Martijn Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 It said it wasn't available for Firefox, maybe you're using a extension to embed IE in Firefox?But what I meant to say is, the progress animation looks like the Firefox trobber, I just pasted the image of the FF trobber on the screenshot of the scan window.

WolfX2 Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 ya i got 750 errors in my regestry! bad on my part i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsiladka Posted March 20, 2006 Author Share Posted March 20, 2006 It again is a cleaner which gives me problems with my HP All in One.No use it seems , showed me 548 errors which were actually not errors .A few things i noticed -1. The Virus scan and the spyware scan seemed to be happening differently , means first it will scan for virus and then again the whole scan but for spyware.2. Haha , when you choose to customize the Virus Scan by selecting the folders to scan , there is a mess below the choosing window -Features of the scanner may be updated as you procced.It made me laugh , as if they are constantly updating it !!!

WolfX2 Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 (edited) @alsiladka - Thats why its called beta Edited March 21, 2006 by wolf74481 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsiladka Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 @alsiladka - Thats why its called betaI hope what you said hold true and they change it.But many Registry Cleaners have some problem with my HP all in one . It is HP's fault . But i fear that this safety center shall also be along the same line.The only ones that work fine are Tune Up and CCleaner.

ColdFusion200 Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 hmmmm, might make a test pc by infecting it with viruses and contaminating the registry with junk, see how well it does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
