  1. Are they sure installing the update removes the malware infection? I’ve read that it is recommended to reformat your hard drive to remove all traces. Can you advise?

    BTW hope they keep the portable version alive…

  3. It seems that 5.38 doesn’t offer a portable version. Extracting the standard installer with 7zip reveals files that were not present in the previous version, is this the Avast way of doing things? Just take the files you need from the installer and put them in your previous install or portable version and you’re good to go.

  4. CCleaner 5.39.6399
    Disk Analyzer:
    – Fixed a rare crash where a UI layer was still active.
    General:
    – Minor user interface improvements
    – Minor bug fixes

  5. I updated the free version of CCleaner to 5.39.6399 the other day and seem to have a problem after the this update, although i’m not absolutely sure if it’s related. I’m on Windows 7 Home Premium (Version 6.1, Build 7601: Service Pack 1). Is anyone else having a problem after this update where the Windows Vault in Windows Credential Manager is wiped clean anytime they reboot their computer, even without running CCleaner? I am unable to restart my computer without going through the Admin login and updating my password in order to get into my user profile. Also, when I reboot Outlook I now have to reload all my email passwords. Thanks.

  6. My OS is Windows 7 Home Premium. When downloading “new” copy from File Hippo it comes bundled with Avast and “no way” to deselect it. You just need to uninstall Avast if you are already use an antivirus. Disappointed in CCleaner for doing this.

  8. Latest version of CCleaner hijacks my Chrome Browser with Trovi.com (associated with Bing)!
    BAD

  9. VG, I updated CCleaner to v5.45 and it always runs in background. It tried to disable CCleaner from startup list (Windows Task Manager) but it enables itself. Any way to fix this.

  10. having same issue as sumit: its always running in the background. even when selected not to do so. i even disabled it in the startup, same thing. i did download it with the avast bundle. maybe its a fake copy

  11. It was a known issue in version 5.45, that’s why the team pulled the new version. Now the latest version is 5.44. So uninstall 5.45 version and reinstall 5.44 version.

  12. Hey guys there is a bug here and we’re hotfixing it now. v5.46 has been restored in the meantime.

    General
    This release contains an important security update and some minor bug fixes and UI updates

  16. Hey VG, Hope you are doing well, Not updating the topic? V5.76 released on January 13.
    All right,

  17. Thank you VG for the latest release of ccleaner v5.77 and all your help and support over the years. I hope you carry on for a long time as i am very grateful for every thing you do for me and many other people.

  18. I tried to use this version several times but it just keeps freezing up my laptop. Continuously get error messages “ccleaner not responding, shut down program or wait for page to respond.” I shut down all other programs first but this ccleaner is a real resource hog!

  19. This slim version v5.91.9537 freezes up my laptop every time I try to run clean after a scan. Never had this problem before with previous versions.
