[CCleaner 4.18.4842 remains in taskbar!]

Have you unticked it in the monitoring section AND the advanced settings section? (it is rather clumsily implemented in that it is enabled in two different places)

I did what you suggested and it has removed the monitoring file from startup and it appears to be no longer running in the background. Even though the system tray icon no longer appears and is now inactive I wish Piriform would have made it that when you unckeck monitoring from both the monitoring section and settings it would completely remove the icon as well from the list of notification area icons but at least it does not appear and is monitoring.

I have also tried turning off the monitoring entry and also deleting it in CCleaner Startup but it just reappears along with the system tray icon after I restart my computer and reaccess CCleaner.  I have also tried turning it off via the system config and even deleting the registry for monotoring and again it just reappears along with the system tray icon after I restart my computer and reaccess CCleaner. In both instances the box for enable system monitoring has been unchecked in CCleaner.

 

I have attached a screen shot file after doing the above.

You can remove it by right clicking it and exitting, the issue is that CCleaner should do that when you untick active monitoring in the monitoring section.

I agree with you 100% and this is clearly a bug.

I have done the same thing and turned off active monitoring and still the system tray icon is there. I have even gone into my properties and hid icon and messages and still no help. I hate icons in my tray that I do not want and no options of getting rid of them from the program that is causing it. Please fix this.
