Latest CCleaner Version Released

Is CCleaner Portable 5.32.6129 (the last version before the virus infection and the Avast takeover) any better than the newest version privacy-wise?

I haven't updated it since CCleaner Slim 4.17.4808

it is. I have v5.32 installed on some old PCs using win7 and it sometimes runs faster than the newest versions

There is an auto-update executable (CCupdate.exe) in your CCleaner folder that allows Piriform to update to the latest version without permission from users. If you delete the executable, it shouldn't update, or so I'm been informed. This is being done across the board affecting all users who run an older version of CCleaner.

I found a CCleaner Update task in the Task Scheduler.
I've disabled it, so it shouldn't happen again.

CCleaner 5.47 has been pulled according to Piriforms website due to a bug regarding usage data.


As the saying goes, fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, thrice or more then shame on me.

Is it possible to get that version still?
