Norton Protected Recycled Bin 2006

CCleaner for Windows CCleaner Windows Bug Reporting
1

I found a problem after updating CCleaner version 1.33.382 it corrupted NSW 2006 protected recycle bin.

I tried uninstalling CCleaner and this didn't fix the problem. I then tried uninstalling NSW 2006 and reinstalling it, but this didn't fix the problem. I then reformated my computer and then reinstalled everything except CCleaner. Now everything works correct, but after installing CCleaner the Norton Protected Recycled

Bin is grayed out again. I contacted Norton and they couldn't fix the problem. I haven't had any problems

with CCleaner until after this last update v1.33.382

Thanks

welcome to the CC forums jim :)

an easy temporary fix would be to do a system restore.

start>programs>accessories>system tools>system restore.

have you checked off anything in the advanced section on Ccleaner?

Thanks for the quick reply. I did try check and uncheck everything in the setting window of ccleaner and this

didn't help on this issue. The advanced window of ccleaner I keep everything in default mode.

Thanks

theres 2 tabs, a windows and a applications tab.

go to applications and uncheck nortons.

that should work.

you are talking about the cleaner and not the issues part, right?

Also, as this is related to Nortons protected recycle bin, I would suggest trying unticking the 'Empty Recycle Bin' under the Windows tab of CCleaner (though I have no knowledge of this particular Norton function)

People are still installing Norton software into their computers by free will these days? :huh:

You can always count on Eldmannen to bash Norton/Symantec! :D

Well, you didn't do it, and someone just had todo it! :D

Everybody knows it, nobody says it. :D

You are the master of saying that which would otherwise be unsaid :) !

well on the topic of nortons, what about the one button checkup and the stuff that doesnt necessarily have to run all the time?

ive heard that the only reason ppl dont use it is because its a resource hog.

Oh nono, that is just one of the reasons. Norton products are notorious for being troublesome to uninstall, the uninstaller rarerly works, and you have to goto the Norton website and download an uninstaller utility which does an poor job at uninstalling Norton products. Getting rid of Norton products have been described as more difficult than getting rid of viruses.

Thanks Tony, interesting article. I'd love to know what application he used to evaluate and display the booting process.

Who has a solution for this problem?

What does NOT help:

- checking/unchecking options in ccleaner

- reinstalling norton.

Hint: the solution has to be related to something that is changed in the most recent version(s) of ccleaner, because everything was working perfectly before...

How about uninstalling Norton and never installing it again? :D

Norton brings more trouble than it's worth.

Perfect solution! Others solutions of the same kind (from good to better):

- format your pc

- use mac os

- use linux

- destroy your computer and never use one again

- commit suicide.

I think these solutions are as good as the one you're providing...

If you're on Windows XP you could create a new profile with Admin privileges to see if the same thing is broken in the new profile that hasn't ever been cleaned. If it isn't broken in the new Admin profile it would have something to do with your current user profile and could possibly be narrowed down to something wrong in the registry.

About the only way you're going to discover exactly what's happening is to do some detective work:

  1. Create a System Restore point before cleaning your user profile, while Norton Protected Recycle Bin still works. It also wouldn't hurt to make a known good registry backup with ERUNT in case System Restore fails to restore your system to it's previous state.
  2. Download and install Total Uninstall 2.35 (Last Freeware Version), run a scan with Total Uninstall pretending as if you're installing some software even though you aren't so that it can track the exact system changes.
  3. Use the Total Uninstall option after the preliminary scan to install multiple programs which allows you to exit Total Uninstall yet keep the preliminary scan results.
  4. Run CCleaner and see if Norton Protected Recycle Bin becomes broken, which may require a reboot to determine. Note: Total Uninstall will automatically run after the reboot to determine the changes.
  5. Then looking through the Total Uninstall changes you can look at what possible files and registry keys have been changed or removed.

Sharing your results with the CCleaner developer and Symantec/Norton may fix a potential issue.

Excellent post Andavari, I'll be keeping a copy of that for future reference :)

BTW is that Total Uninstall good for everyday install and uninstall of programs, been meaning to try it out and never got round to it?
