It's been around for a long time. See the Wikipedia info about it.

See here why the answer is no: http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=36419

A new member posting some trivia. Hope this doesn't end up as spam, or worse weird spam.

It would've helped prove what you've stated had you taken a screenshot of CCleaner, it has that "text log" shown on screen immediately after it runs the cleaner which would've showed what it deleted.

When I looked at what it cleaned I saw that which was why I suggested unticking/disabling the cleaning of Office 2010.

I'd say just go ahead and post them in Software, since it doesn't have its own forum section.

The best way I can explain this is via these instructions - I did say it was particular in excluding some things. What I had to do a long time ago was have all the settings stored in ccleaner.ini instead of the registry, it's much easier to edit the settings with Notepad when they're all in the INI: 1. Open CCleaner. 2. Go into 'Options > Advanced' and click 'Save all settings to INI file' After having CCleaner 'Save all settings to INI file': 1. Re-input your Exclusion again, then close CCleaner. 2. Open the ccleaner.ini file located in the folder where CCleaner is installed. 3. At the end of your exclude file/path paste this at the very end of it: \|*.* 4. Save the INI file. For whatever reason and I don't know why that upperslash | (if that's what it's called) is needed! ------------ So this whole folder path you've been trying to exclude won't get excluded because the upperslash | is missing: C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Office\Recent\*.* It needs to become this: C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Office\Recent\|*.* ------------ You're also trying to exclude a single file which also won't work because the upperslash | is missing: C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Office\Recent\MyExcelFile.xlsx.LNK It needs to become this: C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Office\Recent\|MyExcelFile.xlsx.LNK ------------ Note that I don't know how CCleaner will treat a "Recent" folder, and don't know if it will honor the exclude even if it's inputted correctly. You may still need to untick Office 2010 so that CCleaner won't clean any of it. I would be nice if Piriform would finally eliminate the need for the upperslash! ------------ Edit: Examples of how this would look in ccleaner.ini (you could just copy+paste this and then edit the username part by inputting your actual username -- and do note the excludes are numbered like Exclude1, Exclude2, etc.): Exclude1=PATH|C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Office\Recent\|*.* Exclude2=FILE|C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Office\Recent\|MyExcelFile.xlsx.LNK

You should be able to stop it by unticking in CCleaner: Office 2010 Note that disabling the Office 2010 cleaner will mean that CCleaner won't clean it at all. This is why you'd need to untick it, it's because the recent documents are in the Office 2010 cleaner: FileKey1=%AppData%\Microsoft\Office\Recent|*.* Edit: That exclude that mta posted might work this way instead (since CCleaner is rather particular to get some excludes to properly work): C:\Users\Your User Profile Name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Office\Recent\|*.*

There's nothing to "check / uncheck" because it isn't in the list of cleaning routines. It is instead a manually operated option located in 'Tools > System Restore'.

In the pictures Hazelnut linked to one had me thinking a very Homer Simpson line: Mmm, donuts. One of those clouds reminded me a white powdered donut.

That's part of CCleaner that could be dangerous to your PC if you don't know what you're doing. I'd recommend reading here which is another recent topic about it: http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=43635

You need to supply more information for bug reporting: * CCleaner version * Windows version

I'd recommend searching Microsoft's site for the repair instructions (I did find an article how to repair it but it was for Office 2003). Search here: https://support.office.com/

It's certainly nice that AVG can stop it, some antivirus companies steer clear of doing such things possibly fearing being sued. Although OpenCandy in installers is the least of things I'd worry about.

What's in the code below was taken from the community winapp2.ini additions. I wonder if this is what you're needing and wanting CCleaner to do -- but I haven't a clue since I don't use Google Chrome. [Installer*] LangSecRef=3029 SpecialDetect=DET_CHROME Default=False Warning=Running this may remove Chrome's ability to automatically update to future versions on some computers. FileKey1=%LocalAppData%\Google\Chrome*\Application\*\Installer|*.7z|RECURSE FileKey2=%ProgramFiles%\Google\Chrome*\Application\*\Installer|*.7z|RECURSE FileKey3=%LocalAppData%\Google\Update\*\*\Installer|*.7z|RECURSE FileKey4=%ProgramFiles%\Google\Update\*\*\Installer|*.7z|RECURSE FileKey5=%ProgramFiles%\|GUT*tmp

Well it's been 7 months at this point that we've complained about the new GUI design, so based upon that timescale the request of the old/classic GUI likely won't be coming back.

Some things to try: * Manually delete the file. * Start Windows in Safe Mode and run CCleaner while in Safe Mode.

A "Minor improvement" isn't going to give the old GUI back as it wouldn't be a "minor" change or addition. If they were to give an option for the old GUI I'd imagine they'd say exactly that without being vague.

Moved to the Suggestions forum since it technically isn't a bug per say.

I know it's a "continuation/repeat" I don't have Alzheimer yet, and the suggestion to post in this forum area was a general one for anyone reading and wasn't really aimed at just the OP.

winapp2.ini entries are also a good way to extend the cleaning beyond what CCleaner does by default.

That isn't enough settings for the registry, makes me think you're using the INI for your settings instead. To find out: * Open CCleaner and go into: Options > Advanced. * If you have a tick next to "Save all settings to INI file" then you should have a ccleaner.ini file located in the folder where CCleaner is installed.

You stated you had malware on the computer that you had thought you cleaned. Only thing is CCleaner deletes temporary files from Temp folders where allot of malware resides, so it could be feasible that some malware won't let cleaning software run that would delete its files.

OpenCandy, hmm I don't know because it's wrapped "in a wrapper" hidden inside installers. Just saying.
