    hi @The_PrivaZer_Team

    may i ask you a question?
    why can't i perform a custom clean of selected items for example registry or system traces?
    i think could be a nice feature
    thanks

    Hello @mantra,

    On the left menu, click on "clean specific traces", then "registry".
    It will only show options related to the registry.
    OK?

    hi
    yes , but when i open the results , i could only remove all of them
    for example i have performed this scan , results 1824 traces , if i click on the 1824 traces i can see all of them or for example only mui cache , but i can not select only 1 item or more to clean
    thanks

    Hello @Krusty,

    just tested. It can scan & clean after "Apps + Windows Store'.
    here is the scan result below. After the cleanup, no traces were left.

    I don't Scan and Clean, I just scan first, then clean. When the scan gets to Apps + Windows Store it does not go any further X 2 Win10 machines.

    You recently added Jdownloader to the list of downloaders to clean. About 2 years ago I requested that you add Jdownloader 2, but it has never appeared.
    Jdownloader was replaced by Jdownloader 2 circa 2011. I cannot select jdownloader presumably because i do not have it installed and thus it would suggest that you are still not cleaning jdownloader 2.
    Could you please reinstate this on your to-do list

    Please see screenshot below.

    PrivaZer has been scanning for over ten minutes.

    OK, left long enough, the scan did eventually complete, so I will revise my report to:

    A recent change in PrivaZer has added significant time to running PrivaZer.

    Thanks @The_PrivaZer_Team .

    After every new version installation I delete the istallation exe as part of disk housekeeping
    Could you make it self cleaning?

    Does this look right after a PrivaZer $MFT Index wipe?

    Hello to @all,

    @EASTER,
    yes, that's normal. PrivaZer is filling up the $MFT with 0000000000000000000.... filenames to overwrite previous data.

    @takiabtom,
    yes, you are right. There is no need to have an exe file remaining in the %localappdata%\privazer if the update is successful.

    @Krusty,
    Does it still hang when cleaning "Apps + Windows store" ?
    If not, how much time does it take to scan it ?

    Fladen,

    Good. As expected/ Question PLS, is there then no need to also remove/wipe the Modified, Accessed/Created Timestamps (which i assume are those timestamps associated when the PrivaZer wipe was performed in the $MFT Index, and not necessarily the indexed data file DATE/TIME preceding PrivaZer wipe/clean, or to a lesser extent ATR? Please explain purpose if not. Thanks

    it just shows the time when the cleanup was performed, nothing to do with your personal files.

    you are welcome @EASTER.
    Just for our information, which software do you use to browse the $MFT Indexes ?

    Very comprehensive. This is the results of my recent $MFT Index wipe.
    Used since Windows NT/2000/XP/Windows 7 if that can be of any help.
