![]() No mention of Trial versions, Smart Cleaning was disabled by default (I was upgrading from a previous version as I mentioned and it kept my settings) and I have NO related Startup item in Task Manager, the only time a CCleaner process appears is when I run it! I've just updated 3 PCs to CCleaner by downloading from the genuine site and then manually installing it by clicking on the downloaded ccsetup551.exe file.as I always have done.Īlso I run the installations "customised" to prevent CC options from being added to the Recycle Bin Context Menu. I'm now VERY aware of potential issues and look before I leap (install) ![]() ![]() I've always used the FREE version and because of the previous well-known issues I was still on CCleaner until a few days ago. I think people must be doing something wrong! Piriform seriously copped a slap around the head 'n shoulders last time they tried that, so let's see how many more users you lose continuing on with these antics. So whose bright idea was that to surreptitiously install that function? "Monitor"? Curiously I did not see anything during the reinstall asking whether any background monitoring was requested. Flushed that Trial version out of the system (Gee, isn't Glarysoft's Glary Utilities handy for that?.), went to your " " site and down'd the free "Standard installer" file.Īs an aside, just why the did you have to detail acquiring the Slim version to the OP there?Īnyway, installed what I downloaded, had a quick peek into the WinDoze Startup and there's now an interesting entry called " CCleaner64.exe /MONITOR" WHICH YOU CAN'T CLOSE UNLESS YOU KILL IT USING THE TASK MANAGER!Ĭ. When the Trial version first opens it shows the box asking to sign up to the Trial version. Which idiot there authorised the same filename for both Trial and Free versions - the same QA Manager that let old versions be released under new version filenames on more than one occasion over the past few of years perchance?ī. PS.OP got a "No" option? I didn'tĪpart from your latest version that did NOT indicate anywhere about being the Trial version before downloading and installing it, add these gems to your Hate Mail list:Ī. You can either tell ESET to ignore the warning, or try using the 'Slim' installer (which is the same but doesn't contain offers) from here: (Some AV's are getting a bit "Granny knows best" overprotective). ![]() Some AV's have also suddenly decided to take exception to CCleaner itself because it contains a Registry Cleaner - which can cause damage if used unnecessarily or incorrectly. Many free-to-use programmes (and some paid ones) include offers like that, it doesn't make them unsafe - If you don't want the offered software then simply don't accept the offer. (ESET likes to be dramatic).Īt the moment a few AV's have taken issue with the fact that the Standard CCleaner installer contains a 'bundled' offer for other software. You should note that the detection says ' Potentially unsafe application' which does not mean that what it is flagging is unsafe.ĪV's use that wording when there is something in the file that you may not want, although normally they say 'Potentially unwanted application'. ![]() However ESET may block it or simply remove it again, at least until ESET have a rethink and put their definitions back as there were. Try downloading and installing CCleaner using the 'Slim' installer from here (not the Standard installer): I'm guessing it's a knee jerk overreaction on the part of ESET. Yours is the first report I've seen of any AV actually removing the apps themselves, I've left an alert about it for the staff. It's supposed to have been sorted out with MS, at least partially, and the 'Standard' CCleaner installer has been slightly altered as well. It's ostensibly to do with the offers in the 'Standard' installers and nothing to do with the apps themselves once installed. It was only the installers, not the apps themselves, and MS Defender didn't go as far as removing anything. There has been something going on this week with Microsoft flagging the installers for CCleaner and the other Piriform apps as PUA's (Potentially Unwanted Applications). ![]()
