Yea, also one of the privacy boxes. Thanks again.

 

Will not! Happy with 4.19.4867, nice on the eyes before they modernized to the "Metro-look".
With Winapps2 very nice with out the spying.

 

I still have the 537 installer from 11/15/2017. Maybe i should go back to that one.

CCleaner v5.46.6652 Released (August 30, 2018)

Announcement
Download builds

Spoiler: Changes v5.46.6652

Privacy Settings

• The Monitoring feature and reporting of anonymous usage data can now be controlled separately (previously both were controlled by the ‘Active Monitoring’ checkbox)
• Added a separate control for the reporting of anonymous usage data
  
• Added a link to a Data Factsheet, which explains the data reported from CCleaner, why it’s reported, and what it’s used for (in summary, CCleaner only reports anonymous, statistical data for the purposes of maintaining and improving the app, and it does not report any personal information)

Smart Cleaning

• Renamed the ‘Monitoring’ feature to ‘Smart Cleaning’, to better describe its purpose (intelligent cleaning alerts) and underline the fact that it does not report usage data
• Reworded the ‘System Monitoring’ checkbox to ‘Tell me when there are junk files to clean’
• Reworded the ‘Browser Monitoring’ checkbox to ‘Enable automatic browser cleaning’
• Reworded the ‘Active Monitoring’ checkbox to ‘Enable Smart Cleaning’
• If Smart Cleaning is disabled, CCleaner’s background process will close and the feature will not run on startup (same behavior as in v5.44)

General

• Added ‘Minimize to System Tray’ option and restored previous minimize behavior
• Added ‘Exit’ option to the Tray Icon menu (closes the background process)
• Fixed various stability issues

 

I get this error ATM:

CCleaner 5.46 ships with clearer privacy options
https://www.ghacks.net/2018/08/30/ccleaner-5-46-ships-with-clearer-privacy-options/

 

I tested very briefly the portable version:

Options >> Cookies to keep

Why is this crap still here, Avast?

Tools >> Disk Analyzer
Why is my hard drive labeled as SSD?

Options >> Privacy >> Help improve CCleaner by sending anonymous usage data - unchecked
Why is CCleaner still trying to connect to Internet (3 different CIDRs)?

 

Is it because CCleaner moved to Avast headquarters? And now it need to connect to Avast?

 

Well, for me trust is lost anyway...

 

"The feature was named Monitoring previously but the company decided to rename it to make its purpose clearer. Piriform notes that Smart Cleaning does not report usage data when it is enabled.

CCleaner users can disable Smart Cleaning entirely in the new version. CCleaner's background process will close when that is done and Smart Cleaning won't run automatically anymore on system start."

 

thank you Mood

 

I didn't get offered Avast on any of my machines today. Maybe because I blocked the installer from connecting?

 

Hi to All.
Do you believe it is necessary to clean up user data from non-standard Mozilla Browsers?

TH.

 

All of these recent ups and downs for CCleaner in the past year or so kind of remind me of a roller coaster many ways.

@stapp Thanks for the heads up.
