The free offer is for those who have had the MOVEit breach email from CCleaner - if that includes you then you will get a further email about getiing/installing the offer.

The free offer is not just for anyone who happens to have been pwned in some other, unrelated, breach.

Note that Avast BreachGuard will not prevent you being pwned in a data breach, nothing you can install on your devices could do that.
What it does is check the web to tell you if your details subsequently appear of a list after you have been pwned.
In other words it can only tell you after it's already happened.

 

TBH I don't need something to tell me that,
Data Breaches are a fact of life these days and so I just assume that it has happened to some of my data at sometime, act accordingly, and check havibeenpwned regularly.
You have now checked and found that some of yours has been breached 3 different times now, and no doubt will be again at sometime.

When (not if) you find something of yours has been pwned then you change it or abandon it and move on.
If it's an email address and you can't abandon it, or don't want to, then you be careful about what you recieve there because you know that it has been involved in a breach so some spammer/scammer/con artist may now have got hold of it.

I have been pwned -  3 different sources.  so what do I need to do to get the "free Avast BreachGuard" ??

[System > Temporary files - not working correctly]

My  system variables are :

TEMP=%SystemRoot%\TEMP
TMP=%SystemRoot%\TMP

and my user variables are :

TEMP=%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp
TMP=%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Tmp

There are files in all 4 locations.  When I analyze the subject option - I get only files in 

SYSTEM > TEMP

USER > > TMP

Be great if the other 3 folders were cleaned too please.

CCleaner Portable Free v6.13.10517

The files were not corrupted.

I had set CCleaner to clean FF bookmarks, but now have switched that option off. Would you mind posting the support issue and posting the full URL to the thread here please?

[restore firefox bookmarks once boomkmars backups are cleaned?]

i had CCleaner set to clean:

%AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\i8mpx1mk.default-release\bookmarkbackups"

 

so no backups show under Manage Bookmarks. 

 

I see they are stored in places.sqlite but is it possible to restore the old bookmarks from the current copy of places.sqlite ?

[restore firefox bookmarks once boomkmars backups are cleaned?]

is it possible?

I always run CCleaner just before I run jv16.  That keeps jv16 from finding a lot of unneeded files. 

If it's all the same - I'd still like an entry for the files in the file list please..

[Winapp2.ini additions]

ran jv16 PT and it said the included list of files were safe to delete.  These might be good to add to a jv16PT section?  In any case - I didn't know if someone might write an  entry to take care of these files please?

There's a more recent revision with a substantial number of large changes last posted in July, I'm hoping to find time very soon to finish the remaining work on winapp2ool required to pivot to distributing this version. Apologies for the large delay, midway through this project very many real-life things cropped up which prevented me from working on it for about 2.5 months.

relevant github PR: https://github.com/MoscaDotTo/Winapp2/pull/895

my current local copy (dated 220718 but this isn't accurate) diff vs 220615: https://github.com/MoscaDotTo/Winapp2/files/9786452/diff.txt

diff.txt is best viewed with a monowidth font

v220717 (most recent available on github): https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MoscaDotTo/Winapp2/Branch1/Winapp2.ini

 

if I don't use winapptool and download winapp2.ini directly - do I use https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MoscaDotTo/Winapp2/Branch1/Winapp2.ini or another one?

 

:Master
  copy "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MoscaDotTo/Winapp2/master/Winapp2.ini"              C:\TCMD\WinApp2_Ini\Winapp2_Unix.ini
  copy "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MoscaDotTo/Winapp2/master/Winapp3/Winapp3.ini"      C:\TCMD\WinApp2_Ini\Winapp3_Unix.ini
  goto :keep

:branch
  copy "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MoscaDotTo/Winapp2/MoscaDotTo-patch-1/Winapp2.ini"  C:\TCMD\WinApp2_Ini\Winapp2_Unix.ini
  copy "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MoscaDotTo/Winapp2/master/Winapp3/Winapp3.ini"      C:\TCMD\WinApp2_Ini\Winapp3_Unix.ini
  goto :keep

Or are these correct?

I was hoping to get a little help here with a rule I'm trying to make...

I'm trying to delete these keys while keeping the other two in red.

 

The rule I have is:

FileKey7=%LocalLowAppData%\ABCDEF\folderXYZ|metagameSave.json.*

but that deletes the "metagameSave.json.backup" too, I don't want that, the only way I've found to exclude the backup file is to do:

FileKey7=%LocalLowAppData%\ABCDEF\folderXYZ|metagameSave.json.1;metagameSave.json.2;metagameSave.json.3;metagameSave.json.4;metagameSave.json.5;metagameSave.json.6

etc... which will delete the keys I want while leaving the "backup" one. Is there a simpler way?

 

Thanks for any help & tips in advance. :)

FileKey7=%LocalLowAppData%\ABCDEF\folderXYZ|metagameSave.json.?

will work.......

Is there a way t6o modify this so it doesn't show is MEW exists?  Maybe change the Detect ?

If the entry [Beyond Compare *] appears, then you probably had "Beyond Compare" installed once and it is a leftover after uninstalling. Open "regedit" and delete the "Beyond Compare" key under "HKCU\Software\Scooter Software".
