21

In case anyone missed the posts about it, Piriform quickly released a new build this afternoon as a result of the confusion that the Active System Monitoring caused in the last update.

Active Monitoring can now be disabled by:

1. Open CCleaner, then click Options > Monitoring

2. Disable System Monitoring by unticking the box next to "Enable System Monitoring"

3. Disable Active Monitoring by unticking the box next to "Enable Active Monitoring", and click Yes when the confirmation box appears

Excuse my lack of ability, but where do I find "Enable Active Monitoring" and the box next to it. Are there any reasons why someone might not want to download the new version 4.18.4844?

I have downladed the new version and now see both options.

Should I disable both now?

Yes, you have to uncheck both options if you want to disable the new Monitoring feature:

Are there advantages in having the new Monitoring feature and for what reaons might some individuals want to disable it?

Thanks for your previous answers!

As there is still no manual or description for the new Monitoring feature it is difficult to say. Most of the automatic functions need a "Professional" license, so I do not see a benefit for enabling it. But this is just my personal opinion.

As there is still no manual or description for the new Monitoring feature...

There's official documentation available now, see here:

Everything is still grayed out after you enable system monitoring in the free version. No values or settings can be changed.

I believe the following apply's to the Professional version only and should be removed from the Docs for the free version.

Note: When automatic monitoring and cleaning is selected, CCleaner will use the settings in the Cleaner section to clean your PC.

Great! Thank you for the hint.

I am not sure. Maybe they want to clarify what will be cleaned if you confirm the balloon notification.

I think your right that their intention is to confirm what settings will be used when clean is selected.

The way it reads now implies that both monitoring and cleaning are automatic.

Maybe it should just be stated that "When clean is selected from balloon notification, CCleaner will use the settings in the Cleaner section to clean your PC".

Sounds good to me!

Regarding ''When automatic monitoring and cleaning is selected, CCleaner will use the settings in the Cleaner section to clean your PC''

I have been told that....

''This refers to the cleaning rules set out within the Main cleaner interface. This is valid for all monitoring (Free and Pro) as they both follow those rules to clean''

Hi hazel,

Using the same wording to describe the free version implies that cleaning is automatic in the free version.

Maybe it's just me that's seeing it this way.

Thank you

Yes monitor cleaning in free is automatic AFAIK

I'm unable to install the newest version. The installer gets about halfway and then I get an error message: Error opening file for writing: C:\Program Files\CCleaner64.exe Click to Abort to swto the installation, Retry to try again, or Ignore to skip this file." Then there are the three buttons to Abort, Retry or Ignore. I have downloaded this newest version 4 times and every time, I run into this error. I'm running Windows 7 64 bit, Home Edition.

Any ideas?
