  1. The license for the pro version is per "installation" (one "installation" at a time) thus as long as you aren't installing/placing it on multiple PCs you're fine reinstalling after format. As far as portable, if you follow these steps it is acceptable: install it and activate copy all the files except uninstaller from ccleaner folder to another folder Create, in the new folder, an empty text file called "portable.dat" (be sure you can see "file extensions for known file types" so as to not create portable.dat.txt ) Uninstall the installed ccleaner. Now you have pro portable Note that the portable is now your one licensed "installation", that's why I keep placing " marks.

    Right, that's good, but will the Pro portable installation I made update itself when there is an update seamlessly? That's the only reason I may want to purchase it as I have no interest in any live monitoring or any of the Pro features are than the pro updater.

     

    Why don't you guys just give the pro owners the ability to have a pro portable version officially?

  2. Hi there,

     

    I have a few questions about the CCleaner Pro license

     

    1) Can I buby a pro license yet not install it, as in only use the Pro version? Is there a portable Pro version as I don't like to install CCleaner usually just run it on demand

     

    2) Does the pro license impose on how many times I can re-activate it? The reason I ask is because I format a lot and don't keep any software licenses that restrict me on how I use my computer. I know some programs would blacklist the key if it was reactivated a few times even if it's on the same PC with the same OS/specs.

  3. Formatting for a sidebyside error... common...

     

    If you want to get rid of this message, it's very easy : just delete the repertory of your portable ccleaner... You're getting this error whenever you run or access the executable, and whenever your antivirus scans it. In fact, your antivirus scans the executable even if you just open the directory without running it. That's all...

     

    By the way, this error is not a big deal. Nothing serious, just a dependency error that will be easily corrected in the next update.

    I am OCD about these event log errors bro. Plus, the error happens every reboot without me even touching CCleaner or accessing its folder.

  4. I saw many instances of this error in the Event Viewer on my Windows 7 Professional SP1 (x64) Alienware 18 laptop:

     

     

    Activation context generation failed for "D:\Software\CCleaner 5.01.5075\CCleaner64.exe".Error in manifest or policy file "" on line . A component version required by the application conflicts with another component version already active. Conflicting components are:. Component 1: C:\Windows\WinSxS\manifests\amd64_microsoft.windows.common-controls_6595b64144ccf1df_6.0.7601.17514_none_fa396087175ac9ac.manifest. Component 2: C:\Windows\WinSxS\manifests\x86_microsoft.windows.common-controls_6595b64144ccf1df_6.0.7601.17514_none_41e6975e2bd6f2b2.manifest.

     

    I don't even have CCleaner installed, I just use the portable version

  5. Have you tried unchecking the MS Search option?  Worked for me.  The index no longer has to be rebuilt and I'm not seeing any more errors in the Event Viewer.

    I haven't even noticed it man! thanks for drawing my attention to it! I'll monitor the errors over the next few days and hopefully it doesn't corrupt my Index so I can continue to use CCleaner.

     

    Cheers Bro

  6. I thought this was fixed since version 3.5.......... but the moment I ran CCleaner, after a while I saw this in Event Log:

     

    Crawl could not be completed on content source <winrt://{S-1-5-21-3719700465-3453217553-2011399094-1001}/>.

    Context:  Application, SystemIndex Catalog

    Details:
        The parameter is incorrect.  (HRESULT : 0x80070057) (0x80070057)

     

     

    That's the reason I have stopped CCleaner for a while and now decided to give it another try but no luck :(

  7. Yeah but man a full day to defrag a drive that's insane. I've tried every defragmenter out there and the difference is night and day!

     

    O&O Defrag, Perfect Disk, Ultra Defrag, Puran Defrag, Auslogics Disk Defrag, they all finish within 10% of the time Defraggler needs to finish. Don't tell me all thoe big companies and apps paid and free don't know what they're doing and Defraggler is doing something right that they aren't. That's just not right.

  8. I tried all Defragmenters but I like Defragger because I can get a portable version that doesn't have any of these gimmicks which actually slow my system down like prevent defragmentation before it occurs on the fly such as the one present in PerfectDisk, but defragmenting my 4TB external USB 3.0 HDD which takes about 1 hour on average with any other defragmenter now takes more than 24 hours with Defraggler. I have noticed this since more than a year and just tried to download Defraggler again hoping it has improved but same thing. Why is it so slow? Please improve it.

  9. I wasn't able to find any info about my laptop's screen in Speccy but HWiNFO hass all the info about my screen's model and whatnot

     

    Can we please have a new module for the screen in Speccy?

     

    thanks

    Hi,
     
    You can now download v4.18.4844. This version allows for easier control of the new Active Monitoring feature.
     
    Active Monitoring can be disabled by:
     
    1.    Open CCleaner, then click Options > Monitoring
    2.    Disable System Monitoring by unticking the box next to "Enable System Monitoring"
    3.    Disable Active Monitoring by unticking the box next to "Enable Active Monitoring", and click Yes when the confirmation box appears

     

    Thank you for the fast action for fixing this chief

     

    I just hope that future versions will not have this active monitoring enabled by default and no tray icon unless one intentionally activates the active monitoring.

  11. I have unticked the monitoring, exited from the tray, then removed CCleaner from the startup entries.....

     

    the moment you launch CCleaner again, the bloody tray icon is there until you again manually exit by right clicking on it then choosing exit! who the hell made this stupid decision to include live monitoring in the free version! time to switch to another cleaner!

  12. I downloaded the latest CCleaner 4.18.4842 Portable edition and upon checking the options, I ticked the "Enable System Monitoring" by mistake. I then saw the CCleaner icon in the taskbar. I hate having any unncessary apps in the taskbar so I unchecked the box but it remained in the taskbar.

     

    I then exited CCleaner completely, but the moment I re-launch it, it appears in the taskbar again even though the "Enable System Monitoring" box is unchecked!

     

    What's more annoying, now I have to do 2 things to completely exit CCleanr:

     

    1) Press the X Button to close its main window then......

     

    2) Right click on the taskbar and choose exit

     

    Please fix this!

  13. One of the first things I do when I run CCleaner is go into the Advanced Tab, then add a folder manually to delete all the files/sub-directories in: C:\Windows\Software Distriubtion\Download

     

    Those are installation files downloaded by Windows Update, and after Windows Updates installs the updates, it forgets to delete the installation files.

     

    I have always deleted them for more than 5 years now (also in Windows Vista) and never ran into any problem.

     

    So rather than me doing this manual addition to that folder to delete the contents of the Download folder (and its subdirectories since the setup files are always stored in subdirectories), can Piriform add this option for us users to select by default ?

     

    Thank you

  14. I have unchecked the option "Only Delete Files In Windows Temp Folders That Are Older Than 24 Hours" but when I run CCleaner, there are still some files left out in the Temp folder located in C:\Windows\Temp

     

    There aren't any programs that are running that may be using any of those files.

     

    what I always have to do is to manually add the Temp folder located in C:\Windows\Temp in the advanced options, then when I clean, it actually empties it out. But this shouldn't be the case right?

     

    It has happened to me in EVERY version of CCleaner in the past and I thought it is time to report this bug already.

     

    Hope you can fix this. Thanks

     

    PS: My Temp files in C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp DO get cleaned out just fine.
