Good advice! When a new version is released look in the Announcements area of the forum for the version you've downloaded. For the past few months they've been posting the checksums/hashes of the downloads that you can compare against to insure you're getting the actual official files released by Piriform/Avast. See the most recent release announcement located here for an example, it lists the checksums/hashes in the post.

This has been working lately for some people: https://forum.piriform.com/topic/53111-fail-to-install-ccleaner-pro-v5516939/?do=findComment&comment=302097

Restore Points and registry backup programs that can restore the registry won't work to undo hardware (CD/DVD, hard disk) getting stuck in PIO mode.

Try this, seems to be working for allot of people lately: https://forum.piriform.com/topic/53111-fail-to-install-ccleaner-pro-v5516939/?do=findComment&comment=302097 P.S. It's better to post an image format like .gif, .jpg, .png on forums, people are very leary about opening a PDF from an unknown source as that can result into getting a malware infection.

It sounded exactly like a PIO mode issue and it was (although it could've been worse such as a hard disk issue, and still could be because of that since hard disks don't usually get stuck in PIO mode). If you use that XP system regularly it helps to once per week (or once every two weeks) make sure it's in the preferred faster DMA Mode, here's instructions that don't require editing the registry: https://forum.piriform.com/topic/38431-restoring-dma-mode-in-windows/

Maybe that 32GB SD card has some backup/recovery partition those mp4 files are restored from. The Disk Management tool built into Windows "may or may not help", however if you use it be very careful because it's too easy to accidentally select the wrong disk such as a disk installed in the computer and destroy the data on it.

I've tested it on my system (Win10 v1803) and can't repeat it, it's working correct for me.

Mine is at 825MB in total size on Win10 so not an issue yet. With all the cloud this and that I wonder why some things that would get stored locally can't just be fetched from Microsoft in the "cloud" if it's missing, instead of consuming allot of local storage space. Then again I might be dreaming about an OS that will never exist because they can't even make Windows remember what most would deem simple like opening certain dialog boxes in the same user chosen place, still a mess for decades.

It sometimes depends upon the version of them, one might guess it wrong, while another (older or newer) will be correct - based upon what some people have reported.

Only they can answer that question.

Ungrateful crap like this is why helping people in general is getting very old. As with most problems just Google it is relevant.

Even their defrag tool Defraggler can detect the drive incorrectly as seen here. It's something for them to fix.

I thought the lang settings you chose would be set in a cookie, I mean where else would it be saved. If it is a cookie you'd need to use YouTube to get that cookie saved onto your computer, and then configure Cookies to Keep to not delete that cookie. Edit: Unless it's something you've configured in your web browsers. If I'm wrong someone else that knows may post a reply.

Look in the Documents folder on your computer, that's supposed to be the default location.

I'm looking right at the already built into CCleaner entry on my 6 month old Windows 10 Home laptop, screenshot:

Online scanners may be using the Linux (or is it Unix) versions of the virus scanners (at least that's what Jotti's Malware Scan does) and not have the same detection the Windows versions have. The best thing to do is report it to the antivirus software vendor by submitting the file as a possible false positive, if it's a false positive it won't take them long at all to remove it from being detected.

I did supply this old solution topic link from 2014 in my post, but as said it's old and Chrome is much newer now, and I know for some people they've previously stated it doesn't work: https://forum.piriform.com/topic/40285-ccleaner-not-deleting-google-chrome-history-fix/ One workaround is to perhaps try and then use a Chrome/Chromium Clone like SRWare Iron, Vivaldi, etc., that may not necessarily be configured to run all the time -- especially if choosing the portable versions if available.

By default CCleaner doesn't clean or target the Downloads folder that's created by Windows. To test it you could copy a file into it and then run CCleaner to see if the file survives the cleaning. However I know Windows own built-in Disk Cleanup has a check/tick box for the Downloads folder, which would delete the contents - well I at least noticed that on a computer running Windows 10 October 2018 Update.

Someone mentioned it awhile back in another topic to block its .exe files in Windows Firewall, i.e.; not allowing them Internet access.

Configure Cookies to Keep in CCleaner and see if that remedies the issue, see here: https://www.ccleaner.com/docs/ccleaner/ccleaner-settings/choosing-which-cookies-to-keep

CCleaner already has a "Windows Media Player" entry minus the asterisk however. So how to distinguish what that entry is really for then?

See if this helps: https://forum.piriform.com/topic/40285-ccleaner-not-deleting-google-chrome-history-fix/ ----------------- @ TwistedMetal: If you have Windows 10 v1809 ("October 2018 Update") installed. 1. To allow CCleaner to properly clean Edge without an error dialog displayed by CCleaner these keys must be present in the registry to prevent Edge from pre-loading: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ; Microsoft Edge browser disable pre-loading after Windows 10 (October 2018 Update). ; This allows CCleaner to properly clean Microsoft Edge after Windows 10 (October 2018 Update). [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\MicrosoftEdge] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\MicrosoftEdge\Main] "AllowPrelaunch"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\MicrosoftEdge\TabPreloader] "AllowTabPreloading"=dword:00000000 2. Open Microsoft Edge, and then close it - required to make sure it has no running processes. Then run CCleaner, and it will be able to properly clean it since no Edge processes will be running. That's how I do it anyways, and it works every time.

Well they could do what some other uninstall tools do which is have the ability to hide certain things which are unlikely to ever get uninstalled, or also likely to damage a system.

Need to be vigilante though and report all such detections, because remember last year when it was actually infected and back then only one AV/Vendor was detecting it.
