Title: CCleaner start-up programs
Post by: REDACTED on June 16, 2015, 10:45:08 AM

I have checked the start-up programs with Ccleaner Free.
There are lots of them.
Can I diable ALL of these programs to start-up?
It may boost my pc, right?

PC: Asus
OS: W8.1

Kind regards,

I suggest you use a program like "Should I Remove It (http://www.shouldiremoveit.com/)"
Which can help you make a more useful decision as to which programs can be removed and which programs
probably shouldn't be on your system in the first place.

@bob3160 : thanks, I have downloaded & installed Should I Remove It. Seems that everything is okay.

CCleaner>Tools>Startup>Save to text file (programs set to run when computer or browser starts) See attachment.

Avast Free Antivirus?Scan>GrimeFighter>21 problems (9 apps plus 12 system settings)
Can I have GrimeFighter solve these problems?

Scancircle.com>direct scan>system 10, security 10, hardware 9.3, software 8.8, processes 5.8 (to be checked)
Unusual folder startup process (dropbox update)

Looking forward to help/advice, thanks in advance.

Post by: REDACTED on June 17, 2015, 11:01:24 PM

@Pondus I'm unable to download mbam and farbar to my desktop.

Post by: Pondus on June 17, 2015, 11:19:28 PM

Malwarebytes  must be installed as any program you install

Farbar is not installed and should be run from desktop ..... i assume you know how to move a file from download folder to desktop?

If not, ask

Title: Re: CCleaner start-up programs
Post by: REDACTED on June 18, 2015, 08:02:39 AM

Morning, how to download mbam to Desktop?
I don't see Folder Desktop listed.

Kind regards, Herman

Title: Re: CCleaner start-up programs
Post by: Pondus on June 18, 2015, 08:16:48 AM

Desktop is what you see when you turn on your computer

i assume malwarebytes is downloaded in your download folder? .... just double click the file and install it and run as instructed and attach log
same way you did when downloading and installing avast


when you have downloaded frst (in your download folder) right click on the file and select cut then go to your desktop, right click somwhere on the screen and select paste
farabar should now be on your desktop....run as instructed and attach the two diagnostic logs

Title: Re: CCleaner start-up programs
Post by: REDACTED on June 18, 2015, 10:43:11 AM

I have run both programs (mbam in program files (x86))
See attachments.

Kind regards, Herman

Title: Re: CCleaner start-up programs
Post by: Pondus on June 18, 2015, 10:50:54 AM

there should be one more log, farbar produce two logs ... frst.txt is missing, you should find it same place as you found additional.txt

Title: Re: CCleaner start-up programs
Post by: REDACTED on June 18, 2015, 11:16:07 AM

Out of all the above there is just one keeper ... Avast.  The others should only start when you want them to

Below is my windows 8 startup, I have flux to dim the screen and a wallpaper changer to go with Avast and that is it

I'd leave the Realtek start ups alone otherwise audio wont work.

Users Choice !  :o

Do you want to start whats needs to run manually or, do you want the system to do it for you.
Certain items hardly ever get used and should probably only be started manually.
Those items that you always use like Dropbox to back up certain files, are much more useful when started by the system.
If you start programs at system boot, you simply need to realize that it will take some extra seconds to boot your system.
If you want a quick system boot, then don't start programs (mostly utilities) at system start and waste your time starting them manually
after the computer boots.
Your computer your choice. IMHO, there isn't a right or wrong way of doing this. It's up to the user for how legitimate programs are started.

Thanks for your replies.

I have disabled ALL startup programs via CCleaner, see attachment.

Still the pc is (too) slow, ScanCircle detects unusual folder startup process (recommendation to fix), see attachment.

What to do next to fix it?

If you don't use the Asus web storage you can even delete it from the programs and features, then delete scan circles as that is not required either :)

How to stop process at "C:\Users\Gebruiker\AppData\Local\Dropbox\Update\DropboxUpdate.exe" /c

This may cause slow pc issue.

If you use it, it will have to be started. Either at boot or manually.
