Remember to check your CC settings when you install the latest version.

New CCleaner 5.38.6357 version released. See first post for more details.

I installed this latest version today and boom.... it installed Avast Antivirus. I was surprised and tried to uninstall it using Revo Uninstaller Pro. It went through all the motions but finally avast the pest remained even though it was removed from its list.

Tried to restore the system to a previous date 13 Dec 17. System Restore failed stating some incompatible Antivirus is preventing restoration and asking to be rerun after disabling that antivirus. I have Microsoft Security Essentials and Malware Bytes Antimalware . Which one?

I was getting mad and irritable ( my wife and daughter bore the brunt ). Tried to get rid of the Avast folder in C drive. Oh! I need to be an administrator. Invoked my higher powers but no, not enough. Again some incompatible antivirus overriding my administrative prowess.

Made a google search and avastclear was the answer Avast Uninstall Utility | Download aswClear for Avast Removal. Ok Safe mode. I started banging F8 key as the system booted to no avail. Entered msconfig and made changes in the boot tab to enter safe mode and ran avastclear and it started clearing all the junk it had dumped and ended with a warning that I have an incompatible antivirus. It named it too - Microsoft Security essentials.

In any case avast gone finally after driving me nuts. Now CCleaner Free of avast.

( I sure like many others missed unchecking Install Avast on the first screen)

jumanji - a Macrium Reflect image would have had you back to a "pre Avast" condition in minutes and saved you all that hassle.

As for myself - I won't be updating CCleaner past version 5.35.6210 (while I'm using Windows 7 at least).

I don't use installers for years, unless I do not have any other option, portable versions only. CC had portable version, if no more, try uniextract and copy ccleaner.exe only. If it doesn't work in portable mode I won't use it anymore. BTW I thought it was installing chrome? or is that the newest version I have not seen yet?

The 5.38 Portable and Slim versions are now available on the CCleaner download page.

Cannot begin you going nuts Jumanji and mate an easy way of getting rid of that sort of crap is just use the regediit and delete the ***** entries whatever they happen to be as I have found that even using unistall tools they still leave remnants in the reg.

In any case I use this Unchecky - Keeps your checkboxes clear save all that grief

So I use CC and do a thorough clean then go away for 10 days, PC unused apart from my wife who uses it to do online jigsaws and little else, she has her own user log on.
So yesterday I come home, do a little work on the PC, not a lot and this morning CC's little popup window tells me I can save 44GB of space. I mean how is that even possible?

 

[Ranger4]

OnTheRopes. CC has run in the background, after the computer started. If you don't want to do that you need to open CC & select Options & go through the list of Settings. There you will see a lot of alternatives you can select to suit yourself.

Hi Ranger, I understand it has run in the background but what I mean is how can the popup reckon to save 44GB of space when it has hardly been used since the last Clean?

 

[Ranger4]

It depends on what was accessed during the time your wife was using it & I am certainly not suggesting anything untoward, but perhaps it deleted Temp Internet Files or Offline Web Pages. It's easy for these files to exceed 44 GB. So it's not something to get too alarmed about.

What on earth are you suggesting?

Fair enough I'll quit being concerned, and thanks

 

[Ranger4]

You are welcome & thanks for getting back.

The CCleaner Alert dialog pops up when you can save more than 500 MB of disk space by deleting junk files. 44GB is a lot of junk if true! You can run the CCleaner analyze only and see what all it wants to delete. I have never let mine run to see the alert. The alert can be disabled if you find there is not 44GB of junk to be removed.

Thanks, the alert just popped up again telling me I could save 49+GB of space.
When I ran the analyser it said it could save 55MB

 

[A Guy]

I wonder if it's telling you you have programs and such you COULD remove to save space. Is your free space shrinking?
