Hello
I've been using CCleaner for years, but never had a reason to come here before - it's such a good, simple to understand program
However, I've just updated to 1389, and run an analysis, as always when I update, to find that it no longer lists any AVG files for deletion . As AVG is usually the biggest of the items CC cleans for me at shutdown, I hope it will remove what the previous versions did.
As no-one has replied, I've reverted to version 1366
Agree totally. I've been googling this for days, no hits (go figure? are we the only two who have noticed?!) and finally came here. And I see you're not getting any joy here either.
Maybe we are the only two who have noticed!
I've updated CCleaner three days ago for my home desktop (windows XP), Couple computers at work (one is XP the other is Vista) as well as my laptop (Windows 2000) and I noticed that even though AVG is checked CCleaner is not "seeing" the files on any of the Windows XP computers. Fine for the Vista and Windows 2000 though.

We aren't the only ones - I had a ffreind (on XP Pro) check, and she got the same result. Notice this has been moved to the 'Bug report' subforum, so hopefully it means that it may be fixed in the next update.
@All Please tell us what version of AVG you are using.
Currently these are the covered versions of avg and the areas looked for and cleaned

If you need to know what any of that means, follow the Winapp2 link in my signature.
@All Please tell us what version of AVG you are using.
Program name: AVG Anti-virus
Program Version: 10.0.1204
Windows version: XP Home
EDIT
Found the flaw after writting a Winapp2.ini file and saving in the CCleaner folder.

Didn't work but when I changed it to read

it finally worked
AVG 10.0.1204
Thanks for the info Acey United , but I'm not comfortable with changing .ini files - hopefully CC will issue an update. meanwhile I'll stick to the older version.
Wait so is the only change the capital lettersa in the detect key? If so I'll make sure the bug fixers see this. and it should go into the next version
Ah never mind the variable %commonappdata% and %allusersprofile% ok I will let the developers know
The AVG bug hasn't been fixed in 3.04.1408 -so I'm still using 1366.
Any chance it will be fixed in the next update?
Thanks, we'll look into this.
Issue is persisting with 3.05.1408. Still no AVG 10.0 cleanup.
EDIT:

Oops, I just noticed moggy reported this but he posted up "The AVG bug hasn't been fixed in 3.04.1408..." so that threw me a bit.
And I can't readily find a way to delete this posting.
Cheers.
For those of you who use XP and noticed CCleaner is NOT cleaning AVG 10, I made a zip file of winapp2.ini with only settings to clean AVG 10.
Just extract to C:\Program Files\CCleaner (assuming you didn't change where it installed to )
EDITED BY MODERATOR: I'd rather not have Zip files from low post count members, sorry
Here are the contents (I've also taken the liberty to limit it to XP)

Thanks for your effort. I can't speak for moggy but I'm not interested in a winapp2 workaround.
The point is: AVG cleaning worked just fine. Now it doesn't. Period.
That's not a deal breaker when considering it's freeware. I still choose to use CCleaner since it shines. If Piriform ever goes to a paid model, my PayPal account is at the ready.
Besides, AVG has its own resident cleanup tho not as thorough as was CCleaner's (Advanced Tools > Manage > Clean Up).
But really, it would be nice if that bug got fixed. Or if AVG cleanup can no longer be viable effected, then remove it from the selections.
Cheers!

The Point of winapp2.ini is to bridge the time between now and when the devs fix it. There was no reason for you to answer in that manner
Most things added or fixed in ccleaner usually make a path through winapp2.ini (the file not the member ) so...
make yer own bed

Feel free to donate or purchase the priority support version
Sorry for any inconvenience. There is a fix scheduled for next release.
Thanks

It's not an inconvenience. CCleaner rocks. You're welcome!
I didn't know there was a priority support version. Thanks for that link!
