Advice Request CCLeaner Pro - Auto Opt In To Share Info

[Cortex]

Just looked when my Pro licence expires & it's July, after then I shan't renew & I'm certainly not using the ‘Free’ version. I do have a lifetime licence for Wise365, the reason for my seething was basically that the default was all opt in default. Can't accept that, been using CCleaner since it was donation ware but moving on now. Devious from my point of view.

I ran Privacy Eraser first then CCleaner, and CCleaner found nothing on Google Chrome after Privacy Eraser deleted all the Google Chrome junks. Did you check everything under Google Chrome except the Compact Database in Privacy Eraser?

Thanks, I will retry when I'm at home again.

did you try CCleaner with CCenhancer?
without ccenhancer, ccleaner is nothing
also, we have to uncheck "only delete files in temporary folders older than 24 hours"

the other advantages of ccleaner over the others are there is a portable version and it can be scheduled to run quite easily, same as wise disk cleaner

Are you guys using the free version, I am using it and cannot uncheck these boxes?

Apparently it's because no identifiable information is gathered from free users. So, I guess checking or unchecking the boxes wouldn't matter.

And it's solved by a product update:

Version History
v5.43.6522 (25 May 2018)

- Amended Privacy menu in CCleaner Free to include opt out of sharing usage data with third parties for analytics purposes

I just removed ccleaner from my system, gone over to wise care 365. tired and sick of avast... i mean ccleaner

And it's solved by a product update:

You mean they added the menu to the free version? I just updated and already had the option in pro version.

Thanks, I have now unticked those checkboxes.
Avast is slowly killing CCleaner with tricks like this...
Unfortunately I have not found a better and as user friendly replacement.

I use PrivaZer and I can say is the best privacy cleaner

CCleaner - Version History

New update:

You can now option out of sharing usage with third parties in CCleaner Free.

The menu was already there in the free version, but you couldn't untick the boxes like in the pro version.

Yes, this is one of the avast's fault

There was an update for Pro too yesterday & from initial check it looks like the spying is now unchecked by default as opposed to checked by default, maybe someone listens?
