the last time i've tried adwcleaner, it doesn't detect this you need to open CCleaner > Startup > Windows > search for entry like this if i'm not mistaken,i've removed it using malwarebytes another similar thread in the forum http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=40029&hl=

maybe, blocked by UAC try use task scheduler to run the app

it could be your antivirus or windows search indexing

dang...i forgot to provide the link to the source and yes, it is from http://www.softperfect.com/products/ramdisk/ i thought it is enough to bold the line which will answer the question

oh..i missed post 4

if you go to C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash, there should be FlashInstall.log if you can paste the content here, maybe will help to see what wrong..please use spoiler or you can download this and paste the folder into C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\ this is coming from my laptop and only for 32bit http://www.mediafire.com/download/ulbw2midpacch11/Flash.zip

the problem would be with avast it seem avast self defense protected more than it should if you want to use ccleaner's startup, you need to first disable avast self defense > use ccleaner > re-enable avast self defense it is not advisable to do that incase you forgot to re-enable it back and come back here with another problem with malware so it is at your own risk or you can use msconfig which is safer than disabling avast self defense you can compare ccleaner's startup entries with msconfig to choose which one to disable

@Linguist did you use avast as your security software? did you use any other security software? it might help to find the conflicting software because we already knew avast block ccleaner access to startup entries 64bit only http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=136862.0

try uncheck urlclassifier3.sqlite and test again

maybe just add another section for safe mode entries [AppName*] Section=Safe Mode Detect= Default= FileKey1=

the main quest here is to fix the problem without need to use other software,just CCleaner this is not fix, but a workaround with this workaround, it is better to use IE own cleaner

try @hazelnut recommendation and if not working,try this change CCleaner.exe to something else like Cleaner.exe , just remove the first C then try run it again

did you update your KIS? some user in other forum report that KIS14 without patch really slow down their pc the latest patch would be B..try update to get that patch currently running KIS13 without a problem here what FF version that you running right now?

or run ccleaner in safe mode

dunno if it is outdate or not but you can refer here http://www.piriform.com/docs/defraggler/technical-information/windows-vista-and-volume-shadow-copies

if im not mistaken, by deleting this key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\* you won't be able to uninstall any software because it cannot find uninstaller location

well,if you google,you would find something like this The following Key belongs to Avira 80b8c23c-16e0-4cd8-bbc3-cecec9a78b79. You shouldn't delete this entry.

try delete the file stated here

screenshot missing

if im not mistaken, if you delete prefetch, it will rebuild the next startup no need to delete prefetch because it will auto delete and auto rebuild

defrag not gonna shrink anything its just arrange the file for faster access

latest ccleaner would be v4.05.4250 you can download from piriform website to make sure that you get the real installer i don't think ccleaner installer included google search ads..only option to install google chrome,if im not mistaken you can try install offline

try CheckDiskGUI can't comment much bout this software because i rarely use it.. maybe someone can try it and give a comment bout it http://www.wieldraaijer.nl/others.html
