Application List isn't correct

CCleaner for Windows
1

I've been using CCleaner for years. So thanks.

I just recently updated to the latest free version and noticed that in my list of Applications, some programs I use all the time are not listed and some that I don't use, are listed. There's even one listed that I don't even have!

For example..... my Applications list contains:

McAfee AntiVirus - I don't have that....I've used Avast for like forever.

Photoshop CS3 - I have it but don't use it as I updated...twice.

Oxygen XML Editor - ????

But I DO have installed and use:

Photoshop CS5 as well as PhotoShop CS (and Bridge for both)

So I know that Photoshop creates some big temp files that are not always removed when the program closes. Do I need to manually check for anything other than what's on the CCleaner list?

if you have, in your case, large temp files that you suspect are not being cleaned by CC, then add them with a custom INCLUDE from within CC.

as to your 'phantom' list of software, that's a fault with lazy programmers not removing all traces of their software during the install process, see if this sheds any light; http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=40781&hl=revo&do=findComment&comment=248140
