  1. I really, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY wish I could simply right-click the cookies in the analysis report and select an action. i.e. "keep" or "preserve" or "exclude," whatever verbiage you want to use. I would find this MUCH more convenient than "Options->Cookies" as I see the analysis report far more often than I look in the "Options."
  2. RTFM. Instead of flying off the handle, see if you can resolve it yourself. The solution was really obvious. Took me less time to find ifthe option existed that it took to read your rant. Right-click CCleaner in system tray and select "options," then click on "Updates" and uncheck "Send notifications when there is a new version of CCleaner."
  3. I was speaking about the software included on the retail CD I purchased back in 2013, v3.27.1900. I used my original CD and installed CC Pro onto a VM with it. The link to the EULA I speak of in the installer is accessible before you actually install the software. Same for the "About" box in this version. It doesn't mention anything about the software being subject to a subscription. If you like, you can download the version and see for yourself. So, I think this pretty much should put an end to the lifetime license, at least as of 2013. Piriform just handled this very, very poorly.
  4. I purchased a retail copy of CC Pro for "Unlimited PCs" ~2013. The box did not include a EULA. The installer also did not include a EULA, but rather a link to a EULA. I admit I was under the impression that CC Pro provided lifetime updates, but, alas, I was wrong. Using the Internet Archive, I was able to find the EULA dated 25 JAN 2013 that I have included at the end of this post. It does indeed state that service is for a year following email notification of my account details: "The Services shall start on the date on which Piriform sends a confirmatory email to you confirming full payment of the support and update fees and issuing your user account details, and shall continue for a period of 1 year or for such other period as we may agree with you in writing." However, Piriform never asked me for my email address (outside of my registering on this forum). When I installed CC all it asked for was my name and license key. Piriform's major error is not including subscription info in the "About" dialog for the software. Most subscription software indicates the expiration date of service in this location. Here's the EULA I found: Software License and Support Agreement for users of Premium Software 1. BACKGROUND This end-user license agreement is a legal contract between you, as either an individual or as a business entity and Piriform. The following terms have the following meanings: "Piriform" means Piriform Limited, a Cyprus limited company. "License" means the license to use the Product as set out at paragraph 2 below. "Product" means the software product known as CCleaner Professional including any new version provided to you by Piriform pursuant to this agreement; "Services" means the Support Services (as defined in paragraph 3) and/or the Update Services (as defined in paragraph 4). "Product Description" means the written description of the Product at www.piriform.com. By proceeding to download or install the Product, and in consideration of your use of the Product, you are deemed to agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. Piriform permits you to use the Product only in accordance with the terms of this agreement and this agreement and the License will terminate automatically without notice if you fail to comply with the terms of this agreement. Should this agreement terminate for any reason you must immediately cease all further use of the Product and destroy all copies of it. 2. PRODUCT LICENSE Subject to and in consideration of payment of the applicable fee and you agreeing to abide by the terms of this License and subject to your compliance with the terms of this agreement, Piriform grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Product for the following purposes and in the following manner: - You shall NOT be permitted to grant any sub-licenses of the Product; - You may NOT resell, charge for, sub-license, rent, lease, loan or distribute the Product without our prior written consent. We reserve the right to withdraw any such consent (or part thereof) for any reason and without notice and to demand that you immediately cease any activity in respect of which permission is withdrawn; - You may NOT repackage, translate, adapt, vary, modify, alter, create derivative works based upon, or integrate any other computer programs with, the Product in whole or in part; - You may NOT use the Product to engage in or allow others to engage in any illegal activity; - You may NOT transfer or assign your rights or obligations under this agreement to any person or authorize all or any part of the Product to be copied on to another user's computer; and - You may NOT decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer or otherwise attempt to discover the source code of the Product except to the extent that you may be expressly permitted to reverse engineer or decompile under applicable law. - You may NOT install the Product on more computers that you have purchased licenses for. The number of permissible installations is defined in your purchase. An "Installation" is defined as: (i) the installation of one copy of the Product on an individual physical device or PC, which does not have Virtualization Capability (as defined below); or (ii) each instance of the Product which is installed on a virtual machine operating on a device which has Virtualization Capability. Where one copy of the Product is installed on a server providing remote access to users by means of Terminal Services or other services allowing multiple user profiles accessed at the same time from different remote locations, each user profile present on that server shall be deemed an Installation for the purposes of this clause. "Virtualization Capability" means making a single physical device appear to function as multiple virtual resources. (iii) "1 PC" product edition allows installation on a single computer. (iv) "Unlimited PCs" product edition permits installation on all computers owned by you that are physically located in your residential home. (v) when used in a business or commercial environment the "Unlimited PCs" product edition reverts to "1 PC" product edition. 3. SUPPORT SERVICES Subject to and in consideration of payment of the applicable fee, Piriform shall provide the support services (the "Support Services") as set out in this paragraph 3. 3.1 Scope of Support Piriform will endeavor to answer by email such number of your queries regarding the use or application of the Product as it deems reasonable. No representation or warranty is given that all queries will be responded to or responded to within a specified period of time. You shall assist Piriform in providing the Support Services by providing any assistance or information that it requires. Queries should be submitted to Piriform using either of these methods: * http://support.piriform.com using such user account details as given to you by Piriform after your support account is enabled. * Email direct to Piriform using such email address as given to you by Piriform after your support account is enabled. Upon receipt of full payment of the support fee, a user account will be automatically enabled for you on http://support.piriform.com and you will be sent an email notification confirming activation of your user account and confirming your user account details. Save as expressly set out in this agreement, support fees and/or any applicable renewal fees are non-refundable. 3.2 Limits Of Support Piriform shall only provide Support Services in respect of the most current version of the Product. Piriform shall only provide Support Services up to and in respect of the number of Installations (as defined below) of the Product that you have specified and paid for under this agreement. You must purchase Support Services in respect of all Installations of the Product made by you; where you fail to do so the Support Services shall immediately terminate without notice, any without refund or liability to you. 4. UPDATE SERVICES Subject to your payment of the applicable annual update fees and support fees for the relevant year, Piriform shall from time to time, via its website, make available new versions of the Product for you to download and use (the "Update Services"). 5. TERM AND TERMINATION OF SERVICES The Services shall start on the date on which Piriform sends a confirmatory email to you confirming full payment of the support and update fees and issuing your user account details, and shall continue for a period of 1 year or for such other period as we may agree with you in writing. If you have purchased yearly subscriptions for the Support Services and/or Update Services, at the end of the year and any following year, the Support Services and/or Update Services shall renew automatically for another year. Piriform (or its authorized agents or sub-contractors) will give you an opportunity to cancel your subscription in advance of the renewal date and will inform you of the renewal fees. Unless you notify Piriform by email before renewal that you do not want to renew the Services. Piriform may terminate the provision of Services at any time upon written notice to you. In such circumstances, Piriform will issue a pro-rata refund back onto the card originally used to pay. Furthermore, Piriform may terminate the Services immediately and without any liability to refund any payments to you if: * You commit a material or persistent beach of this agreement; * You become insolvent or unable to pay your debts within the meaning of section 123 of the Insolvency Act 1986; * You fail to make any renewal payment. 6.

If, within the period of 90 days from the date of installation you notify Piriform in writing of any defect or fault in the Product in consequence of which it fails to perform substantially in accordance with the Product Documentation, and such defect or fault does not result from you having amended the Product or used it in contravention of the terms of this License, Piriform will, at its sole option, repair or replace the Product, provided that you make available all information that may be necessary to assist Piriform in resolving the defect or fault, including sufficient information to enable Piriform to recreate the defect or fault. 8.

  5. Could you please enlighten us as to what is supposed to be a superior alternative to CCleaner? I think I will soon be in the market to replace CC myself. I just installed two 64-bit 8.1U1 systems and both of them trigger the UAC at login (CCleaner starting at login) and when launched manually. I have a desktop that began its life at 64-bit 8 and has been updated continuously to the most recent patches, and CCleaner doesn't trigger UAC prompt. WTF? These are both HTPCs and the prompt is a pain in the ass.
