CCleaner Registry and Win7 64-Bit

AliceZ · April 13, 2011, 3:49am

Ever since installing the new(est) version of CCleaner on my Win 7 (64-Bit) computer, I have seen so many entries in the Registry scan.

We now have 3.05.1408, but all of these Registry entries began showing with previous version.

Never saw so many with previous versions.

I've been told it would be unadvisable to delete any of the Registry entries found because CCleaner is not "compatible" with Win7 64-Bit and therefore might delete some files that would prevent the Win7 64-Bit from functioning and therefore "ruining" the computer.

I am at a loss as to know what to do. We recently deleted AOL from this computer and that is why there are probalby so many "Invalid Firewall Rules" showing in the scan. Can they be safely deleted? If we uncheck "Obsolete Software," most of the entries go away. But we don't know if we should keep that "Obsolete Software" unchecked. Can someone please help?

(We also notice practically the same thing on our Vista (32-Bit) computer (the Invalid Firewall Rules" at least are showing.)

The latest (Win 7 64-Bit) scan shows the following:

Can any of these be SAFELY deleted?

I've been told it would be unadvisable to delete any of the Registry entries found because CCleaner is not "compatible" with Win7 64-Bit and therefore might delete some files that would prevent the Win7 64-Bit from functioning and therefore "ruining" the computer.

I have a fear that ANY 32 bit cleaner, Piriform or otherwise, it may innocently ruin a 64 bit Windows because Windows tells lies about the contents of System32.

I have discontinued use of the x32 bit flavour of CCleaner now that I have 64 bit Win7.

I have no such fear about using the 64 bit version of CCleaner.

I always inspect and evaluate the analysis before cleaning the registry.

So long as I know a key is not needed I clean it,

otherwise so long as the computer is working well the key will stay.

So far I have never needed nor kept an Unused File Extension.

They appear when I have used PORTABLE Open Office spreadsheets,

and the spreadsheet extension is "unused" because the Application is not installed.

I also see unused .1234 if I have created a file ABCD.1234 - the registry spies on all I do.

Invalid Firewall Rules are a new step in the dark. I am happy to see what it does to other people first.

Did you really delete AOL ?

It is better to uninstall, preferably with RevoUninstall to supplement the cleanup.

If you simply used Windows Explorer to delete the AOL folders then the registry would be left with an awful lot of junk,

e.g.

...C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\aol\acs\AOLDial.exe HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\services\....

I do not have the knowledge or competence to advice you on this,

but for me it raises questions such as whether computer resources are being wasted via services attempting to connect to your old ISP.

Cleaning invalid rules for obsolete AOL may be like removing a cancer, sometimes the patient does not survive.

I used the Control Panel / Add/Remove to uninstall the AOL.

Is there anyone who can tell me if any of the files I listed may be deleted, etc.? Or do I just leave all those Firewall items as there are (showing in Registry scan)?

As I mentioned above: "If we uncheck "Obsolete Software," most of the entries go away. But we don't know if we should keep that "Obsolete Software" unchecked, or whether we should keep it checked and delete all those Firewall files. Can someone please help?"

I am new at this and that is why all the questions!

Just very, very confusing!

Umpteen years ago I had a script I made that would eradicate it off a system, but I won't be sharing it on here.

I understand (from Revo) that their removal program is only functional for 30 days.

Is that correct? And after 30 days we would have to purchase it or another program, etc.?

No. Revo is free.

Revo supply unlimitted FREE, but they also supply a PRO version with more capability at a price after a 30 day trial.

I have always been satisfied with the FREE.

I guess no one can tell us what we should do about all the items being found when we did a Registry scan.

Especially the "Invalid Firewall Rule" ones, as reported in our original posts on this thread.

Does anyone know if anyone from CCleaner reads these posts and whether they are aware of all these files that are being found in the Registry scans, especially on the Win 7 (64-Bit) and Vista (32-Bit).

We really don't know what to do about all the files found and what to do with files that will be found in the future.

It was so easy using the previous versions of CCleaner; now, it is so frightening.

I wonder if anyone can respond to my previous question regarding the "Firewall Eules" exceptions that were found after a Registry Scan with the newest CCleaner on our Win 7 64-bit computer? We've been told that removing any of these files that were found, could cause problems with this Win 7 computer.

You may safely ignore any advice from self appointed experts who say that cleaning the registry will remove vital files from Win 7,

because they do not even understand the difference between a file which lives in a folder and a key that lives in the registry.

There is always a danger on any Windows computer when cleaning the registry,

regardless of 32/64 bits and regardless of the version.

This is why CCleaner includes the option to backup what you choose to remove.

There is NEVER any danger from leaving unmolested any registry keys CCleaner deems to be redundant.

(What about all the mentioned "Invalid firewall rule" files that are showing?)

Nergal · April 29, 2011, 9:15pm

The Reason he asked this question was to answer your invalid firewall question.

He asked specifically about the files mentioned in the Firewall rules.

For all of the ones you said no to, it is ok to remove the corresponding reg entries for (including the invalid firewall ones)

example you stated that you do not have onenote on the drive in that location so it goes to say without a doubt that you do not need a firewall entry, thus it is perfectly advisable to remove

Invalid firewall rule {B16523A4-2023-4662-9D6F-ECD4EFA4055B} - C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office12\ONENOTE.EXE HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\FirewallRules

Same with all of the others that have a no file install and an invalid entry.

Same with all of the others that have a no file install and an invalid entry.

So I can delete all of the 50 (plus) "Invalid Fire Rule" entries that are listed on the Win 7 (64-Bit) and on the Vista (32-Bit)?

Please bear with me, I am new to all of this.

Thank you.

If all of them represent programs you know you no longer have (or never had) then yes remove away (make backups, follow the advice in my signature)

Did I answer your question? Did I give you what you needed? Do you have any response?

Sorry for not getting back to you before.

It is safe to delete Firewall Rules that reference invalid files in your system.

For all the files you said no to go ahead and remove the Firewall Rule.

Thanks

Sorry, but I am a bit confused about your "For all the files you said not to go ahead and remove the Firewall Rule."

I said NO to the folloiwng, but I do not see Invalid Firewall Rule for them. At least I don't think so.

Can these 12 items be removed also. Even the 1st one - "C:\Windows\System32\netproj.exe"? It seems like an important file?

This is all so confusing to us beginners since we don't want to disable our Win 7 (64-Bit) computer by removing a file that might damage the computer. Several people have told us not to delete any Registry entires the NEW CCleaner is reporting.

Hope you understand. Thanks for your help, consideration and patience.
