@Root_Kit_404 For what it's worth, if you're using Firefox HTTPS is now a built in option under Privacy and Security. I ditched HTTPS Everywhere once that was built into Firefox.

Actually there is. I didn't see any documentation to turn on any of the Basic Repair Actions with individual or a group set. Something like this: /iefo:1 Or... /basicRepair:1 Is there an undocumented method to turning all of those on?

@jboursier Looking forward to it! I'm hoping with the CLI introduction, I may be able to write a tiny batch to enable all the optional reset settings. Let it run and remove all malware and bloatware, then reboot if necessary. Sort of a silent thing.

If you need to run DISM and SFC at every boot, there's a far bigger problem at hand. It's like trying to put a giant band-aid over a papercut. You mentioned an old hard drive. Let's say that is what it's running on (I did skim this thread I admit). If that old hard drive isn't doing well, why do you want to increase the activity on it and only allow the condition to deteriorate faster? DISM is only necessary if SFC finds errors. Even then, SFC is only for when you're noticing problems on the computer. Adding on, Windows Update shouldn't really be an issue. It almost sounds as th

Any word on this?

I swear this used to be present in the past. I'd like to see the Restart Later option. Sometimes there's something else going on that I'd like to see finish prior to restarting, yet still being able to close Adw would be nice.

@Atribune I no longer have access to this computer. However, I have asked for a scan to be run and if the detections show, with no response as of yet. It was a friend who had me fix a few things on it for his father.

When running a scan I saw the uninstaller for my software was flagged.

This is all you really need. I typically set Storage Sense to Once a Week when I turn it on for client computers. Disk Cleanup takes care of everything that really should be touched. Leave Delivery Optimization alone if you have more than one PC on your local network, as updates can be shared from an up-to-date PC on the network.

Adding on, let's not forget that avast (who also owns AVG) cannot be trusted either: https://www.lunarsoft.net/featured/mozilla-pulls-avast-software-addons-for-excessive-tracking

I'm glad HWInfo doesn't push that partnership at all, just that one button which I've never pressed until you brought it to my attention. CCleaner has had issues for years, wish Microsoft left it flagged for the crapware it is. https://www.lunarsoft.net/featured/infected-ccleaner-downloads-official-servers I too wrote about how CCleaner has become obsolete. The registry cleaner is snake oil, don't like how they insert a method to skip the UAC check either, that's shady behaviour. https://www.lunarsoft.net/featured/ccleaner-s-usage-on-windows-has-become-obsolete

It may be detecting those domains (or simply the fact that the hosts file has changed) as a potential malicious change. Truth be told, the hosts file is not meant to block domains and is a common misconception/misuse of the hosts file. It's main intent is to help direct a (few) domains to new IP addresses, such as in the case that DNS has not propagated with updates. If you'd like to learn more about it, you can read about Blocking Malware and Advertisements Safely.

Still coming from toolslib though.

@fr33tux Only when threats are detected. I'll keep an eye on it to see if it's still doing it, too.

There are no log files available.
