That's why I use the Task Manager to kill it.  This still has nothing to do the the questions at hand.

...or I could just turn off monitoring.  This doesn't help with the other problems.

A couple of questions... 

When I use Chrome "clear browsing data" and then quit Chrome and run CCleaner, I find 300,000 ... files still remaining.  CCleaner deletes these.  How do I get Chrome to clean up better?

When I use Chrome "clear browsing data" it clears my cookies for accounts I wish to keep.  Then when I try to log on, the account assumes an "attack" and I have to authenticate myself and change my password.  CCleaner allows me to choose which cookies to keep.  Is there a way to do this in Chrome or another cleaner?

I can manage started tasks by running msconfig.  I haven't yet looked for another way to clean up the Windows Register.

So I run CCleaner after shutting down Chrome (or any other browser) and then kill CCleaner with the task manager.

I appreciate the guidance from How-To Geek about CCleaner but it is seriously inadequate in offering practical alternatives.
