Ccleaner slim no toolbar11/7/2023 I like the idea of making CCleaner Support a separate button! Having it done that way would help separate it even more from the other tools so that people wouldn't have to look at those add-ons unless they truly wanted them. I especially like the "TakeAway" portable cleaner version, but I'll stop here lest I'll be banned! ) Much like "IEPrivacyKeeper" has a nice option for a baloon that shows when things were cleaned (although they put their own advertizement in the options screens, where they advertize their own other shareware software. Wow wow wait - I have the COOLEST idea - have CCleaner show a "baloon" everytime it completes an auto clean - this baloon could read something like "Crap Cleaned! Why won't you consider " and it can then evaporate after a few seconds. This brings me into a better idea - why not have a dedicated screen inside CCleaner that will advertize different software everytime? It could get updated when connected (but only when user shows that panel), to show new stuff every time. What's genious in your idea is that the support from the users won't be decided at installation time (where most people will uncheck anything that smells like crap), but we can always choose one of the options there at any time. Much like Spybot has a "donate" button, only with your suggestions (which are better than donations - even poor students with no international credit cards can show their support). Maybe instead of "Add ons" it could be called "Support CCleaner" and be under "Options", or better - it's own icon. Lokoike dude, that 3rd button got me ROFL! G for doing such a great thing for us with providing CCleaner for free. Optional components that are downloaded at installation & command line parameters (for admins/silent installs) is the right way to go. I really don't think that there should be several installation packages - it'll be a mess and create a chaos. I DO understand the need to see revenue, but I DO agree that including the toolbar in the installation is not the right way.Įither, like I said elsewhere already, have the toolbar as online d/l only when checked at installation (a'la IrfanView & Google) OR: could be on the d/l page itself like Adobe Reader. Wow - those are strong words and I tend to agree, but let us not forget who is behind CCleaner - not a wealthy mega-company like Adobe that "plays" with their free product, but a single(?) freeware author that created a lovely tool and maintains it without seeing a dime. I still remember how the users react at the time. Firefox had an experience once with the German version, something with the re-direction to EBAY or something. I think some people are over-estimating the loyalty of its fans or users here. A program which is suposed to clean crap not ADD it. But guys, this is a Crap Cleaner program. Other programs might be bloatware for instance, Adobe Acrobat Reader. If everything goes well, we may even earn afew extra bucks. Since everybody is so nice about the program, hey why not put in a Yahoo Toolbar and see what happens. 09:27:19 Personal firewall An attempt to add the root certificate to all known browsers on your computer failed.I guess this is just testing the waters by the authors of CrapCleaner. I've also been getting this since 15th December but don't know how to deal with it. 17:13:16 Real-time file system protection file C:\Users\Nigel Dalton\Downloads\spsetup129.exe Win32/ potentially unsafe application cleaned by deleting NigelDalton-PC\Nigel Dalton Event occurred during an attempt to access the file by the application: C:\Windows\explorer.exe (84123A3DECDAA217E3588A1DE59FE6CEE1998004). Time Scanner Object type Object Threat Action User Information Hash First seen here I ran another scan with ESET and nothing came back - here's one of the threats reported. " One was an earlier version of CCleaner (ccsetup502) and the other was something that began spsetup.exe " I still have a concern about the fact that ESET only cleaned one out of the two reported threats that it found however. That way you can be sure to avoid most of the unwanted additional software which most download website will include at their leisure. In addition, if I may suggest, only download directly from the originating website (i.e. Should you wish to inquire further, you could try their forum or just check with Piriform directly. The other versions (as far as I know) included toolbars, This has been discussed in this forum previously on occasion. The "slim" version was the bare bones item (no toolbars). They used to have a "builds" page where you could choose the version of CCleaner. rather I am a user of ESET and an ex-user of CCleaner. I am not a representative of Piriform who owns CCleaner.
