    Recuva Portable

    @Andavari @hazelnut Sorry if I change my opinion here, but I had a longer conversation with a security specialist. The versions of Piriform products offered at PortableApps.com are not official versions from Piriform (they are 3rd party repacks, what could lead to some issues. Not only the issue, that the "unpack/installer isn't sometimes digitally signed" (what @Andavari mentioned above). Some update managers simply do not recognize these apps, so they can also inform me about available updates. And "unofficial" versions must not be used at work. I also switched to a new concept, when I set up my new system: I have as many applications as possible as portable versions (especially, when I don't use them very often, like Speccy, Recuva and Defraggler. This also includes many other tools, like KeePassXC, Screenpresso, Notepad++, WizFile, WizTree and many others. I have those apps (including the settings) in a folder on OneDrive, so I also can access them on the laptops of my wife and daughter and have the same configuration on all machines. I really love, that CCleaner is available as official portabel version at: https://www.ccleaner.com/ccleaner/builds Unfortunately all other applications are not available as official portabel versions: Defraggler: https://www.ccleaner.com/defraggler/builds Speccy: https://www.ccleaner.com/speccy/builds Recuva: https://www.ccleaner.com/recuva/builds For those apps I will continue using the least available portable version. I know that these versions are out-dated, but this is the only way, that I can use these tools (I don't want to switch to other tools). I really encourage the Piriform Staff to release the portable versions again.

    Recuva Portable

    @hazelnut Thank you for these links, they work perfectly. Are the other products (CCleaner and Defraggler) also avaible at PortableApps.com?

    Recuva Portable

    I want to use Recuva just on my PC in case I accidental delete a file. My boss will not allow to order it, he will tell me to uninstall it.

    Recuva Portable

    Thank you @hazelnut , for personal usage the files from PortableApps.com are fine (I am also a donator of PorttableApps.com, so I know them). But these are 3rd party repacks, not official builds from the vendors. At work I will never use 3rd party repacks, because they can contain malware (in the current repack or in a future version). I work in a huge company (more than 10.000 clients) and using 3rd party repacks is too dangerous. I don't want to risk my job, just because I infect the systems with malware.

    Recuva Portable

    Thank you, @Nergal I am a computer expert and unfortunately the "hotline" of many friends and family members. Here Speccy Portable would be useful to get their system specs. Recuva Portable would be very useful to recover files they have accidental deleted. And for those tasks a portable application would be the best option, because I don't have to install anything on their machines (the PC of my brother crashed, and he blamed me because I installed something, luckily it was just a portable application, so I could explain, that it was not my fault). I must admit, that my brother calls me at least 2 times a week for PC "issues" and that I am happy that he finds the power switch himself now. Therefore, portable versions are extremely important for my "supporting noobs and getting nothing for it" job. This is the second reason (besides my work PC) why I need portable versions. So, please don't forget Speccy Portable.

    Recuva Portable

    I really don't know the structures at Piriform (if forum moderators are employees or volunteers), but it would be perfect, if you @nukecad can encourage the developers to update all build pages with portable versions. This saves us all many many forum postings. Thank you very much!

    Recuva Portable

    It is a limitation by the company, but I have the permission to execute portable applications from one specific folder. Reason is, that I need some tools for my work task, so I have a special permission. This way only portable versions are working.

    Recuva Portable

    Before we try to "hack" the system or bypass any security restrictions: let me use the portable versions of Recuva, Defraggler and Speccy. CCleaner is luckily available as portable version, so I can use it without any problems.

    Recuva Portable

    I can execute portable applications (if they are placed in the folder "C:\Executables", but when I run any installer (no matter what filename it has), it is blocked (insufficient permissions). Yes, I also placed the installer into C:\Executables

    Recuva Portable

    I exactly know, what portable means, I have many apps as portable apps, because this is the only way I can execute them. Unfortunately, I have lost some portable apps, and Recuva is one of them (no, I have no backup of apps, but I do have backups on 3 external HDDS of my data). It is no longer downloadable, so no change to download even an older version.

    Recuva Portable

    For CCleaner there is the "Download builds" page (https://www.ccleaner.com/ccleaner/builds) available, where I can download CCleaner Portable. For Speccy this page is existing (https://www.ccleaner.com/speccy/builds) but does not contain and portable version. For Recuva and Defraggler these pages are even not existing. I can not install any apps on this machine, I only can use portable applications. So I can not use Speccy, Recuva and Defraggler anymore, what is really a pitty!
  12. Thank you for releasing the new version!
  13. Thank you lmacri for this information!
  14. When I see it properly, then there are also no portable versions of Speccy and Recuva available (at least not the current versions).
  15. Hello, CCleaner 6.02.9938 was released yesterday and there is also no portable version available. This makes me so sad, because I can only use the old version! OLLI
  16. The portable version is still not available, any idea when it will be released?
  17. At work I am not allowed to install any applications, but I can execute applications that are located in a specific folder. So I can only use CCleaner Portable at work. Recently version 6.0.9727 of CCleaner was released, but only the installer version. The portable file name is still ccsetup592.zip So, please release 6.0.9727 also as potable! Thank you! OLLI

    Recuva Portable

    I am using CCleaner and Recuva portable, because on this machine I can not install any applications. But using portable versions is working. So, when there is no more portable version of Recuva, then I have to search for an alternative tool (what would be sad, because Recuva has a good UX).

    Recuva Portable

    I have Recuva Portable on my PC and now I saw, that there is a new version available. Where do I get the portable version? Thank you for your help.
  20. I know that Paint.net can update itself, all applications that are found by CCleaner Software Updater on my system can update themselves: KeePass VirtualBox TeamViewer Skype Although these apps are able to update themselves, they are detected by the CCleaner Software Updater. So in my opinion all apps from FileHippo should be detected by CCleaner Software Updater.
  21. I had a quick look at FileHippo (I checked only some apps) and found the following apps there: Google Chrome FreeCommander XE 2015 (I have FreeCommander XE 2019) TeamSpeak Client 64-bit MailWasher paint.net FreeFileSync But none of them is listed in the Software Updater (all of them are listed in the Uninstall)
  22. Today I updated CCleaner to 5.61.7392 but here still only 4 applications are detected by the Software Updater. In the list Uninstall (also in CCleaner) there are 127 entries. I know many of them are system apps, but there are about 50 apps that should be detected by CCleander. So is the Software Updater neglected? Or is it dead even right after birth?
  23. Hello Piriform, in CCleaner you have the Software Updater, that tells me what updates are available on my system. When that feature was new, there were only some apps on my system detected. But now (several months and several updates later) there is still only a very small number of apps detected. If that feature should be successful (and if that feature should be an argument to buy CCleaner Pro) then you have to support at least 500 apps. It would be OK to see that there is a new version available and users have to download and install the update manually. But in the current state this feature is totally useless. I see a huge potential in this feature but you have to add more apps! Best regards OLLI
  24. If the Software Updater uses only the data from FileHippo then many products that I have installed are not detected and updated. On my PC CCleander found 8 applications and VulnDetect found 66 products. So will there be other resources or just FileHippo?
  25. Hello, I saw that the new version of CCleaner has the Software Updater. At the moment only 8 applications are detected on my system but I know that the number will be growing. But I would like to know if new apps (that are added to the list of supported applications) require a new version of CCleaner or if CCleaner can download the definitions from the servers? So do I have to wait one month (new version of CCleaner) or are they available in CCleander at once after they are released? Best regards OLLI
