CCleaner UpdClient.exe,-279
Receiving this error “CCleaner UpdClient.exe,-279 is an Invalid Default Icon”? Well here is a work around for this bug issue related to ZoneAlarm’s MailSafe default icon and using CCleaner to remove the registry entries.
Let me first explain the issue here -279 is the icon number associated with ZoneAlarm’s MailSafe default icon located in the registry as HKCR\ZAMailSafe\DefaultIcon.
The path point’s to:
C:\Program Files\Zone Labs\ZoneAlarm\UpdClient.exe,-279.
Where in actual fact it should be pointing to:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ZoneLabs\UpdClient.exe,-279
So from reading articles on this issue seems like ZoneAlarm have relocated the folder for the updclient.exe file to WINDOWS\system32 folder most likely in this case they moved it for security purposes I reckon. Here try this tweak so it stops it coming up in CCleaner’s Registry key entries good luck!
Tutorial Solution:
- Create a dummy file in Notepad
- with the same name UpdClient.exe,-279
- place it in the C:\Program Files\Zone Labs\ZoneAlarm folder
- the file does nothing, but it clears the message in CCleaner.
