~*~ Does CCleaner.exe /AUTO Clean While Web Browser is Open? ~*~

I ran it as a task and it was either 100% silent or didn't work. I had Google Chrome open so shouldn't I have received some sort of warning to close it so it can fully clean the system?

yo, i mean too...

... only when the browser is closed, the system is cleaned according to your settings. a moderator can probably better answer, i dont use google chrome.

CCleaner.exe /AUTO --> CCleaner runs silently and automatically, using the current set of saved options to clean the PC. CCleaner then exits.

i have try it with ff and by me too as by you. no browser-closing and no message.

i think with this option runs ccleaner only silent and browser not closed. the active/used files from opened browser or maybe all files in connection with opened browser does not deleted/cleaned.

Firefox and Chrome each use a single file (database) for cookies, cache and history (as opposed to internet explorer which uses individual files for each cookie, cache-item, history-item) thus they must be closed (and not running in the background) as they lock the file while in use.

Running as a task or with /auto should still create (for a very short time if there isnt a lot to clean) a system tray icon
