What is wrong with this application? It displays different results upon scanning with different Windows accounts.

Question

My user account is normally a limited account. If I run EasyCleaner, I get 1228 illegal entries but cannot delete them due to not having admin privileges. If I change this account to have these privileges, then rerun EasyCleaner I get no illegal entries. Why does EasyCleaner find many more when running as a limited account user?

Answer 1

It's somewhat awkward because the process should be reversed, however, there is a possibility the application is displaying false results. I wouldn't trust it in this case. Try to use CCleaner and perform the same search operation. You can trust CCleaner because it will display the same results, even if it's run without elevated rights.
