It shouldn't hinder you to submit a ticket in English.

Hi Brandon,

That is not the case at all actually.  Have you tried it?  Please do, it's quite different in many ways as outlined in the opening post.

If it isn't working somehow, I would be glad to hear details and get you in touch with our Support team.

Many thanks,

Davidek

Okay, I will try it. At least it will give me an opportunity to go in and delete files that it finds.

Hello,

Bumping my demand regarding my licence. Info would be welcome.

Jumpshot Kickstarter backer here.
Cleanup, ex-Grimefighter, is not free anymore and my Jumpshot is dead. What of my lifetime licence? Do I get Avast for free? (I doubt it.) Do I get a refund for Jumpshot? (Sounds possible.)

Some time ago when the program was Grimefighter there were some network cards I believe that were not supported by Grimefighter.
The program has developed some since then and is now called Avast Cleanup.
I have not used Cleanyup, and do not believe in 'One Click' cleanup tools other then possibly CCleaner but I would think the WiFI issues are/were resolved as I have not read of any issues with using Cleanup while connected to WiFi. :)

Hi Sabbatha,

Shouldn't be any issue using Cleanup on WiFi.  By switching from Linux to Windows, we pretty much eliminated the issue with network cards.

Please give it a try and post back what you think, good or bad :-)

I would exercise EXTREME CAUTION before installing this product!  Earlier this year when I installed GrimeFighter (with Avast running just fine) it killed my hard drive.  I had to wipe everything clean and start with a complete fresh install.  This was after being online and on the phone with my paid Avast MCSE support 3 separate times for between 4-8 hours each time.  Which at the end, the last person said they would recommend that I take my computer into a shop for repair, that it was not fixable!  $350 later I finally got up and running again.  NO WAY will I be touching Cleanup!  Beware!

I clicked the link to show the files that it found. I just copied and pasted each directory into the command bar of Windows Explorer in order to delete the files in question. There is a way to remove these files and registry keys without purchasing Cleanup. Sure, it takes longer, but it saves money.
