[disabling deletion of AVG logs/scans]

Dear Aethec,

I am a newbie to this great site, and a novice at computers. I am Just wondering if I might ask you to explain what SP2 and SP3 are? I am wondering if I have these and should update as well?

 

I am using windows XP 2003 Home edition and service pack 3

 

If I would need to............where do i go to update a SP2 ?

 

Thanks for all help

Many thanks for ur reply and the 'tips' to update. I took ur advice and updated CCleaner, and will follow thru with the others later on. I cannot find any reference to AVG in the Application tab...would appreciate it if you could specify exactly which one(s) pertain to AVG. Thanks again.

Metalj,

Thanks for the great tips and links!!! Big thumbs up!!

These have helped greatly!

 

Might I ask you to explain.... and if I would want to place a check mark beside any of these below:

 

what is or are: Tray notifications cache?

What is meant by "window size / location cache?

What are "hotfix uninstallers?

What is old prefetch data?

What is menu order cache?

nope. just log files from scans, detections, etc.

 

If you wish to disable AVG log file cleaning just untick it or look at this other topic...

You can also find useful information at docs.piriform.com.

 

Welcome to the forum, btw.

[A question about CCleaner & AVG Plus Firewall]

1. Open this file:

C:\Program Files\CCleaner\winapp.ini

2. Search for:

Grisoft

 

It lists everything CC removes from AVG which is already applied updates, logs, and history.

 

 

 

Hello Andavari,

 

I found this reply of yours when I searched for answers to my very similar question. I seek your help as well, for my similar question............ FYI, I found CCleaner in my programs files but I do not find \winapp.ini Why? and where should I look now to find it?

 

I used search and also tried Run, with the computer reporting back that it finds no such listing..........?

 

I am using Windows XP 2003 Home edition

Thanks in advance and I await your reply.

[Is CCleaner removing my AVG updates?]

I use the latest version of AVG. I just downloaded Ccleaner this month, Oct.2009

When I run Ccleaner, it regularly is reporting AVG listings marked 'AVG Update.'

My questions are:

Is Ccleaner removing my AVG's updates?

should I configure CCleaner to skip anything relating to AVG ?.......but how would I?

 

 

 

Plus: I have a screen print of Ccleaner's findings, ready to post here, if asked for.

 

FYI, I grade my computer skills to be just slightly, above novice.

 

All help appreciated!

 

Thanks
