Can I just add my own personal thanks to Dennis for all the info he's posted in this thread, I've picked up a few things myself (let alone realise I've never actually created a recovery disc with my imaging program!!!)
Cheers Dennis

Few have heard about Flash LSO cookies
But many have heard about it, including the CCleaner developers hence why CCleaner has cleaned flash cookies for some time now

Hi there. I run Windows 7 x64, so I use 32 bit Firefox, and Mozilla's 64-bit version of Firefox, Minefield. I find that, when I run CCleaner, it only cleans the temp files from Firefox. I'd love to see support for both applications. Thanks
That is a beta release isn't it? In which case CCleaner will not support it until an official release.

I don't know why it's not available for XP and before.
Nope, date and size don't show on XP (I don't know whether it's supposed to though I would have thought so)

hi,
I downloaded and scanned my computer with Auslogics
. It is free but not easy! First it found 6543 duplicate files occupying 9 MB, since I am totally new, I went through them all one by one, selected those that I wanted to delete............ It says that I need TO DELETE AN ENTIRE BLOCK. 
Of course, it is not what I want! Just one or two files in each block. So I scanned again this morning, now there are more than 7000 files occupying 1GB. Big blocks!!! It seems crazy.I emailed them, but they didn't reply. Anyone could help me, please? I would be very grateful.
Thanks a lot.
I don't see where you're having a problem. I just downloaded it and tried it and was able to tick individual items and delete them no problem (right click>Delete selected)
6543 duplicate files is a scarily high number though and I would suggest exercising extreme caution with what you delete (dupe file finders are as dangerous, if not more so, than reg cleaners IMO)
Edit: It finds 1559 duplicates (324Mb) on my computer - NONE of which will, or should, be deleted.

One of the reasons I don't use a modified hosts file is I don't like that lack of control over when it's active or not (ie it's always on). Well I've just found this extension and it seems to work a treat, just a click of the status bar icon to switch between host files :
Just to add to my previous post, have just discovered the rather excellent fact that the extensions status bar text changes colour if the hosts file is blocking a page you are trying to load. No more wondering if a page isn't loading because of the hosts file, and if it is just a single click to switch to the original hosts file. I'm really liking this method of hosts file control

Happy birthday

So far, I guess Avast or Malwarebytes are the front-runners to consider.
I think Antivir would be a better choice on such a low spec as it is runs lighter than Avast

thanks!
(i deliberately put the missive in so that anyone that comes across it might know what the process is to recover a drive's contents and to ABSOLUTELY AVOID IE8!!!). and know too that recuva takes up about 50% of your CPU power. he he he: should i just buy a MAC???yes, i go to processes and find that firefox is still running when i have closed it. i will ask mozilla to take a look at this. however, i am not infected--definitely not--anymore. this only happens when i have used CC and want to use it again.
could it be that i should also clean cookies for all 3 browsers? what is the net affect of cleaning the cookies folders out? i don't really like doing it since then i have to put in all the data that the cookie stores, everywhere on the net...
thanks very much!
A few points. The fact you got infected through, you think, IE8 is not IE8's fault. It's far more secure than IE7 and if you were gonna get hit you'd have got hit using either.
Firefox sometimes does continue to run in the processes tab for a little while after closing FF (but should eventually close after 20-30 seconds at most), this can be longer depending on extensions installed or number of extensions installed. If you contact Mozilla they will just suggest you try running FF in FF safe mode to rule out an extension causing the issue which it probably is (you can start FF in safe mode by clicking the Windows start button>All programs and the Firefox safe mode shortcut can be found there).
You really should clean the cookies from all browsers to remove any tracking cookies. You can save the cookies for sites that require a login in CCleaner by going to Options>Cookies and moving the cookies for login sites across to the 'Cookies to keep' side.

No there isn't.

Thanks a million, JD !!!
That was to easy.No probs, I wish all queries on here were too easy
-
In all of the areas for either Cleaning or Registry scanning, could you please, please add ALL & NONE buttons? I frequently only want to Scan, Clean only one thing.
Thanks very much
You can already do that, just right click the individual items and analyse/scan them

Just a point about defragging. I use Ashampoo's Magic Defrag, which works in the background and keeps my hard drives defragged.
I personally think defraggers that constantly run in the background like that are a waste of time and just provide unnecessary wear on the HD
-
No, just temp files, logs, recently used lists etc.So my question is, will the listed applications be removed from my computer
On a computer that's never been cleaned, yes, probably.do I really have that many unused/old/useless files hiding out somewhere?
-
The simplest way is to go to Options>Include and click the "Add folder" button, navigate to and select the folder it will give an inclusion rule like this:
C:\Example\*.*
If you then right click that entry you have just made, select "Manual edit", then simply remove the end bit so it looks like this:
C:\Example
Oh and don't forget to tick the "Custom files and folders" box under the advanced section in the cleaner tab.

Looks good if it's the same thing, but how the hell do you shoot things jumping around like that?
Looks like a bunch of drug crazed kangaroos!

:SwitchHosts: Allows you to manage and switch between multiple hosts file quickly and easily. Of course, the refresh of DNS is executed at once.the Hosts file is audited, security is safe.

Malwarebytes Anti-malware should remove it but you may be best following the instructions HERE and posting in the spyware hell section

There was a lot of slowdown problems reported when IE8 came out. With some users it was creating serious slowdown problems, and with others, it was working fine.
You may come under the first set of users, and the only way to find out would be to roll back to IE7 and see if the problem disappears at all.
IIRC the slowdown issues that were reported were fixed with a hotfix or two so I would suggest visiting Windows Update and making sure you're all up to date before trying removing it.

I'm thinking it's gonna be a bit on the pricey side, although I'm not sure I'm entirely believing the first part:
Toshiba said the TVs will have 10 times the processing power of high-end gaming PCs
and include Wifi and a home entertainment server capable of streaming content at 1080p resolution. Cell TVs will also have a 1 Terabyte hard disk built in so consumers can store music, photos and movies for streaming to other entertainment devices in the home. They will also have an integrated camera to enable people to make video calls, along with the ability to share photos.http://www.computeractive.co.uk/computerac...-tvs-convert-2d

Sorry I should have posted on the CCleaner suggestions category.
Where you'll find it has already been suggested

Just go to "Program files\CCleaner", right click the CClener.exe and create shortcut and put the shortcut wherever you want. Or if that don't work just reinstall it

You didn't happen to run this did you?:

(If so then I, belatedly, now make known my initial thoughts it should probably be removed to save any users having problems and laying the blame with CCleaner)
