ccleaner registration

CCleaner for Windows
1

I bought a fully loaded pc off the internet and everything works fine except for Ccleaner.It is looking for a license with the name SadeemPC in it. I deleted Ccleaner and ran a new Ccleaner. Every time I open it, it shows SadeemPC and some licence number. How do I get rid of it.

It's a cracked version, as seen in the top of the search here:

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=SadeemPC

If I were you I'd virus scan that PC since if they've put cracked software on it there could be malware on it. See item 10 listed in the rules here for getting a diagnosis to make sure the PC is clean: https://forum.piriform.com/announcement/15-forum-rules/

I ran Malware Bytes and Avast. I then tested Ccleaner and it still shows SadeemPC. I also deleted Ccleaner and installed a newer version. It still shows up. Can you direct me to the area that has this name so I can remove it?

Remove ccleaner folder inside "Program Files" folder after uninstall

then reinstall ccleaner back

5

it's probably in the Registry.

That's usually where registered software store that info in an encrypted key.

And I don't know where that would be to delete the key since I've only ever used the free version, and now only the portable free version.

Make sure, after you uninstall, that branding.dll is no longer in the ccleaner folder

there is no branding.dll. When I want to use Ccleaner, it shows sadeempc in the registration. There must be someplace else that Ccleaner uses to find out if I am a registered user or not.

What operating system in your machine running..Windows 10?

Is Windows activated?
