[AVG 2012] Important Security Utility not listed in CC after update to latest version 3.11.1541

[Indiana Jones (not)]

My AVG 2012 Utility is not listed in CCleaner v3.11.1541 whereas it was listed and cleaned prior to update to latest version of CC. Malwarebytes is still listed under Utilities but where has AVG listing gone? Tried uninstall CC and then reinstall but no AVG listing under Applications.

O/s is xpHome

Try pressing F5, to refresh CCleaner's listing of programs (on the cleaner tab)

Thanks 4 reply TexShane but F5 did not bring AVG back so its still not listed for cleaning.

 

Other ideas appreciated

[Nergal]

Not sure why texShane thought that F5 would do anything but

 

What was the last version of ccleaner that AVG 2012 showed up in (if any)

 

that latest AVG covered by CCleaner seems to be AVG 10.x (I even rolled ccleaner back a few to see if it had been removed)

is 2012's version AVG 12.x?

 

here is the previously supported cleans for AVG

However I and many other long-term member here think that a Antivirus/Antimalware needs to handle it's own cleaning (I even think some people may have been having trouble with ccleaner borking thier AVG install but I might be wrong about that)

Thanks for reply Nergal - sorry for delay in this reply.

My previous version AVG was 11.x and this was listed under CC Utilities and CCleaned but since AVG auto update to AVG 2012. 0.1809 (latest version) I noticed these files were no longer listed in Utilities and therefore not being cleaned.

 

First thought maybe something not installed correctly - hence - uninstall/reinstall but still not listed - suspected bug so posted here.

 

Wondering why it was previously listed and now not? Also, updated to latest (current) version of CC so unistalled that and reinstalled but still no AVG listing.

 

Agree, all should be responsible for cleaning up stuff but beauty of CC is one broom sweeps all (or most of all) but a big pile of junk left is a problem.

 

Look forward to ideas on how to fix/resolve issue.

Regards.

Member Coffee4Joe has already submitted an AVG 2012 cleaning routine for the winapp2.ini file, see here:

Thanks Andavari for reply and Coffee4Joe link.

 

So, will these AVG2012 updates as set out be included in the next CC update or do I copy/paste the lot from there into where exactly and how,now?

Regards.

[Andavari]

If you don't already use the winapp2.ini file here's the instructions:

1. Copy the AVG 2012 cleaner by Coffee4Joe into Notepad.

2. Save as (including the quotes so Notepad doesn't save it as a text document) into the folder where ccleaner.exe is located: "winapp2.ini"

3. Start CCleaner and it should be able to clean AVG 2012.

 

CCleaner will probably have an updated AVG 2012 cleaner included in it by default, but when I don't know. In the meantime the cleaner by Coffee4Joe should suffice.

[Indiana Jones (not)]

Worked first time! Easy. And then AVG went and auto-updated the 2012 program - but its was ok as the fix worked after the update.

 

I was not familiar using "winapp2.ini" (or any *.ini file) so that was a first for me.

 

Thanks you guys (Andavari,Nergal,TexShane and Coffee4Joe) for prompt replies and sorting out for me.

 

AVG bit ahead issuing 2012 while we still in 2011 but it's a great tool and so is CC. Have NEVER had any problem using CC - so this event was a surprise for me.

 

Also appreciated the (reminder) Advice posted at the end of Nergal post. That was thoughtfull.
