  1. I used the CC cleaner to try and completely clean up some

    jpg images, whilst it got rid of most of these files there are still some

    remaining when using RECUVA. Is there anything else I can do

    to completely eliminate these?

    Well thats sounds a bit confusing.

     

    CC doesn't clean anything as such it just deletes them. If you have these images in a specfic folder you can add this folder to the cleaning process in Options/Include. Where are these files? There are different settings to delete these files in Options/Settings.

     

    If some of these jpg's haven't been deleted can you still see them?

     

    Recuva only finds files that have been deleted not files that are still there. ;)

  2. Speccy seems to work fine in 2000 and XP without admin (minus some features), but it doesn't even load in Vista and 7 without admin.

     

    Is this a bug with Speccy, or can Speccy not run without admin on Vista and 7?

    Are you talking about installing or running?

     

    I have WinXP and Vista and they both work at they should do but if I take the exe to work you get the admin message and it shows all values apart from the later version which says Graphics - Access is denied, but the earlier version showed info there. ;)

  3. I ran every scan including MBAM, HiJack This, and Avast, but to no avail.

    But was that a full scan with Malwarebytes? I'm not sure if a quick scan does the registry.

     

    I had this same problem a while ago with any web search engines not just Google. MBAM found the corupt site it in the registry and its been ok ever since. ;)

  4. Yes I just started my laptop up and run my Malwarebytes on my desktop and it updated but it didn't ask for a restart as my WinXP did. I didn't restart XP I just used CC to remove Malwarebytes from startup again, I don't want it in silent mode as Avast always picks up any website with Malware on it.

     

    I see its on FileHippo today. ;)

  5. Hi guys/gals.

     

    I've just updated my Malwarebytes and it said downwloading and installing newer version. 1.44 as gone up to 1.45 so it was released today, I've checked on FileHippo and they still show 1.44.

     

    Update your database and it will download. ;)

  6. for I.E users download the file from here: B)

    Why should IE users have to download yours when MrT downloads amd opens perfectly using IE? I know there have been problems in the past with IE downloads but I haven't had that problem for a while. ;)

  7. I love Speccy, it's a great utility! Can you please add a feature to allow the program to be minized in the task tray and work in the background to continuously monitor the computer's processors for dangerous heat levels,

    Speccy does minimize to the task bar what do you think the minimize button does?

     

    Overheating can be a problem for a laptop. Mine will shutdown if it get too hot. It has a seperate fan switch but it doesn't switch on automatically when it gets too warm. ;)

  8. It's may not meet the purist definition of a 'portable application'; but nonetheless it is portable, you can stick it on a flash drive and run it on any PC.

    No we have had this discussion before marmite you can't put Speccy.exe on a flash drive and run it, it has to be installed and run with admin rights. ;)

  9. I`m almost always sandboxed and yet there are some instances that programs use the internet without you even noticing that,

    Well the best program that I've found for showing all apps that are running apart from Task Manager is Process Explorer 12.0 you can delete any app you want too. ;)

  10. The only point I would make regarding the above advice, is that one of the issues with the first version of Avast 5, was problems installing it over the top of 4.8.

     

    I had that problem, and had to remove 4.8 to get a clean install.

    Yes as Eli says he and I didn't have a problem installing over 4.8. It was automatically uninstall 4.8 as 5 went in. I've done that on a few machine without any problem. ;)

  11. I`m still using Avast 4.8. I understand that as they`ve started the new version: 5

    If you've been using Avast! Home Edition 4.8.1368 before and you registered it then download Avast! Free Antivirus 5.0.377 which is the first version 5 made. Because your 4.8 was registered the registration carries on. After its up and running click on your desktop icon and click on Maintenance and Update. If you click on Update program it will download an install the latest version automatically. If you click on the Settings Spanner in the top right and click on select Automatic on both Engine and Virus Definitions and Program. You can put a tick in the My computer is permanently connected to the Internet box.

     

    Now the best thing that I've found with 5 is when you did a full drive scan with 4.8 if it found a threat is would stop and ask what do you want to do move it, clean it or delete it. This was a bit of a pain as you had to keep going back to see what was happeing. With v5 it records all it finds then you can look at the results list to see what file and location then you select what you want to to do with them. Now the only problem with this is which ever option you select applies to all files which can be a pain if you what to delete some, clean some or ignore some. ;)

  12. I've noticed when I open the new Speccy on my Vista laptop I get an Internet Explorer error

     

    This page is accessing information that is not under its control. This poses a security risk. Do you want to continue? Yes or No which ever I press Speccy still shows as normal.

     

    Oh by the way before you ask, yes I have done a full malware and anti-spyware scan and nothing is picked up. ;)

  13. I would like to see the actual processor speed displayed on the Summary page, not just the "Product String".

    It depends on the processor. My WinXP desktop doesn't show it but my Vista laptop does. You can actually get this from the registry, I do in the apps I make. The ProcessorNameString shows the processor and speed. ;)

     

    Vista:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\System\CentralProcessor\0\ProcessorNameString

  14. For some reason when i download the 1.16.165 version it wont run. I think it has somthing to do with it innately being for a 64-bit and im running a 32-bit... any suggestions? im currently using version 1.15.163 and it works fine sooo help?

    Well I've used Defraggler since 1.11.148 on WinXP 32bit.

     

    System Requirements

    Runs on Microsoft Windows 7, Vista, XP, 2003 and 2000. Including both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.

     

    and its always worked for me. ;)

     

    Where are you downloading it from?

     

    http://www.piriform.com/defraggler/download

     

    or

  15. ... you had better review your work policies about third party applications.

    Just cause its "standalone" it doesn't really circumvent "NO Installing Software" rules.

     

    You don't want to get yourself fired like this guy:

    http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showto...54&hl=fired

    Yes I've read that topic fireryone but where I work some computers can install what they want too and some can't. CCleaner will run a a standalone why can't the other apps? None of them do any particular damage. Defraggler just defrags a particular drive. Recuva just recovers deleted files. What is so sinister about those?

     

    Its actually al fon thats asking about standalone and he hasn't been back since. ;)
