drothman911 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Since my Win7 system received an updated version of CCleaner, I no longer see any issues found when I run the Registry Cleaner. That's a big change from the past when there were always multiple issues found. Colleagues with Win7 systems report the same. Is there an issue here? Haven't seen any internet chatter on the subject.

Just installed V 5.02.5101 (64-bit), same results on Registry scan- no issues detected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators hazelnut Posted January 26, 2015 Moderators Share Posted January 26, 2015 Do the other machines also have Trend Micro on?

drothman911 Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 Unknown. Will ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drothman911 Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 One of the others responded. He's using Avast and Webroot, so the anti-virus package seems less likely to be involved in this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators hazelnut Posted January 26, 2015 Moderators Share Posted January 26, 2015 Are the other machines connected to yours in anyway? Same network etc?

drothman911 Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 We are all members of the same internet forum. Other than that, there is no connection between the machines, different parts of the country, different networks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted January 26, 2015 Moderators Share Posted January 26, 2015 One way to test the registry cleaner is to on purpose make an invalid file extension for CCleaner to find: 1. Create a New Text Document, and name it (without the quotes): Something.findme 2. Manually open Something.findme with Notepad - do NOT double-click on it or it could get registered as a valid file extension and we don't want that. 3. Run CCleaner's registry cleaner, it should find the new invalid file extension .findme and offer to remove it - if it doesn't find it you've perhaps discovered a bug in the registry cleaner.

drothman911 Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 Doing as you say, CCleaner does not report an issue in Registry Cleaner with the file I created with a bogus extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
