Updating the Portable version of CCleaner
Andavari replied to Aelson's topic in CCleaner Help Requests
Unzip all of the contents from the ZIP over what you already have to update it. Doing that will not remove your settings since it doesn't have any settings ("ccleaner.ini") by default. -

CCleaner hangs while cleaning disks [fixed in 5.70]
Andavari replied to Ivan Belov's topic in CCleaner Bug Reporting
I didn't mean to upset you. Although to also help other users who might happen along your topic you'd be surprised at how many people don't know to not do certain potentially damaging tasks on their SSD that they could do previously with a mechanical hard disk disk, such as Defragment, Secure Delete, and Wipe Free Space, etc. -
Along with the invalid/wrong URL I watched a YouTube video yesterday that stated VPN software should be updated immediately whenever there's a new version available because they're supposedly prone to becoming incompatible with Windows 10 after Windows Updates.

I wonder why Hardware Acceleration is becoming an issue again in 2020 in various browsers, that is if that's the cause.

Problem with Firefox 79 [fixed in v5.70]
Andavari replied to circcc's topic in CCleaner Bug Reporting
The thanks should go to APMichael, I merely modified what he had already posted. -

Andavari replied to Ivan Belov's topic in CCleaner Bug Reporting
Thing is SSDs are easy to shorten the life or outright kill if intentionally abused. And drive manufacturers can look at the S.M.A.R.T. data and possibly know if a drive has been abused and in that scenario they don't have to honor the warranty. -
Yeah, they mark it as Severe with this detection: Win32/HostsFileHijack Bunch of bulls**t really, so I just excluded it.

It should be a lesson learned the hard way to start making regular disk image backups.

For anyone using Firefox ESR Portable from PortableApps here's the exclusion (assuming you're also using CCleaner Portable) Example 1: Exclude1=PATH|C:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortableESR\Data\profile\*\|*.sqlite-shm;*.sqlite-wal||0|0|24 Example 2: Exclude1=PATH|P:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortableESR\Data\profile\*\|*.sqlite-shm;*.sqlite-wal||0|0|24 -
Thank you for posting that, been awhile since I updated that cleaning entry. Just cleared up a little over 93MB.

ESET had detected it for years even before other AVs did, and it seems like most versions of CCleaner released will get someone posting about ESET blocking it, however ESET is likely trying to protect their users from accidentally clicking Ok/Yes in a software installer that contains additional 3rd party offers of potentially unwanted software. Your best bet is to use the link Nukecad posted, and bookmark it, so that you can always download the Slim setup file.

If you don't have an actual backup disk image of the drive in question with a disk imaging tool such as Acronis True Image, Macrium Reflect, etc., you're unfortunately probably out-of-luck. The "quick format" that Windows does wouldn't wipe the drive clean, but since DBAN had already ran even for a mere 10 seconds I doubt you'll have much if any success using consumer-grade recovery software be that freeware or paid or Recuva or whatever else.

What version of Win10 with all updates? I.e.; Windows 10 v2004, Windows 10 v1909, or Windows 10 1903.

I've recovered multiple times before from a USB Flash Drive but only with videos, which I seem to keep accidentally deleting with my Sony PS3 (still good as a video player even in 2020 and that's all I use it for). If the USB Flash Drive has corruption, or was accidentally formatted that could lessen your recovery chances. You'll get better results trying to recover immediately and always onto a different drive.

The in-built Win10 tools for snipping is what I started using after my recommendation a few posts up about PicPick Portable, I have less issues using the tools Win10 already has. Although for older systems PicPick Portable is still useful. albeit with a few annoyances.

ESET reports CCleaner as "Potentially unwanted app"
Andavari replied to sotiris's topic in CCleaner Bug Reporting
Windows Defender has some false positive issues lately, for instance it will detect a custom HOSTS file that's clean as a hijack. -
MSIE temp internet files deleted when IE not running
Andavari replied to DonEllis's topic in CCleaner Bug Reporting
Third party antivirus (Avira, etc.,) would use that area to download updates, I don't know if they still do because I haven't bothered installed any of them on my Win10 laptop. Tons of programs in the past at least use that area. -
I wonder if Windows power settings could've put the drive to sleep if the PC was unattended and not in use long enough for that. Even on my laptop I've turned off powering down the drives, and I've disabled USB suspending because it always eventually causes issues with external backup drives.
-
It would be worth also doing some S.M.A.R.T. scans on the drive, then again those Dell utilities you mentioned probably already do that when checking the drive. If I'm remembering correctly from twenty years ago it is or was called the Dell Hard Drive Confidence Utility.
-
Aw you could've played on that a little bit, and said I was a resident A.I. or something to make everyone scratch their heads.

Accidentally deleted entry in Programs to Remove list
Andavari replied to Amzel01's topic in CCleaner Help Requests
Look in the program folder that the cad software is installed into, and if you're very lucky they used a standard installer that will have a .EXE file you can double-click to start the uninstall. They are usually named something like: unins000.exe, uninst.exe, uninstall.exe Edit: The other option is if you by chance had System Restore enabled is to restore a very recent Restore Point which will restore the registry data needed for the Uninstall to work.
