CCleaner 5.64.7613 is out (soon)

Trust no one
But with internet access blocked in windows firewall, it is still the best en most userfriendly cleaner in my opinion.

Thanks Gandalf.

Yeah, I do that too.

Just to make sure that I'm doing this correctly...

Is there any need to 'Allow' CCleaner in the firewall when using it?

Nope, there's no need for CCleaner to be allowed in the firewall in my opinion. The only functionality that is affected from blocking CCleaner is the automatic check for updates and the Software Updater under the Tools section.

Like @Protomartyr says the only things not working are their updater and the software updater.
Using SUMO and PatchMyPC for that.
SUMO (free) to check for updates including portable programs and PatchMYPC to update for example CCleaner.
Personally I have deleted all exes in the CCleaner directory, only keeping CCleaner64.exe and uninst.exe, so I only have to block CCleaner64.exe in my firewall.
