Windows Firewall
The Windows firewall saves the programs that may accept incoming network
connections and stores an entry for each one in the registry. These entries can
become incorrect or invalid if, for example, one of these programs is
uninstalled.
It should be clear therefore that deleted files can leave behind a lot of "ghosts" in the registry. TuneUp
Registry Cleaner finds all of these orphaned entries and can delete them in a targeted fashion. We therefore
recommend that you perform the full scan.
Additional Functions in TuneUp Registry Cleaner Main Menu
Displaying Details and Excluding Problems from the Cleanup
If you click through the various areas in the left column, you will see a detailed Explanation in the top part of
the window, describing how problems can occur in the area in question.
If problems are found in an area, a list of the individual problems also appears with further information. Select
an entry in the list in order to display a more extensive analysis of the problem.
Here you can also exclude certain problems from the cleanup by unchecking the relevant checkboxes.
If descriptions of the problems are not visible, click Details in the toolbar.
Running the Cleanup
To start cleanup from the main window of TuneUp Registry Cleaner, click Start cleaning. If you have
excluded problems from the cleanup, these will not be fixed.
If after the cleanup has finished, the Check again button appears, find out more information here:
Check Again
Sometimes, the Check again button appears and the wizard recommends that you check your system
again. This always happens if new entries in the registry have been made invalid by the cleanup. This is
not an error in the module, but a chain reaction that can occur primarily in the Program components
and File types areas.
Example:
In the registry, entry A points to entry B, which in turn points to the missing file X. In the first scan,
TuneUp Registry Cleaner determines that entry B is invalid because file X cannot be found. Entry B is
deleted during cleanup. This in turn makes entry A invalid, as it points to the now deleted entry B.
1. Click Check again.
These two categories alone will be analyzed again.
2. Click Finish to close the wizard.
Repeat the cleanup as often as required. As soon as no new problems are found, you can exit the
