Another move to reduce a possibility of a user downloading their slim version of CCleaner.

Just noticed these builds.

What's the slim build? It says no toolbar, but I don't know what toolbar is installed with the standard version to begin with.

Standard version tries to install Google Chrome with a Google toolbar for Internet Explorer if it detects that Chrome is not installed on the system. If it detects that Chrome is installed on the system, then it suggests installing Avast AV if Avast isn't currently installed.
Slim version doesn't have those.

Oh okay, I thought it was a slimmed down version of the software itself. I always uncheck those anyway. I miss lightweight software.

Downloaded and installed the latest version.Then I disabled the Monitoring option but the CC system tray icon still remains active. Even when I restart the program. 2. Privacy options are gone.

Go to settings and untick Show Ccleaner in the Windows notification area. Ccleaner icon will be removed from the system tray.

CCleaner is still running in the background. Task manager confirms it. What have they done with this version...

- CCleaner running in the background.
- You can't right click on CCleaner in the system tray to exit.
- No privacy option. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing.

Okay, I can confirm that it re-enables Skip UAC warning and active monitoring after each restart unless you disable it from startup from both task manager and within CCleaner itself and also disable Skip UAC warning and active monitoring. At this point, it behaves more like a malicious program so disappointed.

I'm avoiding this latest update.

I believe you won't have any problems like that if you just use the portable version:

CCleaner 5.45
“Improved”, “Fixed”
“CCleaner now sends a heartbeat every 12 hours which reports up-to-date usage statistics to allow for faster delivery of bug fixes and product improvements”
AFAIK this is only the installed version not the portable version. I watched the portable with Wireshark and it never attempted an network/internet connection.
Download (I use the portable version)

I personally use the portable (professional) version.

I will pass on CCleaner these days and I will stick to Wise Disk Cleaner - Free Disk Cleanup and Defrag Tool

Sticking with the portable version for now. Still prefer CCleaner above the various alternatives. They have not messed with the portable version yet.

What is the difference between standard and portable version? I'm only adding cookies to exclusions, I don't use any other functions besides cleaning. Will the portable version do the work for me? Any cons with portable?

I believe there are no cons. Like with all portable programs there are no startmenu shortcuts created because you don't install it.

You need to use the Portable build to have Monitoring disabled by default.

I have always used ccleaner to remove browsing history/cookies, nowadays i just use browser that does this job in-exit

After avast bought them, ccleaner has gone downhill i just dont like all that bloat wich comes with it, ads etc, have to manually remove it from task manager and so on

After latest update, they dont have privacy option on/off so im just gonna uninstall whole software for now

I use the PortableApps.com version. All monitoring options are indeed greyed out.
