    +1 - Sandboxie is da bomb. I learned about that over at Wilders Security back in 2008 and, talk about pre-cleaning, it's like having Las Vegas on demand any time you feel like "going there"!
    Word Man: does that Sandboxie make a gos verified copy of HDD to SSD ? Please send me a URL for SandBoxie.
    thanks, Cliff M.

    Noooooo - it's not anything like that. It's kind of like to an internet surfer what a condom is to a sailor on liberty. http://www.sandboxie.com/

    OK, I'll take your word on that - it is a pretty big sidebar going here in a thread about cleaning up the hard drive. My intent was more to supplement interpretation of the ESET post you showed us and not to necessarily dispute whether the version of ccleaner you talked about was presenting an opt out that you were missing.
    My apologies for coming off harsh , didn't mean to my friend. I understand what you mean now.

    None needed. You were being assailed with questions on the ESET PUP ID issue and I understand perfectly.

    I like it but had a hard time finding a version that worked with Win 10 , supposedly the version i am using now is a beta only. Right now i am not on my computer (using one at a different location) but will check what that version is later , 501 something but not sure.

    Yes - 5.01.10 here on my machine, 64-bit beta. At least Invincea calls a beta a BETA!

    I see they currently have 5.01.13 up on the beta DL page.

    The beta Sandboxie has been working for me. I mainly use it when searching virus and malware stuff. Been a long time fan.

    Ok, I'm running the ESET thing. Seems to be finding the tool bar. Can't interrupt or stretch the window for details. Seems to be scanning both partitions win7/10. Not sure if it is going through windows.old as well. However, I do not have chrome on my system, and every time I update CCleaner, the chrome option is there. screen shot:

    I know the source of the other file, a popular DAW upload under win7. (sons)

    I was about to throw myself in front of a bus if nobody found that google toolbar , i knew i wasn't hallucinating .

    The only toolbar that has ever come up from CCleaner for me is the Win32/Bundled.Toolbar.Google.D potentially unsafe application , i have no idea if it's harmless or not.

    It has not caused any issues as far as i know on the computer , i just don't like anything like that on my computer if i have a choice , thats why i always use the CCleaner portable version and not the exe. because i see no opt out options with the full install option.

    Others might see that option though.

    I always get 4 of those google toolbars from installing CCleaner.exe so you should get 1 more to add to those three . The hacktool is something else entirely , CCleaner does not install anything like that .



    Thanks for posting , you saved my a_ _ .

    That was the SAME screen I had when I ran Eset, Fredc only difference Eset found nothing. This screen looks different than the one you showed few hours back. :)
