I'm really new to portable apps so please forgive me if I sound really newbish..
I wanted to learn how CCleaner Portable worked. I like the idea simply because you don't have to execute the entire installation file when you're using it on a different computer (granted though all my pcs have ccleaner by default, but I like the idea of being able to keep it on a flash drive).
In any case, referencing this site ( a review of ccleaner portable) they mention that every time its run a .ini or list of settings are made.
Just curious, does that lead to any privacy issues since that .ini is being custom made for the PC that its running on? Or is the ccleaner portable completely independent and literally won't leave a trace or retain a trace of the pc's its run on?
It's running strictly from an .INI file located in the same path where CCleaner.exe is, therefore it won't add anything onto the system. The only thing that could be left behind is by Windows itself which is unavoidable those being MUIcache entries, and Prefetch files.
