  1. and made sure the file was ccsetup528exe
  2. I went to the web page for CCleaner installation problems and it took me to main Piriform page. Then no problem...
  3. Stop the music!! Yes, downloaded and installed with absolutely no problem. Thank you so much!!!
  4. Uninstalled. Shut down computer Started up again. Went to the Piriform site to download CCleaner. Go ahead and I did, but the download never finishes. Tried again, same thing. So, instead of an outdated CCleaner now I have none..... Oh, boy. LOL Do you have any ideas?? Sounds like my computer does not like CCleaner for some reason..... Maybe I will wait for the next update and try again but I sure like having CCleaner on the computer.
  5. OK, here goes. Will let you know what happens.
  6. I also notice that something called Fixit wants desperately to be downloaded.and this seems to be on the same page as the download for CCleaner. A program to fix Windows 7? Mine is not broken, thank you.
  7. Tried on the Filehippo site and seem to be able to download 5.31.6105 but it will not install. Same abort, try again, cancel. What about simply deleting CCleaner from the computer and then re-installing it? Still makes me wonder why I cannot update. Not going to try anything fancy until I hear from you.
  8. Thanks, tried that link, downloaded but when I tried to install, still got Abort, Try Again, Ignore shortly after the installation started. I will just wait a while and see what shows up tomorrow or so. Thank you for your answer.
  9. Notified to update to this today (June 15, JST) and after update CCleaner site confirms that I have 5.31.6104 at the top of the site, but the bottom insists that I need to update. Try it but since it seems to be the same update I only get a "unable to complete" notice with the choice of ignore, try again, cancel. Also notice that since I tried again, Firefox is suddenly my homepage rather than Google News. What is going on here? Ran CCleaner to no effect. Malwarebytes shows nil. Windows Defender the same. Any thoughts? Thank you. I suppose I could just ignore the notice and, by the way, I have changed my homepage back to Google News...
  10. Thanks for the information. I have uninstalled/installed the latest CCleaner.
  11. Thank you very much. I went ahead and uninstalled/installed. It was just a bother, not a worry. Thanks again
  12. Ever since I installed the Oct 24 (new) version of CCleaner, every two or three days a pop up appears when I open the computer telling me there is a new version of CCleaner and that I should install it. I fell for this a couple of time: clicking on it takes me to the Piriform website and asks if I want to up grade to the paid version. No. Then the site tells me that I do in fact have the latest version. How can I stop this "service" pop-up or is it something new from CCleaner?

    SmartPC fix

    They nagged me by e-mail The billing company - Click Flex or something like that - finally sent me an e-mail to tell me my subscription was cancelled and I would not be billed any more. I have, of course, saved it. Still trying to correct a few things that seem to have occurred after the one run with that soft, but nothing serious so I am not getting too excited. Thanks for listening and advising me.

    SmartPC fix

    After uninstalling SmartPC, running CCleaner, Malwarebytes, Windows Defender and cleaning up the Firefox site, things seem to be working a lot better. Malwarebytes found 8 dangerous things, BTW, and I quarantined them.

    SmartPC fix

    Got it all cleaned off the computer, clean uninstall. The only problem I have now is with the company which keeps begging me to give them a chance and will not confirm that I have, in fact, unsubscribed and will not be billed any more.... Just have to wait and see, but I believe the credit card company will go along with me. Saving all the e-mails..

    Now what?

    Never mind. I customized my Firefox History, etc., to delete all the cache each time I closed Firefox. Duhhh. Changed it back and everything works fine now. At least until the next catastrophe. Sorry to trouble you.

    Now what?

    My computer has been acting up, so I did a System Restore. Seemed fine until I noticed that I cannot stay signed in to any internet sites. I have to sign in each time I access them. I wonder if there is something I did to goof the settings up or what? Windows live mail is not affected; works like always. Can anyone give me any hints as to what to do here? It is a pain to keep signing in, as you can imagine.

    SmartPC fix

    My computer occasionally starts up from sleep with: Windows experienced an unexpected shutdown." Checking the net, I found that SmartPC fix was recommended to take care of this problem. However, I cannot find any information other than negative, so should I leave it alone? Have already downloaded it for a one month price of $4.99. Ran it once, it found a lot of problems in the registry, etc. and went ahead and fixed them. But I am now having second thoughts about it. Another board told me that Piriform CCleaner (which I have) does the same thing and is safer..... Any advice (or scolding?).

    SpeedUpMyPC

    Thanks to all of you for your comments. I kind of figured this was something to stay away from and not waste my time with. So I won't. Thanks again. t

    SpeedUpMyPC

    I have NoScript installed on my Toshiba Laptop, XP Pro SP3 and everytime it updates, it encourages me to run (and perhaps purchase, I do not know as I have not gotten that far) a program by Uniblue - SpeedUpMyPC. Does anyone know anything about this from first hand experience? I do not want to try something that is going to goof anything else up. Thanks for any input you may have.
  21. The original quake and tsunami were terrifying in themselves. Then the Fukushima reactors leaking gas, smoke, having explosions. But one of the worst things for me (being here) is the unending amount of after shocks. The just DO NOT end. More than 220 of a magnitude of 5 or more since the original quake. And they are occuring all over the place - Shizuoka, north Chiba, Niigata, Gifu... If you do not know Japanese geography that doesn't mean much I know... But the aftershocks are not all around the original but seem to be moving to the west and south... Very unnerving as it is going on 5 days since the original and the house still keeps shaking. At least we have utilities...
  22. Hi. Tried to log in to this site (any Piriform site, actually) from my bookmarks, Goggle Search, etc., yesterday (Sunday, 5/15 my time here in Japan) and kept getting the following: Server Error in '/' Application. I went over to the Malwarebytes board and discovered several people there were getting the same message from CCleaner. This morning there is no problem at all. If there were actually maintenance, I wonder why that message was not given instead of a Server Error? I notice that Pogo or King Games, etc., give a maintenance notice when they are working on their site. Not a complaint actually (although I did panic when I could not get on the site) just a question. Anyone know about this or experience it?
