Drive C: says Disk Health: ERROR. Any suggestions?
You could run check disk.
Start > My Computer > Right click on C drive and select properties > Tools, Error-checking, Check Now > Automatically fix file system errors > Start > Schedule disk check > Reboot.

Hi Cleaner1, and welcome to the forum.
1) Cancel the cleaning.
2) Clear the box for Wipe Free Space.
Cleaner > Windows > Advanced > Wipe Free Space.
3) Run the Cleaner again.
If your new to CCleaner, reading the information in the link below would be beneficial.
You'll also find many here on the forum willing to lend a hand.

Each section already has a right click menu.
For example, right click on Internet Explorer, Windows Explorer, etc....
You are given five choices.
1) Check all
2) Uncheck all
3) Analyze
4) Clean
5) Restore to default state
This works for the Windows and Applications tabs as well.
If you hover your mouse over the tab name, you can change all sections within the tab at once.
If check all is used, you should read each warning as they pop up.
I would use these options with caution!
The Registry Cleaner section doesn't have the analyze or clean options.

After the most recent Windows updates, I rebooted then noticed that Trustedinstaller.exe was using 50% CPU for 10 minutes. This happened before so I looked up the process and found that this is common. TrustedInstaller.exe checks for updates and is supposedly responsible for installing some critical updates. So, I just go on over to the kitchen and get a snack while the process finishes its job. Depending on the systems specs., it could be as much as 100% CPU usage and render the system unusable.

Can do that! I can even drag myself to the Pi**er, hold on to the Sink Cabinet, pull myself to Pot! How about that? Hopefully this is not going to last to long. Had this problem many times in the last years. Something the Military gave me!
That's what I call toughing it out Mudd. Thank you sir for your service in the Military and may you have a speedy recovery.

Now, if one of you would suggest how I can get my legs to work again.................! The Doctors are working on it. But, suggestions are welcome!
If your able to lift your legs so someone else can vacuum under them, your doing OK.

Best wishes for the holidays all, and may they be filled with warm moments and cherished memories.

Matt Russo aka 'SpySentinel' has passed away. I didn't have the pleasure of knowing Matt personally, but I do know his presence will be missed on many forums.

My heartfelt condolences go out to his loved ones.

You could also try shift+delete to bypass the recycle bin. (Use with caution)
-
Did you try using unlocker to delete, rename then delete, or move file to desktop then drag or delete file to recycle bin?
-
Unlocker, linked here by Jamin, is what I used to delete the folder when Allen2007's method didn't work. Deleted the folder in pieces -- with a slow processor it took hours, and patience.
I noticed the download size is different at File Hippo than it is at the authors site.
They also offer different versions. Here's a link for the download.
Watch for Toolbar and desktop shortcuts during install.

You could try Unlocker to delete the file.
If no locking handles are found, using unlocker try to delete, rename then delete, or move file to desktop then drag or delete file to recycle bin.
Use this program with caution, and watch for Toolbar and desktop shortcuts during install.

Control a robot by giving it commands. Use programmer-style logic for more complex levels that include functions to re-use.

Hi karlsnooks, and welcome to the forum.
"Wipe Free Space" will leave your normal files intact and only wipe the free space on the drive selected.
"Wipe Entire Drive" will erase all of the files on the drive selected. For safety reasons, this feature is disabled for the boot drive.
Take a look at this for more info.

Hi sophie,
Since Hazel established that you're running as an administrator, you could try importing the .reg file.
Before editing the registry in any way, I highly recommend the backup program Erunt.
To import a .reg file...Start > run > regedit > file > import > browse to .reg file and highlight it then select open.
This should merge the file, if not you may have a file association problem.
You can find the fix here. Download the REG file association fix.

I feel outside the circle here, but I just updated to version 5 with the programs updater.
Went fine and it seems to be running OK including the unwanted service SASCORE.EXE.
Seems strange that the new version scans memory, the registry and files simultaneously.

Yep. I recently figured that out too. And as Andavari mentioned, with StartPage, the WOT icons appear all the time. So that feature, plus being able to save my settings via a URL, have caused me to give StartPage a try.
If you set DuckDuckGo to show "All WOT + favicons (both)", the WOT icons appear all the time. Trust, caution or warning for each result respectively.
-
I'm actually liking Starting Page a bit more, simply for the fact is WOT shows up the little safe/unsafe icons all the time versus what it shows on DuckDuckGo.
cc1I figured it out. There is a setting that shows the WOT rating for listings appearing in DuckDuckgo searches.
This got me looking at the settings and decided I wanted to change a few. I like that you can save your settings without a cookie for both DuckDuckGo and starting page. They both will generate a URL that you can save as a favorite or set as your home page.
-
Thanks Hazel, I've added this to my list of search engines.
That's one clever duck, or in other words a wise quacker.
A few facts about the founder.
I also like the starting page, thanks to you as well Corona.

CCleaner should be cleaning it. Are you closing IE before you run Auto/Shutdown?
yes i am.
wow. just got the notice of your reply. 2 day!
Do you want anymore help with CCleaner on your Vista system?

Thanks again for the input gang. I'm going to give MSE a try when I get some more RAM. Coming soon!
-
I think MSE is really meant for 64bit systems. I mean systems with 6 to 8 gigs of ram, they could almost, almost, almost handle Norton or AVG!
XP 64bit, I bet MSE would work well in that.
That's funny Corona.
I believe MSE is available for Windows XP (32-bit only).
Vista and Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit).
It seems that XP is being left behind more and more.
-
Thanks for the replies all. I haven't heard from anyone running MSE on XP so I've been hesitant to try it.
Andavari, do you use Antivir 10 and if so does it still start a full system scan if realtime finds a virus?
I'm a fan of version 9 and I'm willing to try 10 on my XP box if I can get some positive feedback here.

Does Microsoft Security Essentials have the same effectiveness on XP as Vista and Windows 7?
I read that it did better on the newer operating systems.
