Hello,

A few things about malicious entries on Registry Cleaner:

First I want to point out that the malicious entries in this version are totally different from the old "unsafe to delete entries" in the previous version of our cleaner. We use a very large database which contains entries marked as malicious. We are in process of whitelisting this entries. In the alpha version it found 3000+ entries, in this version  about 500 entries are found. We hope that until the next release we'll finish the whitelisting process and only real malicious entries will show up when scanning with CSC.

This means that if you have a virus or other malicious software on your computer, you can delete all entries that are created by it in the registry.

Thanks for the info, sounds great!

Wow! Are these, at present, considered False Positives? If so, I hope they don’t cause as many problems as the FPs in CIS!

I guess the above post from Razvan Raschitor answers your question. Actually, just for fun, I deleted these 3000 entries and rebooted. My machine didn’t boot any more. ;D It used the “last known good configuration” though, so I could enter Windows. However it was so messed up anyway so I reinstalled Windows.

Anyway, I think the concept of malicious entries in CRC is a very good thing. Once successfully implemented it’ll be useful for those who are infected or was infected earlier and have to clean up the system.

as LeoniAquila pointed out, this was for an alpha version we shared with Mods. Doesn’t relate to this beta release.

thanks

I installed CSC 2 beta and let the registry cleaner run without scanning the malicious entries. This time my system survived the reboot gracefully.

On a side note. It is pretty cool with Vista and Win 7 you can start system restore from the installation CD in order to let Windows drag its self out of the water by its own hair,

It’s only in beta now, so perhaps they will make one when it’s stable.
