DennisD: Sorry 'bout that. I looked back at may last post and saw that the attachment wasn't there... grrr! So, I am going to try resending it so you can see what I'm talking about. Carol P.S. Error message came up - This file was too big to upload. Do you have another way of receiving this file?

Thank you for the replies and understanding. Now, I did include an attachment with my last reply showing the drop-down box I am referring to and that is causing me trouble. Did you not get it? What you're showing me is different than what my issue is. If you didn't get my attachment let me know and I'll re-create it and try to resend. Thanks! Carol

Probably so hazelnut and thanks for the interest in this issue. Old people don't always express themselves in the proper computer language.

Hi and thank you for the reply. Thanks too for the idea in Firefox. Never thought to change the selection to "nothing" in the Location Bar. That will help in Firefox. It always seems to be IE that gives me trouble, so I'm attaching a pix of my issue. Everyone wants to win in PCH, and I have won stuff through Search&Win, but when the dropdown stuff continued to be an issue, I stopped. Anyway, here's the info. Carol

I wish they did. To date, I've found nothing with IE that would support disabling. I might just go ahead and switch over to Firefox for my browsing/searching needs. I really do believe in CCleaner and my husband wouldn't use anything else, so - go figure! I am just the one with the issues it seems. Thanks! Carol

Wow ... finally someone understands me!! I use IE8, and yes, I do keep cookies in CCleaner's (cookies to keep). Maybe that's where my problem is. Maybe I should remove them all and see if the cleaner recognizes that they need to be removed/cleaned. I don't use Firefox nearly as often as I should as I do enjoy that browser. My whole issue is the drop-down box listing all the things I've searched while online. Making me crazy. I'm going to give your suggestion a try and will let you know that results. Thanks again! Carol

Thank you for the updated reply. You've given me more to research and think about. To lessen my confusion, let me state this: When I type in the search 'bar' the word: Amazon, it opens information page/s about Amazon and all the links I could choose to fine tune my search in Amazon. To me, that's Search Suggestions. If this is actually Search History, then how do I delete the search history? I checkmarked "Search AutoComplete" in Windows in CCleaner. What else can I do? Thanks for the help! Carol25

Think I'll stop watching this topic as I'm getting nowhere. I re-downloaded 2.33 yesterday and made sure that the "Search Autocomplete" in Windows Explorer was checked. It was. Ran the software again. No change. Thanks anyway. Carol25

Sorry I confused you. It's possibly me that's confused. Being an old lady, I don't always know the correct computer terminology for what I'm trying to explain. I'm talking about the internet browser search box. Let me further explain that for the 5 months I have used CCleaner, I never once had to checkmark "AutoComplete Form Information." The searches I did were never stored and were always erased. As of two days ago, all that changed. In order to delete the searches I'd done, I had to checkmark that box, ran the software and everything was erased. That I didn't want as I play on game sites where I like keeping that login information. Bottom line - I never had to keep reentering login information and the searches I'd done were still erased till now. Carol25

I can use any search provider I choose on Windows. I don't use the Google nor the Yahoo tool bars. I knew that Google keeps history which is why I deleted that toolbar. Nope - I'm talking about search suggestions - not history. Thanks tho for the reply.

Not sure what you mean by "CCleaner may need a cleaning routine update." Haven't added any other new software that would have a bearing on the CCleaner's processes. If you have any other suggestions - I'm all ears.

When I first downloaded CCleaner 5 months ago, the software cleaned all the search information I'd typed and wanted to get rid of. The continuous updates have been great and my search engine was kept clean. However, two days ago, I noticed that when I typed a word into my Google/Yahoo search bar, the words continued to stick around even after running my CCleaner. Then, I saw an update today, downloaded and nope - the search engine is still loaded with information I'd just as soon delete. What happened with the software program?? Carol25

Renea, I too am an old dog, but I still try new things. I was introduced to CCleaner by my computer technician and was glad he told me about it. If you don't like it (can't see why you wouldn't) then just uninstall. Truly it's a great program. Wishing you the best, Carol25
