LEEnoble Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 Just been looking through my startup programs list using CCleaner and I noticed a blank entry, anyone know what its about? I checked in msconfig and its there aswell. Is it safe to remove? CCleaner fan since 2005 picshack.co.uk - free image hosting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarun Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 I had one like that once. Totally safe to delete. You can also remove the ATIPTA and gcasServ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators TwistedMetal Posted May 24, 2005 Moderators Share Posted May 24, 2005 It's rare, but it does happen that you blank entries. I have had 3 of them before, just delete them.

LEEnoble Posted May 24, 2005 Author Share Posted May 24, 2005 Thanks, I'll remove it now. gcasServ is part of the Giant Antispyware that monitors my PC. CCleaner fan since 2005 picshack.co.uk - free image hosting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarun Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 gcasServ is part of the Giant Antispyware that monitors my PC. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, it's for the tray icon that actively monitors the computer. Not really needed if you use Firefox and SpywareBlaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators rridgely Posted May 24, 2005 Moderators Share Posted May 24, 2005 Yeah, it's for the tray icon that actively monitors the computer. Not really needed if you use Firefox and SpywareBlaster. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Should firefox users even use ms antispy? I dont know about the rest of the people here but MSAS hasent ever found anything on my pc. I know it is a good program but if you use ad aware, spybot, and in my case spyware doctor (I dont care what anyone says it is a great program), than MSAS probably wont find anything. Just a thought. Plus since switching to firefox all I get is tracking cookies anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarun Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 SpywareBlaster stops tracking cookies. Even I use MSAS (but not in my tray running all the time). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEEnoble Posted May 24, 2005 Author Share Posted May 24, 2005 I've been using Giant Antispyware since before Microsoft bought them. I don't use SpywareBlaster, I use Giant, Ad-Aware, Spybot & NoAdware3. But I only use Giant to monitor ib the tray.

Even I use MSAS (but not in my tray running all the time). <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I use spyware blaster but I still get one or two. Not like the times two years ago when I would find 50 or more. The First time I used ad aware it found about 750 infections! Now a couple years later and a much nicer pc I have decided to go the anti malware route (its cheaper in the long run ).

growdollars Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Hi, This is my first time here and I have a problem that I hope someone can help me with. I was having problems with Microsoft Anti spyware Beta 1 using 75% of my CPU so I decided to uninstall and was unsuccessful, receiving the following message: Error 1905. module C:\Program Files\Microsoft Antispyware\GCollection.dll failed to unregister. HRESULT -2147220472. Contact your support personnel. My question is; Will CCleaner remove all the files that are left? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjLizard Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 No, CCleaner won't clean it up, but this will unregister the file for you: Start, Run, regsvr32 /u "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Antispyware\GCCollection.dll" (including the quotation marks) Click here if CCleaner Issues are re-appearing DjLizard.net DjLizard.net wiki Dial-a-fix Dial-a-fix tips DjLizard.net software support forum Do you live in Bradenton, Sarasota, Tampa, or St. Petersburg, Florida?

DjLizard Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 That means it was already deleted - I had a sneaking suspicion that's what -2147220472 meant. Is it time to say goodbye to the entire folder? Then do this: Start, Run... cmd /c rmdir /s /q "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Antispyware" Then use CCleaner's issues tab which will safely clean many of its leftover registry entries. An alternate idea is to reinstall the program and then uninstall it again.
