52 ESR should still work for another year
With a possible chance of an extension when they add up the results this summer.

Well it is good you found a use for it. Have you tried Adwcleaner? It is owned by Malwarebytes, but not yet merged with their anti-malware. It found a hidden malware on my system that was causing CMD pop ups all the time and Malwarebytes was missing it.
Anyways, I expect once Windows 7 stops receiving updates, lots of AVs will be shutting down or be bought out by another company, especially the ones using Bit Defender engine as well as MSE and Microsofts malicious software removal tool, because 8/10 have Windows Defender.

It sure would be handy sometimes to have a stand-alone tool.
People like having 1 product that does it all. Spybot use to be a small tool, but now they use the Bit Defender engine. I don't think Super Antispyware will be around much longer either. I don't think people have much need for a stand-alone anti-spyware anymore, let alone having more then 1 AV either. The only tool I can think of that's still stand alone and still being updated that isn't owned by a big time company would be Trojan Hunter, but I heard Malwarebytes has been looking into acquiring them and I even suggested them to acquire it, too.

Goodluck with that. Even Alternativeto isn't popping up with much result (at least none that are still being updated). Most small tools like that have been bought out by big AV companies and have been merged with their programs. You could try Malwarebytes anti-rootkit, but I do not know if they are still updating the stand along program.

We could probably just take out the [Recent Items More*] entry.

I think we can just use 1 detect in Office More now, since it is all them in 1 now. So Detect=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office should work.

What black hole did 53.0.1 disappear down???
It is a re-release to fix a security vulnerability.
-
Firefox recently changed the way nightly builds are delivered. They now release a build every time a commit is done. This actually sped up progress a little because now they can pinpoint where exactly a bug happened, so they don't need the developer build anymore. They can combine them into one now. They will probably stick with the every month release cycle, but we will probably more features in every update now.
On a unrelated note, Firefox 53 now requires Rust compiler. 53 actually runs a lot faster for me then 52 did. I am guessing they are getting really close to officially being done transferring to Rust.

Yes, I been using Kodi for a long time. Like it better then Netflix/prime/hulu/etc. It has unlimited content on it. The content that is in Kodi has nothing to do with Kodi itself, as the developers do not manage it. Yes, there can be illegal stuff in it, but Kodi itself is really good. It is actually a big part of the FOSS world, too.

I made all the corrections and have moved the development build to stable: https://github.com/MoscaDotTo/Winapp2/commits/master
Thank you everyone for helping with overhauling Winapp2.
-
Hadn't we discussed getting rid of the "more" parts of entry names, along with brackets, or was that idea dropped?
You can't have 2 names the same in CCleaner, so "more" must be used if that entry exists in CCleaner already.

Does the 64 bit version behave/work properly with plugins and extensions yet?
Been using Waterfox (which is native 64-bit) for over a year now and never had any issues with plugins or extensions. Many plugins/extensions have been 64-bit long before win64 builds were release because Linux and Mac had 64-bit builds for a long time.

https://github.com/MoscaDotTo/Winapp2/commit/cb4c26da287d6b1ba996b0faf1fbe356a00ca0e5
I did a quick comparing with Winapp1 and everything seemed to be fine. It's a little hard to do since Winapp1 is not very well organized, but from what I could tell, everything seemed alright as is. if there are no issues with the current development build of Winapp2, I will go ahead and consider it stable for the public to use.
-
Can't the requested remove entries for old OSes like Win9x/Me, or whatever be instead taken out of the main winapp2.ini file and put into an legacy one for Win9x/Me systems.
I mean I could move them to the removed entries file, but if none of the cleaners even runs on 9.x/Me, I don't really see much of a point. I suppose it could be possible to run Winapp2 through a batch script on Windows ME, but ME was a very poor OS and was not popular at it's time, I can't imagine many people are still running it.
This is going to sound stupid of me, but I can't seem to find where CCleaner stores the Winapp1 file anymore. It use to be in it's directory in Program Files, but it doesn't seem to be there anymore. Does Piriform not allow anyone to modify Winapp1 anymore?
-
I believe OpenOffice has officially been discontinued and the developers are going to be combining LibreOffice and OpenOffice into one. All the work has moved to LibreOffice. OpenOffice actually suffers from some security holes that the few remaining developers that stayed behind before it discontinued couldn't patch out.
Anyways, I like LibreOffice and I use to use that when I was in school.

Updates: https://github.com/MoscaDotTo/Winapp2/commit/6c19dca3f3257e436977bdc739dec778aa8c7d8b
https://github.com/MoscaDotTo/Winapp2/commit/3d3fb65c537303093f855d68addea48095bdd7e2
This is the last of all the big, major stuff for overhauling Winapp2. I will then look over Winapp1 and compare and remove duplicate entries from Winapp2, then I think if no issues arose, Winapp2 can be considered stable again.

The next update or 2, I should be done with all the major, big stuff. After that, I will compare entries with Winapp and then after that, some through testing should be done to make sure nothing broke in the process.

The next major update will probably come after Sunday (Easter).

Well I have them in my host file for about a month now and nothing has been broken to me, so far.
Anyways, use them if you want, I only wanted to share in case anyone wanted to give a little boost to their networking.

Do we need 2 detects on the Windows Shellbags? The first detect covers the whole Windows registry section, including the ShellNoRoam entry that is in the 2nd detect. Maybe just one or the other is fine.
Opinions needed regarding best free anti-rootkit programs

XPY runs on win10, but doesn't work properly, but also hasn't been updated since 2014. Does that count?
