Avast.Setup showing up in CCleaner's Registry Cleaner

[EmoHobo]

I do a scan once every few days and I noticed Avast.Setup showing up quite frequently in the registry cleaner, I've made no changes to Avast and this only showed up since upgrading to 8.0.1488.  Is this anything to be worried about like an issue with the program or my system?

if you give the full registry location....maybe somone knows the answer?

I like an idiot deleted it, so it will have to wait, I totally thought I didn't delete it, but I guess I did.

I wouldn't worry, just un-tick it (ignore) as its a temporary file used during Avast updates and is deleted by avast afterwards. CCleaner is just trying to remove its reference in the registry, like many "same name" temporary files it will return and so its normal for CCleaner to think its no longer needed.

I've  had  Avast.Setup showing in CCleaner occasionally for the last year or so.

Theres no problems in deleting it either, it will just return.

Thanks Steve, glad to see I'm not alone on that and that it's probably nothing to worry about.

It's best to leave avast to do it's own housekeeping rather than have CCleaner do it, untick avast from CCleaner's application list "note" there will probably be entries for both both 6 and 8 so untick them both.

Just realised you said the entry was in the registry detection you can right click on the avast detection and add to exclude list.

How do I do that CraigB?

Nevermind, I found it, will that effect the Registry Cleaner as well as the normal cleaner as it was under options for the normal cleaner.

Well this wasn't needed then.

Do not trouble yourself. Avast.setup appears in your system when downloading and installing VPS updates. When every thing is finnished avast.setup is removed of the system by itself ( Avast!). When an execute file is run in your system, Windows stored the applicaction file name in MUICache so that next time it is run it will be easier or faster to access. You can remove the registry for MUICache and next time avast.setup runs it will reappear and create the same MUICache key for avast.setup.

Well then I just added it to my CCleaner ignore list.

Yes, you can do that as craigb told you to do above, or just remove it with CCleaner. It will be recreated again when avast.setup runs. BTW I do not like to eliminate anything from the registry unless it is necessary. Like getting rid of a program that it is giving you problems.

It's still good to leave those avast boxes in the CCleaner applications list unticked.

+1 I have Avast untick in the CCleaner applications how hard is that, untick means ignore not to be touch.

Oh no I wasn't saying your advice was unneeded, I gave a bunch of spec information that I don't like sharing unless I have to so I always modify the post afterwards to hide it.
