I coulnt find the former version 2.23 on the web ...
If you want to go 'back up a notch' you can find other versions here ... http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/#
Thank You for this "downgrding" hint - IT HELPED - YIPPIE.I coulnt find the former version 2.23 on the web but fortunately i had some old cleaner 2.21 on my HD - so I uninstalled ccleaner 2.24 totally, started the old version AND: Ladies an gentleman: it works! ccleaner 2.21 cleans an clears everything, a cleaningtool should clean: traces of surfing in the web.
I?d suggest to rename the actual version from "ccleaner" into partial?-cleaner- its is not very useful and may be dangerous - so e.g. in the case I use some very "intim" usernames for a second e-mail-adress an my curious wife uses the PC after me. She will find evry username, i used to login on sites, she would not like me to go to - just e.g....
You see: a cleaner should clean everything You want - it should not domineer over You - leave those domineering programs to Microft and friends. It?s not suitable for programs of the Open Source-world.
Back to the roots: downgrade and get rid of surfing - traces....
Bye
Glad to hear that solved your problem. I'm beginning to wonder if other users are not aware what's going on with the new 2.24.1010.
At first, I just thought 2.24.1010 was just faster. After investigating I realized it was faster because it was doing little, if any cleaning.
After I downgraded back, it took 2.23.993 several minutes to clean all the stuff that 2.24.1010 missed.
I'm sure CCleaner does not discriminate people on sexual orientation or surf habits. Let's do the same on the user side, shall we? Stay cool, please.
Wise words ePost.
I've deleted a number of posts from this thread as they added nothing to the discussion, and were getting a little out of hand.
For that reason I'm also closing it.
