CCleaner - Cleaner Applications List (Utilities)

[craigathus]

Hi all

I have noticed that I have 2 listings for 'Avast' under Cleaner > Applications > Utilities

1/ Avast! Antivirus 5

2/ Avast! Antivirus 6

In Tools > Uninstall I have Avast! Antivirus version 7.0.1456.0 listed

Am I missing something here ?

Could this be some type of bug ?

Not a bug, I have this too, and I think it's been mentioned before. It's possibly because there is still an Avast5 folder in the Alwil software program files. Maybe if I had uninstalled 5 before installing 6 it wouldn't be there, maybe not, but it's not a worry.

Thanks Augeas

I'm wondering why version 7 is not in the "Utilities" list for cleaning ?

It could be some registry leftovers too.

Probably an "Alwil", or "Alwil Software" registry key left over. With the amount of changes that go into a major version jump in antivirus software I'd personally never install say a version 7 over a pre-existing version 6, 5, 4, etc., as too much is going to change, etc., and crude up the system with left-overs or possibly cause some sort of conflict.
