  1. the last time i've tried adwcleaner, it doesn't detect this

    you need to open CCleaner > Startup > Windows > search for entry like this

    "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Rundll32.exe" "C:\Users\xx\AppData\Local\TBHostSupport\TBHostSupport.dll",DLLRunTBHostSupportPlugin

    rundll32.exe "C:\Users\(mypcsname)~1\AppData\Local\Temp\CT3299568\plugins\TBVerfier.dll"

    if i'm not mistaken,i've removed it using malwarebytes

    Key features of the RAM Disk:
    • Any number of RAM disks. In practice, up to 26 disks due to the number of drive letters available.
    • Any RAM disk size on 64-bit systems. Up to approximately 3.5 GB on 32-bit systems.
    • Persistent RAM disks with an associated on-disk image.
    • Volatile RAM disks whose content disappears on shutdown.
    • Built-in disk image manipulation tools.
    Five very good reasons to use the RAM Disk:
    1. Higher PC performance. Provided you have got a sufficient amount of RAM, using a fast in-memory disk for temporary data will boost the computer performance.
    2. Reduced file system fragmentation. The file system on your hard disks will be far less fragmented as temporary files are never written to the hard disk.
    3. Reduced wear-and-tear of the physical disk. As temporarily files are not written to the hard disk, there will be fewer read/write cycles, which is especially important for prolonging the life of Solid State Drives (SSD) installed in some laptops.
    4. Less junk on the hard disk. Often software applications create temporary files that remain undeleted although no longer needed. The contents of RAM disks is cleared every time the computer is restarted or switched off.
    5. Less noise and heat from the hard disk because the system will use the hard disk less intensively.
  3. 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

  4. [Windows Software InstallSource*]
    LangSecRef=3025
    Detect=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\
    Default=False
    RegKey1=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\*|InstallSource
    

    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

  5. I used another cleaning system to wipe free space, but the task was not completed and there is now very little free space left on the C drive. Rebooting doesn't solve the problem.

     

    I am running Windows 7 Home Premium.

     

    Help please.

    try delete the file stated here

  6. 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
