A database of known malicious processes would still be required. Maintaining it would use an enormous amount of time.
CCleaner checks predefined locations for junk files, so many are missed. System Ninja scans the entire hard drive and uses a heuristic algorithm to determine if the file is junk. The quantity of junk found differs, as System Ninja prefers to target the more “difficult to find” files.
We use a technology called CleanSync to automatically download the latest cleaning routines. This can be disabled via the settings menu.
System Ninja periodically checks for program updates and updates to plugins. This can also be disabled on the settings page.
If you have a look in a network monitoring tool, you will see that these are all GET requests. We don’t upload any data to our servers whatsoever while System Ninja is running.
Hi Sputnik, thank you for your feedback.
The best way to help improve JavaRa’s uninstall is to export InstallProperties registry key for undetected JRE instances.
You should get something like this.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Products\4EA42A62D9304AC4784BF238120790FF\InstallProperties]

“DisplayName”=”Java 7 Update 9”Revo can do a deep scan and remove associated files and keys. If it isn’t able to detect that Java was installed, try creating a few fake registry entries in the tree used for ‘add or remove programs’
In the past I’ve exported a few Java registry keys from a PC with a working Java install and imported them onto a PC with similar problems to you. Once you give it a whiff; Revo does a pretty decent job.
Thanks for the heads up about the missed entries. We’ll get those added when possible.
I’m not familiar with the log you’ve posted. It looks like some sort of internal debug log, where Java appears to be attempting to call Java methods (bits of code) but cannot locate them. I would assume a partially installed JRE would cause this issue.
My best recommendation would be to try a heuristic powered uninstalled app: Revo Uninstaller would be the most obvious choice.
Good luck.
