Tip: Run a free scan for common Windows errors ad

re: CClearner Monday, August 16, 2010 at 6:22 pm Posted by Steve (23994 messages posted) Personally  I would not worry about updating it. My copy of ccleaner is probably 10 to 15 versions old. When installing ccleaner on a Computer I will install the latest version, but do not worry about updating to every new version.

The one I have works perfectly, and i use it sometimes without even doing a scan of my PC. I am sure the correct spelling of this program is CCleaner, and not like I wrote it in my post (CClearner).

I downloaded the new version of CCleaner as you suggested. I then ran a Symantec Security free scan. I still found the one "bstore//dssagent.exe" adware infection. I went back and ran my new CClearner hoping to catch and delete the infection, and although CCleaner deleted approximately 2000 files from original of 42, 073 -- the infection-threat is still there.  I again ran anothe scan and the infection is still there. I am directed to download a program named "Adware: Just findit removal tool". I read a bit and became frustrated with the hassle involved.For one adward threat I think I will pass on this one. I am including the link in case you might need it, even though I am sure you are familiar with this too.

CCleaner doesn't delete anything that isn't in the delete options you set normally thats everything in C:\Windows\Temp folder plus Temporary Internet Files and Cookies. Actually I tried to reply to this earlier but there was some bug in my system. Every time I pressed e that would open My Computer and when I pressed l that wanted to log me off. I've done a full virus check and malware scan but that didn't pick anything up. When the computer starts up I get a web page showing some bull, when I checked Task Manager iexplorer.exe is still running also regsvr32.exe which registers dll's and such. I did a system restore for a couple of days and that appeared to fix the keyboard. I checked CCleaner Tools/Startup and there was something running regsvr32.exe along with an obscure dll. I found the dll and deleted it and remove regsvr32.exe from startup, at the moment it appears ok.

Then try Reg Organiser v5 (Excellent!) You need to know what you are doing though.
