Thanks. Updated and working smoothly.

 

Thanks for the tip.

 

For those waiting on the slim build this is why is it released later.

 

The link just says that it is not why.

 

Don't forget CCenhancer. Makes CCleaner far far more useful, and indepth. CCleaner is actually a decent privacy tool when used with Enhancer. I usually find an addition 1-5GIGS of logs when I enhance CCleaner on a machine..

The only downside to CCEnhancer is that you cannot uninstall its components without removing CCleaner as well, unless you are an expert user who knows how to tinker with the Initialization file. Moreover, it is not possible to select which modules to install. Nevertheless, CCEnhancer certainly pleases all users who want to enhance the functionality of Ccleaner, thanks to its overall simplicity and rich database.

 

thanks a lot
but do they add wipe free space drivers with zero method?

 

You can also enhance CCleaner cleaning ability by adding winapp2.ini

One quick question:

Why is CCleaner requesting Internet access by way of UDP port 53?

 

Probably checking your CCleaner version against the latest release so as to notify you of an update?

Although I only quickly checked, my CCleaner didn't phone outwards during launch nor a scan.

Try sniffing and see what's revealed. TCP/IP address? URL?

Please let us know as this is interesting.

 

In CCleaner settings I have (Automatically check for updates to CCleaner) unchecked.
CCleaner isn't checking for new updates.

When I click on Run Cleaner button CCleaner.exe wants Internet access outbound to UDP remote
port 53. Local Port is 65535.

I have firewall set to block port 53 and CCleaner finishes cleaning it's task I've set it
to do. PID is 456

 

I've used 3 different sniffers (mainly Wireshark) & Process Explorer and I've failed to see what you've related and I've unticked "Automatically check for updates to CCleaner" in CCleaner Settings. Of course our PIDs are unlikely to be the same for my 64-bit CCleaner v4.11.4619. Left-clicking "Run Cleaner" doesn't arouse any network activities on my Win 7 Pro 64-bit SP1 OEM system.

I have absolutely no reason to disbelieve what you observe, but for now I need to do more homework. I'll certainly follow-up here if I learn more.

 

Forgive me for jumping in with an idea here, as I'm no expert, but got interested reading this, as I have CCleaner set similarly.
I was wondering if it could be possible that CCleaner is attempting to relay the details of what it's about to delete, unless prevented?

Just a thought.

 

Hello Dermot7:

Although @Compu KTed appears to have caught CCleaner phoning home, I had my Wireshark continually looking at my Internet traffic while I started a CCleaner "Run Cleaner".

I had Wireshark 1.10.5 running default and without filters while only 'looking' at my system's Ethernet adapter. It only took a few tries to catch my system perfectly idle with regards to Internet traffic while I started the CCleaner scan.

Wireshark simply had absolutely zero packet captures in those brief periods.

I would certainly welcome a similar test from someone else.

 

Thanks very much 1PW, for the easy-to-understand explanation
Best not to speculate etc. and see if anyone can confirm or even elaborate on any of this.
Thanks

 

Have CCleaner v407.4369 installed (not latest version)
Checked CCleaner forum but couldn't find anything.
Have UDP port 53 connecting to my 2 DNS Servers.
PID number changes according to task manager so can't use 456.
No other app that I'm aware of is requesting UDP port 53 outbound internet connection
except CCleaner.exe.

If CCleaner is phoning home why on UDP Port 53 and not a TCP port? Is it phoning home?
DNS servers run on UDP port 53.(default)
Port 53 has TCP/UDP protocols if I'm correct.

Don't know about apps that have a DNS address coded in them and haven't tried Wireshark.
This is very puzzling.

 

Hello Compu KTed:

I'm sure you may have good reason for not updating to CCleaner 4.11.4619, however would you consider updating in this case so as to rule out undiscovered issues?

If you do, but later you must return to v4.07.4369, FileHippo amongst others are reputable repositories for fallback.

HTH

 

Hi 1PW:

When I do update CCleaner I update to the slim version which comes out later than the
standard version.
I however did install CCleaner v.4.10.4570 (newer version than what I had)
Same results as before (UDP port 53 wants internet access out)

I dug deeper and looked at CCleaner screen as it was cleaning and noticed System DNS cache
on screen. Then thought of looking into CCleaner settings and there was the answer.
I had under Windows > System > DNS Cache CHECKED. This is causing my firewall to popup the
UDP port 53 access message. If I uncheck DNS Cache in CCleaner settings no popup message.

Thanks to all who responded.

 

Good find! Congratulations!

 

thanks for the information

 

I dislike cleaner now because I got thrown off the forum by an idiot moderator and the fact that ccleaner wipe free space leaves filetips in the $MFT

 

Do not even mention it please, I had to reinstall Windows in order to fix, what CCEnhancer did. The same happened about a year ago and I did not learn the lesson.

 

Slim's up!

 

Thanks for posting this - makes some of us check more closely into some ot these apps before installing them. Many problems are self-inflicted.

 

hi
may i know what are filetips?

i'm interested , does ccleaner wipe free space 00 zero wipe?
