Zone alarm cache cleaner settings

I have ZASS version 6.1.

The cache cleaner ran for the first time automatically and it ended up deleting all my documents, my music etc from XP. What setting should i have ticked to stop this happening again? I ran CCleaner and the same thing happened.

This is a schoolboy error i know, but can anyone give me a dummy introduction? Thanks

 

1. Double-click the "ZA" icon on your taskbar.
2. Click "Privacy" in the left pane of the "ZoneAlarm Pro" window that appears.
3. Click the "Cache Cleaner" tab.
4. untick the "CLick cache Automatically every:"

CCLEANER
on Cleaner Settings (main window)
On "Internet Explorer"
untick the
"Last Download Location"
untick the "Advance" box

click "OPTION" Left panel
then click Advance
untick the first 2 box

 

Yes, but how do I continue to use the ZA cleaner without deleting my personal files?

I'd like to know the same for ccleaner. thanks

 

okey try to uninstall and reinstall the ZA
and dont change anything in the default of "PRIVACY" tab of ZA

but better use CCLEANER
and also this
CCleaner
Will clean temp files and cookies plus it will clean your regisrtry, do when cleaning the registry choose to save what its about to remove, you are given the choice in a popup message before the old registry files ( keys ) are removed.

 

Not sure if all versions of ZoneAlarm have this, ZA Security Suite and ZA Pro do, but on the Privacy->Cache Cleaner tab, there is a custom button, which allows you to select folders.


BTW, it doesn't delete music files or documents, only history and temp files.

 

Trust me. Once ZA cache cleaner had finished, I lost tonnes of music and files. Everything contained within My Documents. I'm almost 100% sure that the boxes ticked were the default settings as follows...

ticked - clean recycle bin
ticked - clean temp files directory
ticked - clean windows scandisk file fragments

 

for your security i can say dont use the ZA Privacy->Cache Cleaner tab
you have CCleaner
and add this also
Cleanup

 

I'll happily ignore the ZA cache cleaner and just use CCleaner, but as i said in my original post, CCleaner also deleted all my personal files. I ran it with the default settings. Is there something I should untick to avoid this again?

 

You may have account corruption as ZoneAlarm and CCleaner don't normally target My Documents.

The only setting I'm aware of in CCleaner that can do this is in the Custom section, if My Documents has been added, for example.

Even then, it should only delete temp files etc.


Anyway, try creating another account and see if it does the same thing.
