jv16 PowerTools 2014 Release Candidate 4

rik

Hello JV16-team,

Yesterday I tried the release preview of Internet Explorer 11 on my WIN7x64 , available since this week. It works just fine & even better than IE 10, although the difference is not that big comparing with the upgrading from 9 to IE10.

Regarding to this , JV16 2014 gives 4 false positives on the feedbacktool. It repairs 2 of them and the other 2 are left without treatment. But it ain't no use for all 4, because they keep coming back with the next scan.

Not so essential after all, but I wanted to post anyway : maybe it can be fixed, because the official release of IE 11 is getting close.

Greetings, Rik

Windows 8 x64 Pro, Windows 7 x86 Pro, jv16 RC4i

Attached are 4 registry keys that RC4i detected that appear to be false detections by RC4i. These weird keys are placed in the registry by security program SpywareBlaster 5.0. These keys should not be removed by jv16. It looks to me like jv16 is misinterpreting the value string with T' in it.

This is by design. Some big software download sites reduce the points they give to a program if it is possible to maximize the program's main window :

So that is why the main window cannot be maximized :

That is fine but can you make it so it does not go blow the task bar. Just have it fit. To it was no big deal tell I saw it go blow the task bar. Thanks.

What do you mean exactly by "blowing" the task bar?

The bottom of the program window is under the task bar.

Rc4i stores all deleted registry keys produced by CFMC under "File Backups" instead of "Registry Backups".

That kind of looks wrong for me!

RC4i again:

In order to protect the downloaded pictures of my "Dynamic Desktop Themes" I set a exclusion for the windows storage path (German Win7 32/SP1) in the "Global Ignore List":

"C:\Benutzer\jens\appdata\local\temp\temporäre internetdateien\Enclosure\"

For test I ran CFMC and surprisingly the program offered the whole content of the excluded folder for deletion.

A reboot or even a new clean installation did not solve this problem.

After 2(!) days of thinking and trying I came to the in priciple idiotic idea to change the path to a litle bit of English language andI replaced the word "Benutzer" by the English term "Users". I did not translate the term "Temporäre Internetdateien" (Temporary Internet Files).

So the new path was:

C:\users\jens\appdata\local\temp\temporäre internetdateien\Enclosure\

The long story short: this one worked.

Explanation ... I don't know

Thought ... something is not right

Here is a way to create an access violation with very high repeatability.

1. Open jv16 to the main GUI

2. Go to Tools>Program Maintenance>Reset all Settings to defaults.

3. All jv16 to set all the statistics to defaults.

4. jv16 will restart and rebuild the cache and then restart again.

5. After it restarts the second time, go to Settings and enter all your desired settings.

6. After the last settings change, click on OK

7. jv16 will request a Restart to save the settings and the GUI will close.

8. As it attempts to restart, the Access Violation occurs.

No BugReport.txt is created, right?

This is now fixed, thank you for reporting! The fix will be included to the next released build.

Is there a reason why would you want to store non-temp files under the Temporary Internet Files folder?

Correct. No bug report is created because Windows attacks and issues the Access Violation on jv16.

1. I do not store them in this folder, they are stored here by the system!!!

Ask Bill Gates why.

2. I do not complain about the store location, but I complain about the Path you have to enter in the "Global Ignore List": the term "Users" instead of "Benutzer" on a German system!

Running CFMC: on my laptop, i5 processor, 128GB SSD, 8GB memory.

'Fix'-ing temporary files (mostly internet files) WITH a backup, takes incredibly LONG. (unacceptable long!)

2446 temporary files, the first 200-400 go pretty fast, than the process rapidly slows down.

After ~1000 files (progress bar is at ~40%) it takes over 1sec to fix ONE temp file.

After ~1400 files (progress bar is at ~55%) it takes over 3sec to fix ONE temp file.

After ~1700 files (progress bar is at ~70%) it takes over 6sec to fix ONE temp file.

At that time (1.5 hours later from the start) I aborted the process.

........ (snip)

I have made some changes to the program and this issue should be now fixed. The fixed version will be released shortly.

Using jv16PT2014_RC4i CFMC I reran the 'Fix'-ing of temp files (almost all internet temp files) WITH a backup, 1043 temporary files, the first 400 processed pretty fast, than the process really slowed down.

At ~1000 files (progress bar almost 100%) it takes ~1sec to fix ONE temp file.

The whole process for 1043 temp files took 15-20 minutes, restoring the backup took 16 minutes.

Consideration:

1. Should'nt CFMC users be warned it they start to 'Fix' or 'Delete' over a 1000 temp files WITH a backup?

2. In general most temp files are internet files. What is the need for a backup for temp internet files?

Is it not acceptable to NOT take a backup by default for temp internet files?

I can fully confirm the above mentioned facts:

1. jv16 PT is trying to clean a hidden System folder where Win7 stores the pictures of "Dynamic Desctop Themes": C:\users\jens\appdata\local\temp\temporäre internetdateien\Enclosure\ (see also http://www.macecraft.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=5402&p=32998#p32996)

2.Trying to clean ~2500 files with backup the operation consecutively slowed down. Last thing I saw after about 3 (!!!) hrs it was taking about 15 sec per file ca. 75% of progress bar. Next morning when I woke up it was finished.

System: Win7 ult 32/SP1, Dual core 2.5GHz, 256GB SSD, 4GB RAM

To your consideration No2:

As long as jv16PT kills data from hidden system files it's might not be the worst idea to make a backup!

Only for 'temporary internet files' I would consider NO backup as the default.

I agree and this is a good idea. However, such feature would require changes to the user interface and thus to the translation files, and I cannot do such major changes at this stage of the development of the 2014 version. But I hope this feature will make it to the 2015 version!
