and because the 1809 build is superseded, this thread can be closed.

I thought ADWC was incorporated into MBAM when they acquired it.
in other words, if you run MBAM first, then ADWC should find nothing new.

I haven't done that to TB for a while, but pretty sure it all remains in the current Mozilla profile directory.
but to be sure, to be sure, you could always make a copy of that folder and re-import those emails if it doesn't.

as long as the reviewer is knowledgeable and trustworthy and the rating gets multiple, independent reviews.
would be very prone to misuse however.plus there are already programs in that space specifically designed to detect malware and viruses.

have you tried uninstalling, rebooting and reloading Thunderbird?

that would have scared ya!

what do you mean 'start from registry'?
do you mean just start automatically like other programs do at startup? (and appear in msconfig)also, since you have the Pro license, you are entitled to direct, priority support from Piriform, so raise a support ticket from their website and see if you get faster replies.
as to lack of any replies here, remember the forum is staffed mostly by volunteers who give up their time and advice freely.
lack of feedback usually is due to no-one being able to help you or the one person who can, hasn't logged in and seen this post yet.and of course it can also be no-one gave a damn or understood the issue.

Since the Warner and Smith ball tampering fiasco, I couldn’t care less about the tossers.
switched over to the woman’s game and we rock on the world stage in that.
i wondered why the November 26 post wasn’t delete with at the time???

old post Andy.
reckon the OP got it sorted.
-
no source Andy, certainly nothing I could put my hands on.
more a little memory bell that was ringing. -
no malice was intended Andy.
simply stating that if you had thought of it, I'd have reasoned others would have too.
and yes you are right - someone has to be the first.but in this case, I seem to recall that was actually how it was first done and due to memory constraints and data loss, it went to the method they all now use.

find a PDF document on your PC, right click it, click Open with..., click Choose another app, find your preferred PDF program and tick the box Always use this app

Not really. It's a totally different strategy.
Today:
1. got this file A, it has these chunks fragmented A1 there A2 there and A3 there
2. I've to place these chunks there L1-L3... oh wait it's occupied, gotta free up some space firstall depends on what sort of defrag you are doing and what outcomes you are chasing.
if you simply want File A to be defragged, chunks L1-L3 don't even come into it, DF will simply pick up A1, A2 and A3 and find a spot on the drive where they can all be contiguous.
-
defragging has been around for as long as hard drives have been made.
implemented by many companies offering numerous software packages.
you'd have to assume that far smarter people than us would have already thought of, and rejected, such an obvious process for whatever reason. -
Ah, so [sug] is short for suggestion.
took me a while to get that.
so if I read that right your suggestion boils down to using memory more to allow physical relocation to be used less, is that right?
-
for anyone interested, type this command to test is TRIM of ON; fsutil behavior query DisableDeleteNotify
Disabled means it's ON.and this command from an elevated command prompt to do a TRIM; defrag %systemdrive% /L /V

try uninstalling Speccy, reboot the Pc and reload and reinstall it.
Long shot, but hey.
how old is the PC, what is the OS and CPU?
-
could it be because you are logged on as the current user and Spotify is installed for all users?
also check out running CC as administrator and see if that shows more than the usual crop.

@dave
was Avast and Chrome also removed?
if not, would those offerings not also be flagged as 'malware' by some security software? -
I have to ask the obvious question - why are you defragging your SSD?
due to the physical nature of how SSD's use NAND cell memory and the near-instantaneous access speeds between the memory blocks, there is simply no benefit to gain and a lot of unnecessary I/O to loss when using DF on SSD's.
-
if you took the offered option to backup the registry before removing stuff then restore it using that file and see if everything returns to normal.
put simply THERE IS NO NEED TO CLEAN THE REGISTRY.
official MS word on the matter; https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2563254/microsoft-support-policy-for-the-use-of-registry-cleaning-utilitieswhat you are entrusting CCleaner with is the Dev team keeping up with all the Win10 regular releases - and let's be honest here, this is the team who regularly release buggy code.
-
check it's not the embedded Avast and Chrome offering.
get the portable build of CC and see if Webroot flags that, the portable build does not have any offerings.
if it doesn't, than it's most likely those 'extra features' they push with the normal build.if so, add CC to Webroot's whitelist.

Have they abandoned defraggler due to SSDs becoming more prevalent?
14 months since the last release - that should tell you all you need to know.
SSD Defrag resulted in loss of total size and free space

get and run a program called Wiztree from here; https://antibody-software.com/web/software/software/wiztree-finds-the-files-and-folders-using-the-most-disk-space-on-your-hard-drive/
that'll show you what's using up space on your drive.
due to the technology used with SSD's and the memory and cell management built-in, then factor in the seek times, and there is simply no benefit in running defrags on SSD's.
the Windows 10, system TRIM command is all that is needed and unless you have changed the default setting, that happens every week.
