    In the Indexing options of PrivaZer,
    did you choose "Erase all indexing"?

    1. can you check the event log to catch the error?
    (we are unable to reproduce it...)

    2. Did you try to reboot the PC as PrivaZer can make Wsearch start at boot if it failed to start after cleanup?

    No event log that I could find. No I did not reboot, that could be the solution. I am going to do a clean install of Win 10 now that new BIOS and drivers have been released for this system, I will check this out again once this is completed. Thanks.

    Ok. No problem.
    We found a way to improve the restart of Wsearch. A beta version to test is coming...

    Thanks PrivaZer Team , keep up the good work !

    Some time ago you asked for suggestions to be incorporated into a new version of PrivaZer.

    How about an option to Skip User Account Control ?

    Hello,

    we need your help to test UI changes for high DPIscreens (no other changes in this version).
    Simply download it, use it and have a look if there are layout/design issue:
    http://www.privazer.com/privazer_free-2.36-beta.exe

    It should look much better on high DPI screen.

    Changelog :
    - Improved UI for high DPI screen
    - Fixed bluring issue

    Thanks for feedback.

    Unless I've missed something:

    I've always wondered why Privazer doesn't have a right-click option to choose check marked boxes on the scan screen? All you get is a check box to "select all". Really? Thats it?

    It would be nice to at least get the options of:

    select all
    select none
    Invert selection

    Surely, UI programming isn't *that* difficult? Wait. Is this the same for the *donate* versions?

    I have a question, What about AmCache.hve does Privazer clear this data I hear this is something in Windows 8? And what about Shell Bags, does it wipe these to the point of no recovery?

    Is there also any future plan for additional cleaning for AcdSee Software?

    Hello guys,

    @Phil Granere
    Thanks for sharing your thoughts and sorry for the late reply (we have been investigating on AmCache.hve...)

    1. ACDsee is already supported. Check screenshot :
    acdsee.png


    2. Concerning AmCache.hve cleaning, we are still investigating what could be left when cleaning AppCompatCache in the registry with PrivaZer.
    We will keep you informed of our findings.
    To clean AppCompatCache, simply verify that the option "Compatibilty assistant" is checked :
    ("Compatibilty assistant" assistant will be renamed as "AppCompatCache" in the next PrivaZer release v2.37 coming today or tomorrow).

    @Slink489
    Right-click menu on items of the scan list will be added in a next release. Thanks.

  15. Any plans for a Linux version of Privazer? I use Privazer on my Windows work machine and it's great!

    Well, Linux does not generate all that junk anyway.

    Hi Privazer Team.

    There are a couple of bugs which have remained since some of the very early versions of Privazer, going back to versions 1.15 at least.

    Bug 1

    Win 7 64bit SP1 NTFS formatted VeraCrypt Whole Disk Encrypted 500GB slave drive.


    When using Privazer on a mounted VeraCrypt slave drive I sometimes notice the error...

    "Unable to clean up INDEX_ALLOCATION attributes in MFT"

    Other times there is no warning or error message but on inspection of the MFT I notice it has not been cleaned.

    Sometimes Privazer appears to be cleaning the MFT of these drives and gives no indication anything is wrong or that it has failed. This could provide a false sense of security to Privazer users who do not take the time to double check the results.

    CCleaner actually cleans the MFT on the same test drives, so I guess this is not a VeraCrypt issue.

    I know you have spoken with others via e-mail about this problem in the past, please would you take another look ? If a solution cannot be found, would it be possible to at least warn users the MFT might not be cleaned when they attempt to clean mounted encrypted slave drives ?

    If it helps identify the problem, Privazer is able to wipe the free-space of these slave drives.



    Bug 2

    The setting "windows history / usb history" is never retained when a user closes and restarts Privazer.

    Also even when the usb history item is checked, it does not seem to clean as well as DriveCleanup.exe

    Available here....

    http://www.uwe-sieber.de/drivetools_e.html


    Please do not take my post as criticism, it's an effort to help make Privazer better.

    Thank you.

  18. Yes I know that but it would still be nice to have for cleaning Chrome and Firefox. Bleachbit is available for Linux but I like Privazer better.

    How awesome is DriveCleanup!? I use it every time prior to system backups. It would be good to get a description of how the USB History via PrivaZer actually works...

    Also, if there is a requirement to use the "Shellbag Analyzer & Cleaner" if the user has Shellbags ticked in PrivaZer?

    Thanks in advance.

    Pretty ~ Snipped as per TOS ~ POOR support I've received from you so far anyway!
    Govasofton!

    I contact you regarding an issue I'm having on my external drives and one of your support rep's asks how much space System Restore is using... ON MY EXTERNAL DRIVE!

    hi people,

    for me Privazer is a great tool and it works very well. Thanks a lot for this free software.

    It has been asked some time ago, but I couldnt find a recent answer to the question: is there a command line to Privazer? Would be great! Or, if no cmd, a setting which starts Privazer with a certain profile, no questions asked, just put it to work and shuts it down afterwards. Would that be possible?

    Regards, Anouk

    Hi,
    Privazer cleans VLC recently viewed medias. But when i do File-Open it shows last filename like video.divx.
    How to reprocude:
    1. Launch VLC
    2. Watch media file of your choice
    3. Run Privazer
    4. Reboot
    5. Open VLC
    6. Do file-open
    7. VLC opens Explorer that shows you a last file played, even you deleted it or not
