    Probably a silly question but...

    in CCleaner

    Posted

    In addition to krit86lr's always excellent advice, I would like to add some information about cookie cleaning. Under Internet Explorer there is an entry 'Cookies'. If this is checked, CCleaner will delete all your cookies, which may contain saved user names and passwords, e.g. to automatically login to Internet sites.

     

    Before you go and have all your cookies cleaned, go to Options -> Cookies. You will find a very long list of internet sites on the left side. Carefully examine each site and decide if you want to keep login information for this site; if so, move it to the right side.

     

    This is a process that you need to do once; after that, just go ahead and clean away... :)

     

    If you have other browsers beside Internet Explorer, you can find them under the Applications tab, where you can also disable cookie cleaning until you have configured which cookies you want to keep.

     

    Hi pwiller, have you tested all of the above with IE7 Beta? In the past, with IE7 Beta 2, the above didn't work. Although, I haven't bothered to test the cookies issue with Beta 3 yet (I guess I gave up). IF you got it to work, could you tell me and others how? This is been a problem for people for awhile now, thanks. :)

    IE7 Beta is still not ready for prime time. :unsure:

    That is a very inadequite response YoKenny. You are correct that IE7 Beta is not prime time, but CCleaner users still deserve to know the consequences of using the 2 applications together. MrG will fix the problem in the next release of CCleaner, but as of now any user who uses the HotFix Unistaller will be forced to reformat their PC if anything goes wrong.

     

    @Mik 15...I will provide you the proof that you need upon request because it's already posted in 2 other threads.

     

    Why would you want to un-install SP2 and expose your system to the rampant infections on today's malware infested Internet :rolleyes:

     

    Because, if for some reason an End-User needs to do a repair installation...the downloaded SP2 has to be uninstalled prior to doing so.

     

    YoKenny I suggest that you learn a bit more about computers and the Windows OS before providing such uneducated criticim, and/or advice.

     

    EDIT: Before posting advice to n00bs please have proof to backup your words. Thanks.

    .sqm files - live messenger...

    in CCleaner

    Posted

    They're "Service Quality Monitor" data collection timer files created from Windows Live Messenger, and are apparently safe to delete.

     

    I personally would just leave them for the time being though.

     

    Yeah, it's so soon after the release that they could come in handy for now.

    IE 7 Beta 3

    in CCleaner Bug Reporting

    Posted

    I have installed IE7 Beta 3 first uninstalling IE7 Beta 2 (with Andy Manchestera instructions on how to remove IE7 Beta 2) and i have run Ccleaner no problems so far.

     

    Hi joiner. This needs to be CLEAR, because it can be dangerous...e.g., reformatting your pc. Please read the following very carefully.

     

    IF, you tick the box that says "Hotfix Uninstaller" under the Andvanced options you will never be able to remove IE7 Beta 3 from your PC without reformatting. With Beta 2 we could use someone else's Uninstaller folder, as Andy uploaded it for people. But with Beta 3 this cannot be done.

     

    In addition, CCleaner does not know how to handle the cookies, and will clean your IE7 Beta cookies even if you tell it to keep them.

     

    "Please note that this build is intended for technical enthusiasts. Be aware that *I* expect you to be ready, willing and able to reformat your system if things go wrong - therefore, if you come to the groups and say "IE7 killed my machine but I have no backup and can't reformat, I hate Microsoft" you won't be getting much in the way of sympathy from me ;o)

     

    This upgrade to Internet Explorer 7 focuses primarily on bug and compatibility issues and is currently available in English for XP SP2, x64 and Windows Server 2003 SP1 on June 26, 2006. Other languages are to come soon (German, Japanese, Finnish & Arabic).

     

    Uninstallation instructions - these are quite different to what has gone before.

     

    IE7 Beta 3 creates this directory:

     

    C:\WINDOWS\ie7beta3

     

    In that directory is an spuninst folder. Inside that folder is spuninst.exe as well as a very interesting document called spuninst.txt which details exactly what will be deleted and replaced with older copies during uninstall of IE7 Beta 3.

     

    Now, in the past some have offered their own copies of the uninstall directory when others have foolishly deleted their own copies, or third party software has done it for them. But be warned, there is more to removing IE7 Beta 3 than just that directory. A directory called C:\WINDOWS\$hf_mig$ is also edited/created during the installation of IE7 Beta 3, and it is full of various security update folders. The potential for damage if you take somebody else's C:\Windowsie7beta3 and install it on your own system to remove the beta is incalculable. On my system $NtUninstallKB915865$ and $NtUninstallKB904942$ were also created/updated."

    somethings wrong?

    Hello and welcome :)

     

    "Please supply your Operating system Version followed by your computer's specifications, i.e. RAM, CPU, Hard Drive etc. We need to know your computer specs (speed, memory, operating system, etc.) and theres no such thing as too much info here. This is an easy one, often overlooked. Since you're asking people to diagnosis your problem from thousands of miles away, we need this. Imagine calling a car dealer and saying your car wont start and expecting an answer without giving any other information except that it wont start!" Quoted from MG

    IE7 beta 3 released

    I tried IE7 Beta2 and then uninstalled it after two or three days. It is crap. I am now using IE6 again, and don't plan to try any more IE Betas any time soon.

     

    I had the same experience with IE Beta 2, but Beta 3 is much better in my opinion. It isn't better than FF, but it is better than Opera now in my opinion. :)

    Maybe install it again?

    Then try uninstalling.

     

    Nope. Read the release notes. You can't install IE7 Beta over itself.

     

    i am the admin of my computer. as i said i have only got one account on that computer so obviously its the admin acocunt.

     

    maybe ccleaner did remove the uninstall file.

     

    This is only for IE7 Beta 2.

    maybe ccleaner did remove the uninstall file.

     

    CCleaner will only remove the IE7 Uninstaller file if you have the option "Hotfix Uninstallers" ticked under the Advanced Tab.

     

    I have the same problem. Somebody removed the Uninstall file and and frozen right now. I cnad get rid of this IE7 Crap.

     

    Please help

    Major IE 7 Beta Issue

    in CCleaner Bug Reporting

    Posted

    Good advice Andavari. I also PMd MrG and asked him if he could make CCleaner ignore the IE7 Beta 3 Uninstaller in the next release. Mainly because we won't be able to help people when they lose it. I have a feeling that this could snowball quickly.

     

    I really wish that PC users would be more responsible when using beta software. A responsible beta user should backup their whole PC before installation, make a new System Restore Point before installation, and put a copy of the uninstaller on CD, or something of that nature.
