'll need to run the Trim.bat file on it which will remove items from it which aren't needed for your system, it's available in this topic under the title "ADVANCED USAGE AND TRIMMING", you just need to click the title/header to have it expand which will have a download link in it for Trim.bat:
  17. That's a hefty sized winapp2.ini file and is the reason it's taking so long regardless of having modern hardware.
  18. Yes the opa11.bak file. I've personally zipped a copy of it in place just in case I ever try a disk cleaning tool that doesn't know it should be whitelisted, because deleting it will make it necessary to perform an Office repair install. Edit: In Office 2007 (and maybe newer) it's: opa12.bak
  19. According to that documentation link in the above post by Hazelnut it checks every 8 hours. Therefore based upon that and especially if you're using Windows 10 I would make a guess that it perhaps automatically cleaned something along the lines of one of these (just speculative guessing though because it never showed you a Window with what was exactly cleaned, but what's listed below can be huge in size in a little amount of time): * Memory Dump(s). * Windows.old folder (if you have it configured to clean it, note that it can cause serious issues if cleaned with anything other than Disk Cleanup that's built into Windows 10).
  20. Impossible to tell what it deleted if you didn't look at what it displays in the cleaning window summary, since it after all does not have the ability to automatically save a log file of what was removed.

    See here: https://www.ccleaner.com/docs/ccleaner/using-ccleaner/wiping-free-disk-space/
  22. That would probably 100% fix what I mentioned a few posts up located here. That's a definite way to make sure it isn't accidentally left enabled.
  23. If a particular backup program won't save the INI files into a backup you could instead create a .BAT file to copy the files elsewhere such as to another hard disk, or even use a ZIP program to backup the file to elsewhere. Example: copy /v /y "%ProgramFiles%\CCleaner\ccleaner.ini" "E:\Backups\CCleaner Backups"
  24. With CCleaner you have two choices to avoid it: 1. Switch to using the Portable ZIP version available here. 2. Buy a license to use CCleaner Pro, which will avoid the things you don't like in the free version installer.
  25. The premium Chromebook's from various manufacturer's like what you bought are supposed to be very nice.
