I've got Ccleaner 4.06.4324, running under Windows Vista 64-bit. It's worked flawlessly until today. What it does now is begin the comprehensive cleaning process, but when it gets to IE 9 Cookies, it just sits and spins forever. I have to go in under Task Manager to close Ccleaner. When I go back and simply 'analyze' the IE Cookies, Ccleaner says there's about 1kB in there. But when I elect to clean it, Ccleaner just hangs, the little circle sits and spins indefinitely. If I uncheck the IE Cookies box, Ccleaner will go through everything else just fine. What happened?
Perhaps a cookie has become corrupted.
Have you tried delting cookies from within IE itself to see if that cleans them (or even shows the same behaviour)?
Control Panel-Internet Options-General Tab-Delete Browsing History- and just select the cookies box only.
Hazelnut, that did the trick! I brought up IE's panel, deleted everything, including Cookies, and re-ran Ccleaner. It ran just fine. Back to normal and many thanks!
