CCleaner wipes out AVG history


Oregon

Recommended Posts

Each time I run CCleaner, the history of Anti-Virus Grisoft (AVG) is removed. AVG then thinks it hasn't run before and does an initial scan which takes hours. How can I set CCleaner so it does not remove the AVG History?

You can uncheck AVG (or the applications tab)

Here is what is cleaned by ccleaner with the AVG Checkmark (I'm giving you all the version because you don't state what version of AVG you use

[Grisoft AVG 7.0]

you could experiment with the exclude section of the ccleaner options and see which of these cleans is causing the issue, or as I said just uncheck AVG in the applications tab.

 

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.
