[dba-Tech] Junk in the Registry

OK, got Cceaner but don't see where those Domains and History folders get
cleaned.

When I ask it analyze something I get huge numbers of files.  Probably do
without them.  Like Memory Dumps - I don't even know what that is - but
they're taking 62MB.  Now when I go to back web sites it often remembers my
login or something else.  What will I lose if I delete the Memory Dumps -
whatever they are.  

Generally anything called a dump I happy to get rid of.  Same here?

CCleaner is good for removing all kinds of junk. Make sure you do a backup
of the registry (in the options) before you delete, just in case.

Further - in the folder called Domains, under the folder called ZoneMap,
which is in InternetSettings, there are probably a couple thousand of these
*.com keys.  Is there an orderly way to delete them? (I use Firefox, btw).

MTIA again,

Rocky

Dear List:

 

I had an occasion to scan my registry for something and I see a whole lot of
keys with a .com extension - tried a few in the browser and they don't link
to anything.  A couple of them are identified as attack sites.

What's the best way to get rid of the junk - dangerous or otherwise?

MTIA

 

Rocky
