Maybe you block 'shepherd.ff.avast.com`? I block all outgoing connections for CCleaner64.exe and have not yet seen a paywall. After install CCleaner does some micro patching in the background (also moving the registry tab to Tools). https://community.ccleaner.com/topic/67177-ccleaner-62411060-portable-registry-tab-hasnt-moved/
Re the above CCleaner release (6.25.11131) please see here https://community.ccleaner.com/topic/67387-ccleaner-62511131-released-bug-fix/
I'm not sure if this is a permanent change, but several users who have updated their “standard” installation of CCleaner Free to v6.25.11131 (rel. 01-Jul-2024) are now reporting that Custom Clean is working again - see recent posts in steambc’s topic Custom Clean now only works with Pro License? in the CCleaner forum. Moderator nukcade also posted <here> today in that same topic that they made no changes on their end to the previous CCleaner Free v6.25.11093 (rel. 19-Jun-2024) and that Custom Clean is once again working in v6.25.11093. I can’t test myself because Custom Clean has always run correctly for me in the previous CCleaner Free Portable v6.25.11093. Note that I use a heavily modified version of CCleaner Free Portable - I delete all .dll and .exe files bundled inside the Portable .zip file except CCleaner64.exe (i.e., I only keep 3 files needed to run Custom Clean, the registry cleaner, and manage my system restore points - namely, the latest CCleaner64.exe, portable.dat, and the ccleaner.ini configuration file I used with the previous release) and have created custom inbound and outbound blocks in my firewall for CCleaner64.exe. ----------- Dell Inspiron 15 5584 * 64-bit Win 10 Pro v22H2 build 19045.4529 * Firefox v127.0.2 * Microsoft Defender v4.18.24050.7-1.1.24050.5 * Malwarebytes Premium v5.1.6.117-1.0.1270 * Macrium Reflect Free v8.0.7783 * CCleaner Free Portable v6.25.11093

CCleaner .1169 pro occasionally pops up a notification asking if you want to try cleaning google cloud drive files. I have not found a way to turn that off and stop it happening. I have logged a support case with CC, so far no reply.
Some info here which may help https://community.ccleaner.com/topic/67524-cclearner-to-scan-google-docs/#comment-349864 https://support.ccleaner.com/s/article/learn-more-about-cloud-drive-cleaner?language=en_US

Seems that CCleaner forums are moving to Discourse. https://community.ccleaner.com/topi...ite-upgrade-and-intermittent-downtime-notice/
CCleaner website in read only mode for a week. Then password reset for forum will be required. https://community.ccleaner.com/topi...c-on-11th-september-until-8pm/#comment-351023
Well what a surprise, they didn't manage to do it even taking a full week - and now want another week.

Might be a bit tricky to install it at the moment as there is no way to report any bugs on the forum.

Anyone else having issues with CCleaner not working with Windows 11 24H2? Does not seem to be clearing out browser history etc with MS Edge.
