[QUOTE="Protomartyr, post: 883197, member: 82599"] This is a copy and paste from a previous post of mine in another cleaner thread but still applies: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I use CCleaner with CCEnhancer (unofficial add-on) that enables support for more programs. CCleaner used to be just a simple and reliable cleaner but has been adding extra features or trying to bundle software that I don't need. Some things I do: [LIST] [*]I usually get the [B]slim installer[/B] from [URL='https://www.ccleaner.com/ccleaner/builds']the builds page[/URL] instead of the main page. The portable installer is also on that page if you prefer that version. [*]Block [B]CCleaner.exe[/B] and [B]CCleaner64.exe[/B] from phoning home in Windows firewall. [*]Delete [B]CCUpdate.exe[/B] which is the emergency updater for the program. It has the tendency to trip Windows Controlled Folder Access feature so I deleted the updater to stop getting notifications that it was blocked. I use SUMo (Software Update Monitor) to keep my programs up to date anyways so I don't need the updater from CCleaner. [*]Disable any monitoring in the [B]Monitoring[/B] tab under settings. I don't need it or want it running in the background. [/LIST] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- With that said, I'll probably be ditching CCleaner and transition to just using Storage Sense once the new configuration options are implemented. On Linux I use BleachBit. [/QUOTE]
