Peaceful Jim Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Hello everyone, Avast now owns Piriform, if I have heard correctly. So it comes as a surprise to me that Ccleaner does not work with the Avast Secure Browser (ASB). Why is this the case? I've tried asking on Tom's Hardware forums and the Avast forums, and they don't know. They directed me here, so I'm hoping I'll have some sort of solid answer. Please note that I know how to clean the ASB manually. The issue is that I want to clean the ASB along with my computer in one go. While I do like the ASB, I will end up switching back to Chrome if this can't be resolved. Kind regards, Jim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue is that I want to clean the ASB along with my computer in one go. I don't know if it should be included as default in CCleaner, not all browsers are, that's a question for the developers. But if you know the locations to clean manually then you could just add those files/folders as an 'Include' in CCleaner. (Options>Include). Any file/folder that you add there will be cleaned when CCleaner is run. A bit more advanced -You might also want to take a look at the 'winapp2.ini' CCleaner addition, that includes many programmes that are not in CCleaner as default. EDIT- Just had a quick look and Avast browsers are included in winapp2.https://forum.piriform.com/topic/32310-winapp2ini-additions/?page=258&tab=comments#comment-287464 *** Out of Beer Error ->->-> Recovering Memory *** Worried about 'Tracking Files'?

I think I'll just go back to chrome. This is all becoming far too much to just get ASB included in Cleaner for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted April 3, 2019 Moderators Share Posted April 3, 2019 That's untrue advice given to a dead thread. Thread closed. 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.
