Windows 10: Beware CCleaner installation!

Hi Hillguy, Of course you're right. I'm blind as a bat and just hit 'Customize' without looking round properly first.

 

The problem is, that it is a scripted offer, sometimes it just displayed as a white background, but it is there.

No, you do not have to click on Customize, to see the offers, it should be right there at start.

The dates can be can be changed, but better yet, just delete the root folder:

Code:

 Code: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Google[/quote]  
 Doing so has no impact on CCleaner, or anything else for that matter.

 

Why bother with ccleaner? I don't see a reason to do so. And this thread gives reason not to!

Anyone want to play 3rd party crapps? Roll the dice! *chuckle

 

Well i know it doesn't alert if have Avast already installed on system like i do on most of the household systems, instead offers Chrome if Chrome not already installed, which is as 3rd backup browser on all the systems. as for Ccleaner ability to use it to clean temp files and browser history with one go, is very convinent, and therefore i continue using it til i see a reason not to

This is the one I use (Technician Edition) / No avast *chuckle

 

Just download and use the portable version with no installer:
CCleaner - Builds

 

I always wait for the Slim build.

 

I've Revo Uninstaller, but it is unable to detect AVAST & uninstall it. I am struck up with AVAST downloaded accidentally.

 

Ccleaner update is back to installing Avast without warning. Their is no option to select out of Avast.

Avast Uninstall Utility | Download aswClear for Avast Removal

Download and then run in safe mode.

 

The Avast removal tool does not remove everything. Revo does not remove everything. Running a search using regedit does remove everything but takes some time to do so.

I'll be thankful to learn about using regedit in this particular case.

 

OTOH, if you wait a week (7 days exactly) after each new CCleaner release comes out, there's a "Slim" version added to the CCleaner Builds page. It has no added software in it whatsoever. I always wait for this version to appear, and perhaps you should, too!
HTH,
