  1. Here's more about CleanUp! Source : http://majorgeeks.com/CleanUp_d4895.html Other very bad experiences with that crap called Cleanup! Source : http://www.commentcamarche.net/forum/affic...l-apres-cleanup Here's a translation from french : Hello, I downloaded CleanUp from your website, according to your recomendations. It installed properly and cleaned that much that I never could restart my PC by any available means. I had to install Windows again with a complete loss of my personnal datas. Question : What happened ? Can anyone give me a reason to such a total bug ? Thanks.
  2. First of all, I would like to apologize because I stupidely mistook CCleaner with... CLEANUP! I downloaded and installed Cleanup! a few month ago but never used it until last week... I also downloaded CCleaner a few hours before I crashed my PC, but ran CleanUp! first thinking it was CCleaner... In a word, I take back all that I said about CCleaner, just because CCleaner has nothing to do with my problem. I also thank those who tried to help that quickly. To go back to the real source of my problem, many CleanUp! users have encountered the SAME problem after using that crap. They all get the same black screen with the arrow cursor in the middle of it, then nothing at all. They also report a complete system crash with no safe mode at all to try to recover from such a mess... A perfect total crash that has no other solution but reinstall a brand new Windows, softwares and so on. In case you would be interested, please read the Cleanup! forum about that problem, then read the "answer" from the author... You will then understand that I won't expect much from him, just because many others are still waiting something like a response to that f****** problem since 2006... http://forums.stevengould.org/viewtopic.php?t=243 This VERY BAD EXPERIENCE tells me that I will use CCleaner in my new Windows XP. It also tells me that I will be more carefull with the softwares I download...
  3. Hello Davey, I downloaded CCleaner direct from here. http://www.01net.com/telecharger/windows/U...s/img32599.html I did install CCleaner in my PC, and never install any other program of that kind before, just because I used to delete crap files manuallly. I used CCleaner once yesterday, for less than 4 minutes, and here's the result. No "rogue program from an innocent looking site", but CCleaner. 01net.com is one of the MAJOR site in France dealing with new technologies, internet and computers. http://www.01net.com/telecharger/windows/U...s/img32599.html No... Windows XP SP2, Firefox, AMD Athlon 3800+ Dual core / 2 Go Ram. Bitdefender The computer CCleaner crashed in less than 4 minutes is my main working tool, and I'm really worried. There are no games, gizmos, or "hazardous" software installed on it. I had finished working on a video montage. Then I decided to clean up my hard disks before I quit my office. Thank you for your help.
  4. Hello YoKenny, First of all, thank you for your help ! My operating system is a Windows XP SP2 with 2G0 Ram memory. Updates are made frequently using Microsoft update. My CPU is an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ No overclocking, no "customisation", ram accelarators or things like that : every thing is very "basic" on my PC. Before I try the Windows Recovery Console, I would like to try to restore the files that where deleted by CCleaner, with CCleaner if possible, but I don't know if it is possible, and how ? In my case, the DOS boot sequence is OK. My hard drive is recognised as a bootable disk and the boot sequence starts very normally until Windows starts to load. My "black screen" with the arrow cursor is nothing but the Windows desktop trying to load, and that's where Windows stops loading. I then got a black screen with the arrow cursor, then nothing... At this point, I can't do anything more that moving the cursor across the screen. My keyboard also freezes (no lights for caps locks, no CtrlAltSup to reboot) I've been watching the Internet to see if someone ever had such a problem using CCleaner, and found a case with exactly the same symptoms. No solutions were reported to the problem... I'm trying to find back this other case. I will link it here as soon as I retrieve it. Thanks again for your help.
  5. EDIT Milou64 - 29/07/08 : It finally appears that CCleaner is NOT involved at ALL, and I apologize for this confusion... CLEANUP! is the only responsible, and still goes crashing PCs since 2006 in a way that defies the worst virus ever... Please read this if you want to know more about this CCleaner "like"... http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?s=&amp...st&p=109851 then the Cleanup! forum, with a very special attention to the author's "response" about such a mess... http://forums.stevengould.org/viewtopic.php?t=243 Hi, Excuse me for my english, I will try to make myself as clear as possible. Two days ago, a friend of mine told me about CCleaner, then I installed the software on my PC. I ran it yesterday for the first time. I then asked CCleaner to delete : - temporary internet files - the "prefetch" directory - *.tmp files and *.bak files I asked NONE of the "advanced" options or any other "dangerous" option. I just wanted to test the software to clean ordinary "crap files" I ordinary clean manually. CCleaner did its job and erased about 100Mo, then it displayed the log screen ? I got very surprised that it asked me to log because I never "log" of any kind using Windows XP ! I thought all of this was "normal" procedure, then I logged-on using the only account available on the log screen. I thought I then will go back to the Windows desktop, but since that moment, I cannot boot my PC. When I try to boot, everything loads until the Windows Welcome Screen appears, and then the system halts completely. I tried to boot using any of the safe modes available. I tried them all but the system always freezes. I can't even read the content of C: using DOS mode just because it also freezes ! It stops loading Windows after the Welcome Screen, and in the best case, it goes a little further on, when Windows tries to display the desktop. In that case, I get a black screen with the arrow cursor in the middle of it, and then the loading process stops. I got a black screen with an arrow cursor I can move across the screen, then nothing... I've been trying boot sequences for hours with no results at all. In a word, my PC is completely crashed... I will buy a new hard drive this afternoon then install a Windows XP on it. I will then be able to read my former hard drive to try to recover from this nightmare, but I really don't know HOW TO RECOVER FROM THE SITUATION BEFORE I LAUNCHED CCleaner ? Is there a procedure to restore all the files CCleaner deleted, so that I can reboot with my former hard drive and get everything back as it was before I use that software ? Thank you very much in advance for any help of any kind.
