  1. With the release today of 5.79.8704 Wipe Free Space is no longer disabled.

    https://www.ccleaner.com/knowledge/ccleaner-v5798704

     We’re committed to providing the safest PC cleaner on the market. We recently disabled Wipe Free Space while we investigated reports of this feature wiping more than free space. After testing this feature thoroughly, we weren’t able to reproduce the behavior described or find any faults in this feature, so we are re-enabling it with some diagnostics reporting to catch any situations like those described.

    Thanks for the observation, Anda. I didn't know that.

    It does make you wonder exactly why they would produce a country-specific storage device. Seems extremely unlikely that there's anything nefarious going on here. I think Samsung just goofed.

    We'll see what happens when my new SSDs arrive.

    A little bit of info here on the /AM title of SSD

    This glitch has been going on for a while, to save you a bit of searching here are some previous threads about it:

    I've occasionally seen it myself, but it's intermittent and very infrequent.
    So it's seemingly impossible to replicate reliably.
    Best of luck tracking it down.

     

     

    Just sent Rosita the links earlier !!

    Nuecad,

    Today I ran CCleaner and restarted the PC. Then turned off all AV and Firewalls and attempted to download the Browser.

    Success !!!!  I'm back up and running. Thank you for your help.

    Jim

    Jim you should never turn off all your protection, (av and firewall)  and then download something from the internet.

  5. The personal data of over 500 million Facebook users has been posted online in a low-level hacking forum.
    The data includes phone numbers, full names, location, email address, and biographical information.
    Security researchers warn that the data could be used by hackers to impersonate people and commit fraud.

  6. Google translate..

    There is a way to test the functionality in Firefox:

    Select in the Kamo settings for "Warning about blocked trekking attempts" -> "On every attempt".

    Then a message will appear at the bottom right of the screen every time you try to go trekking

    I installed the free version of CC cleaner a few months ago. I have never been able to clean free space on my computer drives (Windows 10) but have always been able to wipe free space on flash cards etc. Has something changed or has a trial period expired or something? I haven't changed any settings to my knowledge

    Wipe Free Space option disabled in this version

    We’re committed to providing the safest PC cleaner on the market. That’s why, after receiving reports that the ‘Wipe Free Space’ optional cleaning setting is erasing more than it should do in some cases, we have disabled it while we complete our investigations

    Will the use of Drive Wiper help prevent crash dumps?

     

    How often should one use Drive Wiper? I've read where the over use of Drive Wiper can hurt a hard drive.

     

    Note that in the latest version of CCleaner 5.78 released today it says..
