I did a Wi-Fi Inspector scan today as well as a Full Virus Scan & was hoping someone could answer 2 questions for me.

  1. On the subject of the Wi-Fi scan (on the left), can anyone help me figure out what the Wistron Neweb Corporation is & why it shows up during the scan?
  2. Concerning the Full Virus Scan, is there a way to find out where all these Performance Issues (on the right) are located manually?

Are all search engines blocking you ? > http://bfy.tw/Cz0a

Sure learn how windows, applications etc are working.
Open a command prompt and start searching.

  1. No search engines are blocking me. I just don’t recognize Wistron Neweb Corporation at all.
  2. The problem I have is that when I click each of the ‘Details’ boxes, not much information is given as to what to look for in most cases.

What is keeping you from doing a little (re)search to find out more about that company ?
You can also call the chamber of commerce in your country to get more information.

2]
Ditch CleaunUp and use CCleaner.
Both are from avast now, but CCleaner is free and does a better job, gives less problems etc.

I take it you aren’t using the paid version of the CleanUp component ?
If so, I don’t believe you will get much in the way of details and when you click Resolve, then you will find it is a paid option.

As for some of the entries, whilst some may improve performance, but by how much. What you have to consider is what is the performance of your system like right now ?

As Eddy said CCleaner will deal with much of that at no cost.

I have NO problem doing research, but all I’ve found out about Wistron Neweb Corporation is what they do. I don’t know why it’s showing up through Avast or whether I should disconnect from it or not.

I have been using (for years now) both CCleaner & EasyCleaner. Both have done good jobs in the past of cleaning my system, but after a few passes of each for this particular set of Performance Issues; some are cleaned, but some still persist & I have not found a way to manually remove the Junk & Obsolete Registry Entries.

Here’s a list of what was found during this morning’s check:
Junk Files- Redundant Apps-
Adobe Reader MRU - 24 - 656.00B to be removed Browser Helper Objects {3785 …} (2x)
Driver Packages - 5 - 1.12MB to be removed System Toolbars {759 …} (2x)
Font Cache - 5 - 9.22MB to be removed
Other History - 46 - 28.24kB to be removed Obsolete Registry Entries-
Software Distribution - 10 - 33.24MB to be removed SYSTEM - 1.07MB
System Logs - 7 - 1.03MB to be removed SOFTWARE - 5.08MB
Temporary Files - 20 - 10.99MB to be removed .DEFAULT - 132.00 kB
SECURITY - 228.00kB
Inefficient System Settings- SAM - 164.00kB
Allow Multiple T S Sessions S-1-5-20 - 20.00kB
Win32 Priority Separation S-1-5-19 - 1.00kB
S-1-5-21- … - 596.00kB

The Inefficient System Settings look as though they have to do w/my personal system tweaks & so I don’t need to ‘fix’ these.
I’m wondering if the Redundant Apps show-up twice each because I have 2 accounts (Administer & Standard)? In any case, I don’t think I need to ‘fix’ these either.
