Just a question @Mechanickrick
How do you know it's a registry issue ?
When I looked into this error I get only "There isn't enough memory available to create a ramdisk device" posts.....

Since we are getting mixed opinions on this, maybe a better solution would be to make Winapp2ool pick out all the entries with RECURSE and REMOVESELF and then have a way for the user to switch them. This way, if a user doesn't feel a entry with REMOVESELF is safe, they can use the tool and switch it to RECURSE and switch RECURSE to REMOVESELF if they don't want a pile up of empty folders.
Do not get me wrong Winapp2ool has the potential to be a great tool.
But (like in all cases there is a but) let the developer get a sold base line of functions out before asking a lot of functions from the get go.Some functions within the tool as of now is "nice to have" in my opinion. Could have left it for later versions of the application.
Allso does not help the developer is rushing things and have to release a new "bug free" version every couple of hours due to something that broke while adding new function.
Baby steps.....

Only when I try to open CC Cleaner.
You are trying to run CCleaner from the icon/shortcut on your desktop
Navigate to the installed directory,
double click on CCleaner.exe (CCleaner64.exe if x64 OS)
If UAC shows up click on YES.
If this works then your icon/shortcut on your desktop is corrupted. -

Program folders are not junk. We cannot remove program folders on the basis that they will get re-created on demand. Removing program folders do not break programs is not an acceptable argument.
Here is my 2 cents about this pointless discussion (just my opinion).
How long has winapp2 been out in the wild ?
How many users are using it ?
I am no smart man but I am 100% sure a lot of people/developers using winapp2 or a spinoff of it would have complained IF an entry using REMOVESELF "break" their software.
I for one, am not fond of seeing empty folders on my systems. Using REMOVESELF makes my life a bit more ordered.
Besides, who runs CCleaner anyway with software running (Excluding AVs and active malware software) ? -
Hi Guys and Girls.
With all this in Browser mining this dude is fighting an uphill battle. Atleast he is trying.
There is also an Adblock subscription for this one.
Another subscription from Adblock in host file format MalwareDomainList

Is there a separate collection of language file entries for winapp2?
No there is not .
Problem with that is this is a public forum and someone not paying extra close attention could copy those entries and have undesired results, such as with lang removal entries that could wipe out their needed non-English lang for a software.
I second this.
Yes, I know I posted entries to nuke non-English language files and I am sure that some people out there did not read the warnings and their native language was nuked and did not know what to do.
-
Understood,
But it got placed in the last update Post 6403 above. 
Well find it strange that it did as some people do know that Section=Language Files (Custom Section) should never be added to the public Winapp2.ini.....
-
Remove entries [Malwarebytes Lng*] and [Revo Uninstaller Pro Lng*]
I do not recommend that these two language cleaners be added to the public Winapp2.ini. There are totally user dependent based on a user's location. Users of Winapp2.ini could inadvertently remove their user profile language for these two programs. We have never included language files in the past. This type of file should be maintained in custom.ini by individual users of CCleaner.
Never said it should be included in the Winapp2.ini
That why I added the following in the original post
"NOTE: This is not an every day use and should be used at own risk."
"Warning=This will delete all language files excluding the en_GB and en_US language files."

I am currently more angry with my antivirus software, than Piriform, who were the victim after all.ESET, Karspersky, Avira, Malwarebytes and others, were not able to detect the unusual behavior of the program, so why are they supposed to exist ?.If Piriform had not made it public, the big companies of "security" do not know.
The problem with most Antivirus software and Malware software is IF they do not know about it then how can they protect you ?
ESET detected the issue link
-
I also nuke the non-English lang files.
As for a Detect I use only this (on old XP 32-bit):
Detect=HKCU\Software\Malwarebytes
Interesting will look into that Detect.
Thanks Andavari.
EDIT:
Weird, after a clean, clean install of v3.2.2.2029 it does create that detect now. (Windows7 x64)
Will use that from now on.

Hey there Hazel,
Have not been on so long lost what was posted and what not
My bad.
Wonder how some AVs after this time still not get hits on this file.
-
Hey guys/girls.
Just something I use.
NOTE: This is not an every day use and should be used at own risk.
[Malwarebytes (Lng)*] Section=Language Files Detect=HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\SafeBoot\Minimal\MBAMService Default=False Warning=This will delete all language files excluding the en_GB and en_US language files.

For some reason I cannot find a better Detect for Malwarebytes version 3.1.2 and newer.[Revo Uninstaller Pro (Lng)*] Section=Language Files Detect=HKCU\Software\VS Revo Group\Revo Uninstaller Pro Default=False Warning=This will delete all language files excluding English. FileKey1=%ProgramFiles%\VS Revo Group\Revo Uninstaller Pro\lang|*.ini ExcludeKey1=FILE|%ProgramFiles%\VS Revo Group\Revo Uninstaller Pro\lang\english.ini

Ok, I don't think its a False positive, check this out
I have very important questions :
1- are the newer version apart from the one in the link are also infected?
2- I bought the pro version, are the update server are the same?
I'm hoping for a fast response because I've already told all my customers to immediately remove the program!
please advise!
Just do a AV scan and Malware scan
Read this as well.
-
So is updating to the new version enough to remove the problem, or do I need to do what people are suggesting and reinstall windows completely? it seems a bit over the top to reinstall windows, but I'll do it if necessary. thanks.
Just get a better Antivirus and scan your PC/Laptop with Malwarebytes.
But this time most AVs should detect the issue
For more info read this link

Well this was an intresting read.
".....between August 15 and September 12 was modified to include the Floxif malware...."

I suggest making this option also apply to items deleted with CCleaner's cleaning function.
So you are stating that if one normally uses CCleaner the files being cleaned must be permanently removed as "Secure File Delete" does ?
If so, don’t you think that this may case a lot of problems for the average normal user that by accidently cleaned files that should not have been removed?
"Secure File Delete" functionality is there for a reason and the normal cleaning functionality as well.
-
I think that people must get their terminology correct.
Anti-virus and malware applications classify the bundled toolbar within the NORMAL installer as PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program) or provide a warning of potentially unsafe not as Malware.
If your Anti-virus does not indicate anything it can mean one of two things.
1) they do not see the toolbar as a problem
2) they are not aware of the toolbar (how it works and so on)
If the Anti-virus does hit the toolbar it can mean
1) they are aware of something we as users are not dues providing a warning
2) they still provide you the user the option to remove it or keep it. (that is what my ESET-NOD32 does, but I use the SLIM installer all the time)
(note the file name: ccsetup516.exe)

true, I guess my point was referring more to the fact the 45nm processor is the newer architecture, so on that basis, I would think it the better gear with all other things being equal.
but I'm not that much of a geek to have any in-depth knowledge.
I am in the same boat as you with the in-depth knowledge aspect
.ive read that the Core 2 Duo has an new improved and more efficient architecture.
the Pentium Dual Core in opposit is based on the Pentium 4...
i have used speccy
core 2 duo have 33°C (with reduced corespeed 1200 mhz per core --> 6x200)
pentium dual core have 42°C (with reduced corespeed of 1200 mhz per core --> 6x200)
33°C and 42°C is not that bad if you think about it. CPUs can handle a lot more than that.
My current CPU (i7-3770 22nm) was running at 70°C for a while after gaming for a weekend none stop on a stock standard Intel cooler. She was fine but I just changed my CPU cooler to a Cooler master 212x and now she is running in between 33°C - 45°C. Depending what I am doing with her.
The new Intel is 14nm if not mistaken and that did make a massive improvement on power consumption and speed.
If I have to choose between 45nm and 65nm I will go with the 45nm purely due to power usage as more power a thing use the hotter it will get. Anything else is a bonus.

@Hazel, I bet you are fun at IT parties ??
. Interesting link you provided there thanks.I use HTTPS Everywhere in Firefox, it quietly sits there doing its thing, has never bothered me and I've not noticed any sites not working.
I noted that it does slow down some sites that I used once or twice in the past, but the fact that it works makes it worth that couple of seconds wait.
-
they are so similar, I'd be happy with a coin flip result to decide.
E5200; http://ark.intel.com/products/37212/Intel-Pentium-Processor-E5200-2M-Cache-2_50-GHz-800-MHz-FSB
E4400; http://ark.intel.com/products/29753/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-E4400-2M-Cache-2_00-GHz-800-MHz-FSB
for me the E5200 has a 45nm die compared to 65nm for the E4400, so the E5200 is the 'newer' architecture so would have a slight speed benefit you'd think.
Does the architecture not mostly have to do with power consumption rather than speed ?

Hi guys and yes girls as well,
Was reading a wonderful topic about an online school registration system that asked a lot of personal information.
The kicker was that they did not use ANY security on the site, only after a security consultant picked it up and informed the public not to use the website service the developers implemented TLS [Transport Layer Security].
In the post they had this website where one can test the security of a website.To the point,
Do you trust SSL or TLS on a site ?As I am of nature not to trust any site period. Not even my bank online.
Side note: Does anyone use the plugin HTTPS Everywhere ?

Well here is mine.
Man my wife is messy

For the love of all things good in this world and universe .....
This is staring to become a stereo type of a topic "CCleaner is installing malware.........................."
Lets face it, people do not read, and their short term memory does not develop into long term storage what so ever.
Most people only create an account and post ONE thing.
That one thing is to complain on a topic that has been dead for a while, resurrected, DIED and guess what, brought back alive, again. A real Lazarus effect they are having here.
I am going to say something knowingly it may cause a problem or two.
Do you people read ?
and yes I am referring to you ticomilitar, LadyDaisy.

Hi,
First things first.
Go in to your BIOS and see if your system still sees the the boot hard drives. The one that your OS was installed on if you have more than one drive.
If your system still sees the hard drive, one can just boot up from the OS disk and run a repair. This should resolve the problem. This will not affect any of your personal files.
IF your system does not see the hard drive, remove it and try to install it into another PC and see if that system sees the drive.
But it got placed in the last update Post 6403 above.

. Interesting link you provided there thanks.
Blocking of advertisements
in The Lounge
Posted
So I was sitting here and thinking,
Where/how do you guys block ads ?
Lets lists the options
1) Using a Brower addon (Adblock plus, Adblock, uBlock enc) including subscription
2) Using the host file
3) Using the router (if so what router do you have)
4) Using a 3rd party DNS servers (OpenDNS, Norton ConnectSafe enc)
5) Using DNS tools like (Pi-hole, pfsense), in a way the same as option 4
6) Combination of listed
I use a combination of Brower addon with subscription and the Host file.
Thinking of moving all to the Router itself so doing no need for me to update the Host file every now and then and having the benefit of blocking network/device wide and not just per PC/Laptop.
Note:
This is an advice only thread,
Please do not post links to the host file, browser subscriptions or tools here.
Think that was covers a couple of times in the past.
