Recently I got a popup from CCleaner which did not have the X at the top right. You know like a virus would, this was a legit CCleaner popup. I have been supporting and recommending CCleaner to all of my friends and even supported it with a membership for years. Seeing as you guys want to use the same popups viruses like to use, I will never again buy anything from you guys or recommend to anyone I know to use CCleaner, even the free one. It's sad to see a company I supported for years use the same tactics a virus would use, you should be ashamed.
Please stop posting mutiple copies of this topic. I have removed your ability to post for 24 hrs to enable you to cool down and me to mop up.

If you have been using CCleaner for a while you will have noticed that every CCleaner notification has some form of dismissal option to close it and move on to the next thing. However, these will vary depending on the nature and content of the notification - it may be an "X" button, an "Accept/Decline" option, a "Continue" button, or a "no thanks" or "remind me later" button. And most have a CCleaner configuration setting to switch them off.
Hard to give more specific suggestions for a remedy in your case without some more information about the notification that you received (screenshots are always handy for this sort of thing), so could you please clarify:
- What was the content of the notification? (eg: was it telling you that there was a update to CCleaner to download, that you had just updated your copy of CCleaner, that Smart Cleaning could clean your browser after it closed, that there is currently a discount sale on CCleaner Professional, etc?)
- Where did the notification appear on your screen? (bottom right corner, inside the CCleaner console itself, or some other location?)
- Is this a notification that you have been receiving regularly? Or just once or twice?
- Is the nature of your concern that this is a type of notification that you do not wish to receive? Or that the X/close/decline/no thanks/remind me later/etc option did not render on your screen?
- If the latter, could you describe your monitor setup - eg: screen resolution, if you are using multiple monitors, if the Windows taskbar on your main monitor has been moved to somewhere other than the default bottom location, if your Windows taskbar has been "fattened" to be two or more icons deep instead of the usual one, etc.
