winchestermili Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 When I run CCleaner 2.28.1091 it finds 64MB (20 files) of AVG Anti-Virus to be deleted as "Utilities". Is this normal? I have a slow Broadband and wonder if these files need to be found and deleted. Any advice appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kroozer Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Yes, they've probably accumulated over time and are now considered junk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted February 6, 2010 Moderators Share Posted February 6, 2010 It should just be log files and old virus definitions. however if you are worried just uncheck AVG (in the Applications Tab) this is what AVG deletes in CCleaner (each time you see filekey below it refers that what is deleted [AVG Anti-Spyware] ID=2122 LangSecRef=3024 Detect=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Grisoft\AVGAntiSpyware Default=True FileKey1=%ProgramFiles%\Grisoft\AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5|logfile.txt [Grisoft AVG 7.0] ID=2128 LangSecRef=3024 Detect=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Grisoft\Avg7 Default=True FileKey1=%commonappdata%\Grisoft\Avg7Data|*.log FileKey2=%commonappdata%\Grisoft\Avg7Data\upd7bin|*.* FileKey3=%commonappdata%\Grisoft\Avg7Data\$history|*.* FileKey4=%commonappdata%\Grisoft\Avg7Data\avg7upd|*.log FileKey5=%windir%\All Users\Application Data\Grisoft\Avg7Data\upd7bin|*.* FileKey6=%windir%\All Users\Application Data\Grisoft\Avg7Data\avg7upd|$history FileKey7=%windir%\All Users\Application Data\Grisoft\Avg7Data\avg7upd|*.log FileKey8=%windir%\All Users\Application Data\Grisoft\Avg7Data|*.log FileKey9=%windir%\Application Data\AVG7\Log|*.log [AVG AntiVirus 8.0] ID=2141 LangSecRef=3024 Detect=HKLM\SOFTWARE\AVG\Avg8 Default=True FileKey1=%allusersprofile%\Application Data\avg8\Log|*.log FileKey2=%allusersprofile%\Application Data\avg8\scanlogs|*.log FileKey3=%allusersprofile%\Application Data\avg8\Log|*.xml FileKey4=%allusersprofile%\Application Data\avg8\update\backup|*.* FileKey5=%allusersprofile%\Application Data\avg8\Emc\Log|*.log [AVG AntiVirus 9.0] ID=2145 LangSecRef=3024 Detect=HKLM\SOFTWARE\AVG\Avg9 Default=True FileKey1=%allusersprofile%\Application Data\avg9\Log|*.log FileKey2=%allusersprofile%\Application Data\avg9\scanlogs|*.log FileKey3=%allusersprofile%\Application Data\avg9\Log|*.xml FileKey4=%allusersprofile%\Application Data\avg9\update\backup|*.* FileKey5=%allusersprofile%\Application Data\avg9\Emc\Log|*.log ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

winchestermili Posted February 6, 2010 Author Share Posted February 6, 2010 Well done Nergal - Unchecking the "AVG Utilities" in "Applications" seems to have worked fine. The AVG Utilities files were being deleted every time I ran CCleaner. Many thanks for your help. Great Forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishi Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I use AVG as well and CCleaner often deletes 50MB worth of AVG stuff or so but this is mainly AVG logs, records of events in AVG such as when did it start, when did it update, or even scan results and deleting them is just fine, unless you want to keep track of AVGs activities or if there are any viruses found on one of the recent scans. I love computer maintenance tasks. Some of my favorite programs: Wordpad -basic word processing Notepad - temporary clipboard and basic scripting module Windows Media Player 12- video, music and online radio player Windows Media Center - live TV, local FM radio CCleaner- handy computer maintenance tool If something fails to work after using the registry cleaner, use SYSTEM RESTORE.
