Thanks for the detailed introduction to Multron Win Cleaner! It seems like a comprehensive tool for Windows cleanup and optimization. The open-source nature and the no-installation requirement are definitely appealing. Looking forward to trying it out!
 
Tried it out as just done a C image, just my opinion but use it with great care, especially the registry cleaner, I actually didn't run it but I did scan & found lots of entries? - I'm personally not a believer in registry cleaning anyway - The PC cleaner found over 5 Gig of dross, I let it run in the end it removed just over 200meg - In the end I restored the image I made, so ...??

I think the issue is that the files are currently in use. Frankly, if I implement something in the new version that closes and clears the active files, I might be able to resolve the problem. The files it fails to delete might be in use and therefore locked. Try scanning the files again and check which ones couldn't be deleted. You can also send the log file to verify whether the WinSxS folder was cleaned properly. The log file can be found at: C:\Users{username}\AppData\Local\Multron Win Cleaner

I'm thinking of doing something in the new version that asks you to close the files before deleting them. This will be done in a panel, you can choose which one to close and delete, so it can be safe.

@winball501 If you want a free and open source malware scanner engine to integrate with a C# SDK you can take a look at Xvirus.

I might consider implementing your malware scanning engine as a second engine. This way, it would be a dual-engine scanner, and the user could choose which engine to use for scanning. If you have a Discord address or any other contact information, feel free to share it.

Thank you! Please feel free to check the database.txt file of the program and examine it as you wish. If you find any part that you consider harmful or suspicious, let me know so I can remove it. Also, thanks again for retrying and for your feedback!

XVirus behaviour like my first antivirus projects. It based on only machine learning and most popular malware websites. I think it's not changed too much. Let's compare latest version of my product of this. XVirus clearly better at scanning speed so I think it's good for this project as secondary engine. But if the detection rate low then it will be become problematic. So at deep scan it requires my engine but there huge problem here. My engine extermely heavy right now and only focused for one file scan deeply with behaviour. Also I didn't published my own drivers yet. So it requires other self protect driver in PYAS to protect himself without sandbox but that's not enough of course. There also Sanctum project here but I didn't added yet due to signature problems and it's still experimental. My project in Beta not finished yet. I know he wants to add it right now and I can help for us but there a lot of things needs to be added to this project. Also due to aggressive scan, there should be a lot of false positive from pe executables which looks very suspicious and very unknown. If he can manage to show why it's called malware then it would be great and user can understand is this malware. It suprisingly detects some unknown malwares, that's why some people think it's very good but I don't think it's still enough to get out Beta. I now generally working for avoiding very specific scenarious might have false positives. VirusTotal Here is the one of that files which didn't get detected 1 month ago and still didn't have correct virus name except my av detection. It's literally SlowLoris. I didn't created this myself but someone requested this for testing. But in very different scenario it cause false positive on some very rare scenario which shouldn't ignored. (ignore how much it get detected on virustotal)
So I think it's not ready and it's not have compability with C# anymore. I don't think it should add it but he wanted for us so I going to help us for that. I also going to look at XVirus project again.

I tried the program on Windows 10 and it works fine. I would be glad if you could inform me which version of Windows 10 you are using. You should also check the event viewer to see if it gives an exception etc.
