Moderators Andavari Posted June 26, 2013 Moderators Share Posted June 26, 2013 Did today's CCleaner update. They may have removed MS Security Essentials, what it is messing it up again.! Find out for sure that you're actually using the newest version! You can find this out by opening CCleaner and looking at the upper-left. If it reads as v4.03.4151 then you're up-to-date and it shouldn't be possible for it to clean anything related to Microsoft Security Essentials anymore since both cleaners for it were completely removed starting with v4.03.4151.

Blaxer007 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Just like in the past. Downloaded current update. Restarted computer. MSSE keeps reading orange, 'potentially unprotected'. Have to do a full scan to get it green. CCleaner no longer has this in the settings to UNcheck so this doesn't happen like it used to. Happens every time I restart, etc. Please give more info on what is happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan_B Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 It may be due to corruption of Registry Keys - Windows does that sort of thing. Try a total uninstall and a fresh full install, OR Try the Portable version of CCleaner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blaxer007 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Yes, that is the version I have. And that is when the problem with MSSE started (again). Find out for sure that you're actually using the newest version! You can find this out by opening CCleaner and looking at the upper-left. If it reads as v4.03.4151 then you're up-to-date and it shouldn't be possible for it to clean anything related to Microsoft Security Essentials anymore since both cleaners for it were completely removed starting with v4.03.4151.

2nd base Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I actually liked having the means to use ccleaner to remove some of those logs and scans. This sounds like one of those requests you read about over in the avast! threads. You need to know what your av is doing and have the means to clean it up. It didn't hurt anything having the mse option. All you have to do is update and scan and the warnings go away. Another great example of the old he who sacrifices liberty for safety will have neither gag brought courtesy of the fear mongering and then because of this those of us who find it useful are at their mercy.

Robin Smith Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Previously there used to be a Microsoft Anti Malware box to uncheck under Utilities on the Applications tab. For me this has disappeared; so my MSE history gets deleted. Having read this thread, I have tried to manually exclude the folders: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Microsoft Antimalware\Scans\History\Results\Quick and C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Microsoft Antimalware\Scans\History\Results\System However, Browse button in the dialog window in CCleaner doesn't let me get beyond: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users It simply does not 'see' the Application Data folder and below. (I have looked around for a 'Show Hidden Files/Folders' type option without success.) Would be grateful for advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan_B Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 What is your operating system ? C:\Documents and Settings\ is NOT a folder but a junction on Windows 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted July 31, 2013 Moderators Share Posted July 31, 2013 I have looked around for a 'Show Hidden Files/Folders' type option without success http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Show-hidden-files ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

Robin Smith Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Subsequently found Application Data folder was 'hidden' so 'unhid' it and its subfolders in Windows Explorer, and this allowed me to add ~\Quick and ~\System to CCleaner's exclusions manually. Problem solved - I hope! Thanks to Alan_B and Nergal for responses. (Operating system is Windows XP - I know I'm a dinosaur.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
