Cool, gotta fill the form!

[ram cleaning function]

A bit out of CCleaner's area IMO and RAM cleaners usually ain't very useful (except maybe CleanMem).

[RAM]

You probably have 1600 (MT/s) which is = 800MHz.

Which Speccy version are you using?

You could check/confirm your RAM speed from BIOS.

[Problems with Defraggler's Scheduling Manager]

There is also a newer version available (v2.14.706)

[What do you get with CCleaner Professional?]

Also direct support from Piriform.

[CCleaner deleting only a fraction of reported files?]

Have you closed your browser before cleaning? Which browser are you using?

[Speed up cleaning Internet Explorer temp files?]

Which CCleaner version are you using? Do you use Winapp2.ini file?

Do you have SSD or HDD?

[Windows Live Messenger ends March 15th]

I've used it actively probably approx 10 years or so.

[Windows Live Messenger ends March 15th]

R.I.P. Windows Live Messenger. Forced migration to Skype begins today.

 

Actually in here WLM stopped working approx. yesterday morning

Skype chat sucks.

[A weird computer issue - thoughts?]

Well, maybe a Windows reinstall or a new PC is the best (and easiest) option here.

 

Edit. for further testing you could install the HDD into different PC and boot in safemode -> scan with MBAM etc.

Also you could run HDD test on it.

[A weird computer issue - thoughts?]

Could C:\Windows directory be corrupted somehow (or HDD malfunctioning)? Have you tried defragging or running chkdsk? How about sfc/scannow?

Is it laptop or desktop? Which OS?

 

Edit. oh and does it have SSD or HDD?

[McAfee Patents Technology to Detect and Block Pirated Content]

Well, not really. I can check that tomorrow or next week.

[Firefox Extensions REBOOTED]

Thing is there are malicious websites that use a mistyped URL to snag unsuspecting users.

I can handle those.

I've just noticed ABP will automagically correct typos in some URLS (eg. Faacebook.com to Facebook.com)

Shumway

 

https://github.com/mozilla/shumway/

I didn't enable it. It asked if I'd want it enabled some time ago when I mistyped some URL.

[McAfee Patents Technology to Detect and Block Pirated Content]

I'm kind of surprised that McAfee stays in business to be honest. I don't know anyone who runs it, and I rarely hear anything good about it.

Corporations/businesses.

[CCleaner v4.01]

Thanks!

[Winapp2.ini additions]

There's already entry for WLSetup temps:

[Windows Live Setup Temp Files*]
LangSecRef=3022
Detect=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Live
Default=False
FileKey1=%CommonAppData%\Microsoft\WLSetup|*.tmp

[Defraggler v2.14]

Thanks!

[Volbeat- Outlaw Gentleman and Shady Ladies]

Heard them too much (plays on the radio pretty often) and seen a few times live (on festivals).

[Big changes coming for Win 8]

Desktop all the way. Wouldn't even consider replacing it with laptop. Replacing desktop with tablet wouldn't even cross my mind.

[Major slowdown after using CCleaner.]

Secure Deletion / Wipe Free Space settings:

 

File Finder:

 

Drive Wiper:

[Major slowdown after using CCleaner.]

Did you use Secure Deletion or Duplicate File Finder? Do you have SSD or HDD? You could use your PC for a few days + reboots and see if the slowness goes away "by itself".

[CCleaner handling of Microsoft Security Essentials]

Doesn't seem like a ("big") bug IMO. MSE could lock the latest/most recent file or use better location/file type for "settings".

[The Firefox/Mozilla Thread]

Oh okay. Release notes for v20.0.1 https://www.mozilla....1/releasenotes/

I've noticed that since v20 I can't keep just my browsing history; If it's ticked, it'll also rememeber/keep download history (which I don't need to be remembered). :i

Is there some option in about:config to not to keep download history and only the browsing history?

 

Like I said, I don't want my download history to be saved/remembered. I do want my browsing history saved/remembered.

 

anyone object to my furthering this thread by changing the title to "The Firefox/Mozilla Thread"

Nope. Easier to discuss about FF/Palemoon/Waterfox etc.

[The Firefox/Mozilla Thread]

Just checked and Waterfox is still in v18.0.1 (last update January 19).

 

Does anyone know if there's a tweak/fix for my "problem" with browsing history/download history?
