  1. Clue: It's something you need allot of auto-correcting strips to use.

     

    Still have one on the indoor porch, can't complain as it taught me how to properly type before I had to take the mandatory typing class during my high school days. That one my mother bought for me way back then cost what an off-the-shelf computer costs nowadays.

    I've actually never used one :huh:

  2. EDIT:

     

    [steam Logs*]

    Section=Games

    Detect=HKCU\Software\Valve\Steam

    FileKey1=%ProgramFiles%\Steam|*.log;*log.last;connection_log_*.txt;*_log.txt;remote_connections.txt;vr*_*.txt|RECURSE

    FileKey2=%ProgramFiles%\Valve\Steam|Steam.log

    FileKey3=%ProgramFiles%\Valve\Steam\SteamLogs|*.log

    FileKey4=%ProgramFiles%\Steam\vr\\runtime\logs|*.*|RECURSE

    FileKey5=%AppData%\SteamVR\Logs|*.*|REMOVESELF

    FileKey6=%LocalAppData%\VirtualStore\Program Files*\Steam|*.log;*log.last;connection_log_*.txt;*_log.txt;remote_connections.txt;vr*_*.txt|RECURSE

    FileKey7=%LocalAppData%\VirtualStore\Program Files*\Valve\Steam|Steam.log

    FileKey8=%LocalAppData%\VirtualStore\Program Files*\Valve\Steam\SteamLogs|*.log

     

    Added FileKey 4.

    You've got a double backslash in your filekey4 ;)

  3. multiple detectfiles need to be numbered

    I thought they did, just presumed I'd got it right when I made the entry originally (whoops :rolleyes: ). I'm not sure the program files detectfiles are even needed as it seems to install by default in appdata now, but left them in for anyone using older versions that installed in the program files folder.

  4. Mozilla's decision to add a search field to the new tab page.. ..followed a similar move by Google in September 2013

    Behind the scenes, Firefox 31 also got a beefed up implementation of Google's "Safe Browsing,"

    Seriously, just change the name to Chromefox and be done with it. Firefox will have no reason to exist soon, unless that is the plan and it's just a gradual merger <_<

  5. A fixed entry (added additional detectfile, original had stopped picking the program up, and modified the filekey to delete exe files only):

    [BitTorrent Updates Cache*]
    LangSecRef=3022
    DetectFile=%AppData%\BitTorrent\BitTorrent.exe
    DetectFile=%ProgramFiles%\BitTorrent\BitTorrent.exe
    DetectFile=%ProgramFiles(x86)%\BitTorrent\BitTorrent.exe
    Default=False
    FileKey1=%appdata%\BitTorrent\Updates|*.exe
    
  6. Sorting the file alphabetically with trim.bat should work again, if you were running into that issue (something about the length of the Steam Installers* entry was breaking it, but I reduced the length with some crafty wildcarding.)

    You fixed that but it broke the forum :P

  7. Then re-name yourself, it's just two words.

    It wasn't a dig, just thought I must've missed an entry somewhere (and giving it that name could cause stupid people other than this one to also go hunting for a Panda entry that doesn't exist ^_^ ). So perhaps "Safe logs" would be better for the winapp2 entry itself :)

  8.  

    New:
     
    Note: This does not delete the process monitor logs or the virus scanning logs.
     
    [Panda Cloud Antivirus (Other Logs)*]
    LangSecRef=3024
    Detect=HKLM\Software\Panda Security
    Default=False
    FileKey1=%CommonAppData%\Panda Security\PSLogs|*.log
    FileKey2=%CommonAppData%\Panda Security\Panda Devices Agent\Logs|*.*
    

     

    Why "Other logs"? There aren't any currently cleaned by CCleaner or winapp2 are there?

  9. A bit too late sicne I posted the long message just above - but how do you do the:

     

    Spoiler

     

    bit please?

    Use bb code so

    text[ /spoiler] (without the space before the forward slash)

  10. If I read correctly submitter doesn't want unused extensions added to the community file, just wanted users to see it, correct?

    I don't understand what he/she is getting at with that entry either, looks like they want us to do an analyse run with that entry and post the findings here so they can be added TO an entry, but not use the original entry. So we shouldn't run it cos it could be dangerous, but he/she wants to add all the potentially dangerous entries to a new entry that we SHOULD run :huh:

  11.  

    1. In Firefox: Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Update (tab):
    Never check for updates (not recommended: security risk)
     
    2. In Windows Services (not sure of the exact service name since I use Firefox Portable which doesn't enable it):
    Set the maintenance service to Disabled

     

    Thanks, I obviously wasn't quite annoyed enough to google the obvious solution lol :rolleyes:

  12. The first of those could be interesting, would be nice to not have the browser freeze cos of a crappily coded webpage. The latter, well they're already trying to pester people into updating. On top of my previous comment about getting so many update nags, this weekend it has been farcical - have twice come back to my laptop to find TWO software update nag boxes open! I must be getting up to ten update nags a day now. Which might as well be saying "Remember that Palemoon browser" <_<

  13. Interesting article on one of the biggest Firefox memory hogs, one that many of us use: EDITED FOR PASTING OF CORRECT LINK https://blog.mozilla.org/nnethercote/2014/05/14/adblock-pluss-effect-on-firefoxs-memory-usage/

    Would I be being overly cynical in questioning the timing of this Mozilla blog post, coming at the same time as Mozilla plan to introduce ads into the browser's own new tab page <_<

     

    Oh and is it just me or are the update nags far more frequent for people not having updated to the crappy FF29? I've delayed updating before and only had the occasional nag, I seem to be getting nagged 2 or 3 times a day with this update.

  14. There's also C:\Drivers folder which contains driver installation files. The folder was created during Lenovo driver install/update, but some other manufacturers might use the same folder.

    Dell also tend to create that folder for unpacking driver files too

  15. You forgot to remove:

     

    [Adobe Media Cache*]

    LangSecRef=3023

    Detect=HKCU\Software\Adobe\Common

    Default=False

    FileKey1=%AppData%\Adobe\Common\Media Cache|*.*|RECURSE

    FileKey2=%AppData%\Adobe\Common\Media Cache Files|*.*|RECURSE

     

    http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=32310&p=248526

    Your reasoning for removing it is that it's part of Premiere Elements? Well both those locations exist on my system and I'm a Photoshop user, have never used or installed Elements, so you might want to rethink merging the media cache entry into the Elements entry.

  16. Oh God! they've made it look like Chrome. :huh:

    Yeah, they've gone from being a leader to a follower in recent times, this just puts the cherry on the top - removing everything that made them popular till they blend into the background as just another browser (along with every other browser also jumping on the Chrome bandwagon) with nothing unique or original about it :unsure:

  17. This might be a dumb question, but how do you find registry keys for steam games? For instance:

     

    [serious Sam 3: BFE Logs*]

    Section=Games

    Detect=HKCU\Software\Valve\Steam\Apps\41070

    DetectFile=%ProgramFiles%\Steam\steamapps\common\Serious Sam 3

    FileKey1=%ProgramFiles%\Steam\steamapps\common\Serious Sam 3\Log|*.*

     

    How do you figure out that this game is Apps\41070? Where do I look to find that out?

    Don't know if this is how the entries makers did it (so feel free to correct me), but a quick search of my drive for the app numbers finds appmanifest files, numbered the same, in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps. These can be opened with notepad and the game name is in those files :)

     

    EDIT: Although far easier lol, just found in each games common folder is a text file titled steam_appid.txt :rolleyes:

  18. It just seems odd to me that there are wildcards for the file system but not for the registry.

    Because wildcards for the registry could be incredibly dangerous, far moreso than regular wildcards.
