Moderators Andavari Posted June 22, 2012 Moderators Share Posted June 22, 2012 Required System Info: * OS: Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP3 * Microsoft Security Essentials v4.0.1526.0 * CCleaner v3.19.1721 The Problem: CCleaner's registry cleaner detects Microsoft Security Essentials' Telemetry folder as invalid registry data. Now rather that folder exists or not on the filesystem isn't really the point because CCleaner shouldn't mess with an installed antivirus' registry settings. The problem with excluding it is CCleaner will only give a very basic exclusion of everything where it's located "Installer\Folders": HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\Folders So essentially it can't be properly singled out as an exclusion, it's all or nothing with "Installer\Folders". Here's what CCleaners right-click export reveals in registry.txt: registry.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted June 22, 2012 Author Moderators Share Posted June 22, 2012 Basically I need an exclude like this, but CCleaner doesn't recognise it (so now this is also an exclude feature request to make excluding items easier, more customizable, and more robust!!!): Exclude51=REG|HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\Folders|C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Microsoft Antimalware\Telemetry\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
