cleaning windows rigstry and temporary internet files

Hi guys * today im bought a new Professional edition ccleaner and it offer to a registry clean then advise you that while I have a bad history with Advanced systemcare?

Bad purchase.  Do NOT use Ccleaner.  It is likely to cause more problems.  In fact, don't NOT virtue but dire circumstances even mess with the registry.  It's simply too risky.

The software that promises to make your computer run better is more often than not more a threat than a help.  Leave your computer alone.  Windows will look after itself fairly well.  It is highly unlikely that all of your efforts to make it work better will never produce a meaningful result.

Windows 7 has a lot of what he needs to take care of your system.  You need a product high quality Antivirus and nothing else at all claiming to make your computer safe or more safe.

There is no doubt that the best and the most effective protection is your good judgment.  Well, think about where you go on the web and think thrice before you ever click on a download button.  Almost anything free will carry with it a lot of unwanted software are more likely to be malicious.

There is AN anti-malware product that I do not recommend.  It's ADWcleaner https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/1-adwcleaner/

It's a free scanner that you download and run occasionally.  It is not an all-the-moment program execution.

Choose your antivirus product with care and know about them:

Now, this is a controversial subject, but your choice of AV software may be something you want to take a 2nd look.  I suggest you visit this website to get an idea of what AV software made the best work, depending on what type of user you are: http://www.av-comparatives.org/ is a non-profit that has been around for a long time and I hope that their results.

When you interpret these results, remember the difference between a product that detects 95% and the other 99% of infections, it is actually 5 times more likely to allow an infection.

I care about 140 Windows PCs and I have more than 13 years.  Until last September, the only AV software that I would allow my clients to use was Norton Antivirus.  Note that this is not the same as any other product, Norton 360 or Internet Security.

Last September, Symantec (Norton owner) decided to no longer sell such a product.  After much research, I decided on Bitdefender Antivirus 2015 +.  I installed it on more than half of these PC so far and has never been a problem.  In fact, I think it's a better product than even Norton.  One of the things I love the most about it, is the silence and discretion.  It is also cheap.

My customers know that if they install any product of 'Internet Security', I won't work on their computers until it is deleted.  Very well, I learned the hard way that the other components of these products (other than the AV itself) IS caused more problems than any profit that they bring and work primarily by stopping the Windows component that does a very good job of this particular task still.  My problem is that when I started to work on a computer with an IS on it, I could spend hours trying to diagnose the problem, only to find out that by taking the product of the IS, the problems have become much clearer and easier to solve.  I think that the product of the IS actually hides the problem.

As I said.  It is a controversial topic and you will find many different very strong opinions.  I know that mine is based on a fairly large sample over a long period, and are consumers of consumer type Windows.

Another thing you need to know: you can delete not entirely of most any AV software simply by using the standard uninstallation tool Windows 7.  Most of the majors also publishes a "removal tool" that gets the rest.  If you do not completely remove it, it will cause very hard to understand and diagnose problems.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones View Cookies and temporary internet files

    Two weeks ago, my girlfriend used my phone to access the Internet and find a pair of shoes she liked.  I've searched and searched and have no idea where I can find this information on my phone.  I think, at the very least, there are some temporary internet files that I'd be able to see and perhaps refine what she was watching.

    In short, I would like to know if it is possible to examine the files generated from research conducted on the internet.  I hope I can amaze with the shoes, but I just have no idea how to access data from the browser on my phone.

    Thanks in advance,

    While making a sweep of the AV, I see the files under analysis I want to remove it from my computer. All I can remember for the location of the files is C:\Documents and Settings of the user... I guess that the question is what will be called as temporary Internet files (under Windows 95). What should I do to access the folder where the files are stored?

    Tools / folder options. Discover tab show hidden and protected system files

    Use ccleaner do... Install, then run it.

  • I've attached a scan to an email, but it says "could not open the file C:\users\My Windows\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows |" Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\TQDLSO1A\etc, etc.

    I've attached a scan to an email, but it says "could not open the file C:\users\My Windows\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows |" Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\TQDLSO1A\etc, etc.

    I'm probably not explaining my problem fairly - well, I scanned something in - I used Nuance Paperport.  I have it attached to an email and sent to six people - including myself.  I always open the attached file to make sure that the computer has sent the right thing.  When I tried to open the attachment I got the message "cannot open the file - I have already sent you."  I think that Norton Security got rid of the file I need.  I think I will contact them.  I tried to contact Nuance - but alas, my warranty has expired, so no help there unless I want to pay for it.  If I can't have the problem solved through Norton, I will contact you again.  Thank you very much for taking the time to try to help me.  Have a great Thanksgiving action!

    ================================================
    Your explanation was nice... that was my answer that failed.

    I was hoping that you would simply copy the scan of your temporary
    Internet files folder and paste it on your desktop. Then you might
    evaluate what is the problem. I thought that trying to open
    with such a long way email could be a problem. And also... it's possible
    be a file association problem. And it could be a matter of file size.

    I understand that you care why the attachment to the email
    failure and I think you need to find what is the problem with the scan
    before fastening will be successful.

  • Access to the "TEMPORARY INTERNET FILES" in Windows 7

    I try to access "TEMPORARY INTERNET FILES" and immediately get a message "access denied."  I am admin and there is nothing in the temporary internet files that I should be blocked to protect the computer. (I've read posts that say that Windows has decided the people are too stupid to access parts of their computer and will protect us from ourselves.)

    That you are trying to access is probably a junction point, not a folder.
     
    In Win 7, look for in

  • What is the meaning of 'temporary internet file' and how can I find particular cookie or file belongs to the particular website?

    Please answer

    Hello

    Thanks for the display of the query to the Microsoft Community. I will certainly help you to find the answer to your query.

    The folder Temporary Internet Files (or cache) is used by Windows Internet Explorer and MSN Explorer to store the contents of the Web page on the hard drive of the computer for a quick consultation. This cache permits Internet Explorer or MSN Explorer download only content that has changed since you last time a Web page, rather than download all content of every time that the page is displayed.

    You can also read the article and check if it helps. Here is another article on the temporary internet files.

  • After that I deleted all temporary files and cookies from my temporary Internet files files always show. Why?

    I used to always go Documents Local Temporary Internet Files and delete everything, including cookies, and all would be deleted. But now I still at least 20 files always there, with which I can't delete?  I go on the internet and go to tools and Internet Options and delete from there, but still the same files are left there?  Why? I use Microsoft Security Essentials, and they say no virus or any problem what so ever, then why. I checked with an Anti Virus program but they don't always say no Virus.  Why are these files, and when I look at them, I know where they are, but know not why they stay on my computer. ???

    Hi JudyWilliamson,

    Some of the temporary internet files cannot be deleted because it will run in the background with the internet.

    You can leave these files because it will harm your computer.

    Hope the helps of information.
    Please post back and we do know.

  • Can't see hidden files to delete in the folder C:\Documents and Settings\William\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

    C:\Documents and Settings\William\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files folder there are more than 135,000 files; nearly 2,000 cases and close to 3 GB of data. These files do not display and I can't remove them by deleting temporary Internet files. When I try to see the files to help to locate hidden files, only three very small files appear. How can I delete these files? Can I delete the folder and create a new one?

    William

    You can also enter your options Internet Explorer (via Control Panel), on the general tab, in the browsing history, there should be a settings button, once there, you should be able to select Show files in the temporary Internet files section.  Who will open the file for you and you can do CTRL + A (select all), and then delete.

    Some of the files in the folder may be used, and if they are in use, you will not be able to remove them.  You will need to know what is their use, cannot be used, then delete them.

  • The temporary Internet files folder

    How can I clean a Temporary Internet Files folder properties shows a 21.5 MB content but nothing appears in the tree of files?

    «.. . and says disk cleanup I could free 2 k of disk in dealing with internet Temp files. yipeee... »

    I agree, 2 k of cleanup seems not even the time it takes to run Disk Cleanup. Personally, I've never used the feature in private so I can't comment on that, maybe, someone experienced with it will post more information.

    Maybe the free version of CCleaner utility can help with your files not found. I use it on all my machines and have seen it recommended countless times in this forum as well as others.

    CCleaner
     http://www.Piriform.com/CCleaner

    CCleaner is very effective for not only erase the temporary Internet files, but also other temporary files, caches and other accumulated junk.

    If you decide to try, by default most everything on Windows and tabs Applications are checked to be cleaned. You must first carefully consider this list (it's compiled by what you have installed) and check/uncheck accordingly.

    Then, click analyze to see what will be removed (nothing is deleted when you click Analyze); When the scan is finished you can double-click on (or right-click and select view detailed results) none of the entries in the list to get more information.

    In the detailed view of the results, you can right click on options such as Add to exclusion list if you want the deleted item.

    Once you are completely comfortable with your selections you can click the Run Cleaner button, and then click OK to the warning before running the vacuum cleaner.

    CCleaner also has a registry cleaner, which I do not recommend the use - unless you are a very experienced user and understand the possible consequences and take the necessary precautions. Registry cleaners, either free or commercial, IMO expose a user to a very high risk of creating serious problems and, eventually, a system that won't start.

    The Tools section has also two useful functions, Startup and System Restore.

    The start feature is very useful in managing what programs start when Windows starts (although I personally prefer Windows Sysinternals Autoruns for Windows). However, no matter which boot manager you can use, it is always better to consider Options a program, preferences, settings, etc., to prevent them from starting at boot time before resorting to a Boot Manager.

    Autoruns for Windows
     http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902

    CCleaner System Restore feature is excellent to remove older restoration that you no longer want to keep or need points. Sometimes this can free up a lot of disk space. However, it is not recommended to delete all THE restore points that you don't want in the future.

    Since you're under Windows XP SP3, there is one last point I want to mention if you try to recover hard disk space, it is the removal of the Programs uninstall of patches. This can sometimes release a significant amount of disk space. When Windows is selected in the cleaner section with the tab, you will see down under Advanced patches uninstallers.

    These files contain the uninstall information for each update of Microsoft that install. This means that you will not be able to uninstall the updates if you delete these folders. You can leave here unless you have need of available disk space. If your system is stable, and if you intend to uninstall an update is no longer, so go ahead and remove the $NtUninstall... corresponding records. Or you can move these files to another hard drive or burn them to CD before you delete the hard drive.

    The above is an excerpt from the next page, and it is recommended that these files be saved on an external before deleting as shown in the snippet above.

    What are the $NTUninstall files? Can they be deleted?
