With the 5.31 release the update nag is back, meaning that while running 5.30 with "automatically check for updates" unchecked, there is still a notice in the lower right corner saying "you do not have the latest version" and "Update available."
Do you have 5.31.6105 installed or 6104?
5.31.6105 was released yesterday a few hours after 6104 as an emergency patch.
I am running 5.30.6065. I am being nagged to update to 5.31.6105.
Yes, same here.
5.30.6065 was the "emergency patch" release for the previous time this happened. I was going to update CCleaner today and immediately noticed the nag screen was back.
If every new release is going need a quick patch to fix the same problem then it hasn't been fixed at all. You have to update to fix the nag to update - it is not really a satisfactory solution is it?
Ccleaner is released monthly and obviously if 5.31 is out than 5.30 is old. There were two 5.31 because a fatal (to mozilla) error. But, unless a quick patch is made you will be asked to upgrade on a once a month basis. I don't think there is the situation you both setup
It does seem strange to now add this "Update Available" nag. Why include the option in settings to "Automatically check for updates to CCleaner" when CCleaner is going to check anyway?

I believe, the check for updates will pop-up if one is detected, but I'm on pro now so may be wrong.
It shouldn't pop-up if you ticked the setting not to check for updates, as we all here have done. That's the problem, the updater is ignoring that setting making it redundant. We just want that choice respected as it feels to me like that it is deliberately being overridden.
word from the Admin team is it is currently under investigation.
We now know the nag problem persists with 5.31.6105, as it is prompting to update to 5.32 (even with "Automatically check for updates" unchecked).
Hey guys! Thanks for the reports of this. Our development team have been able to reproduce the issue and they're now working on a fix for this
Hey, this should be fixed now. Can you guys let us know if you see the same issue with 5.33?
Unfortunately, once version 5.33 was released, it didn't take long for version 5.32 to start nagging about it.
Hey to clarify, we've fixed the issue in 5.33, so you shouldn't experience the same issue when updating from 5.33 to 5.34 during the next release
Now it is this (with "check for updates" still unchecked):
For these last two versions CCleaner has turned on "Automatically check for updates" itself:
This is understandable in light of recent security problems. We will see what happens with the next release.
Yes, I've just had that same nag dialogue box appear despite still, clearly, having my CCleaner settings: not to check for updates.
I don't understand why it is ignoring our settings yet again even in the light of the recent security matters.
There would have been a good chance that with the infected release we would have been similarly prompted to update. Maybe those with the check for updates ticked at the time (or who had the Pro version with update in the background option ticked) were persuaded to update because of the prompt and unfortunately infected their system in the process.
As it is all of us who did update during that period, whether prompted or not did have the infected EXE on their PC it was just not active if you were lucky enough to be using a 64bit system.
Despite being one of those people I've still spent some time this last week using every anti-nasties tool I have to run several full system scans concerned as I was about having had it on my machine.
I found I still had an archived copy of that version download and the portable version which I could have but didn't use via flash drive on the 32bit system I also use. That was mainly because I'd forgotten to update the flash drive and in doing so dodged the bullet.
Still getting this nag 18.10.17.
My Settings are clear, not to check for updates. I can and do check for myself and don't want messages popping up on screen prompting me to check. Thank you.
what is 18.10.17? The 5.34 and .35 (latest as of this writing) maybe prompt you to update to the more secure versions after the backdoor incident
18.10.17 is the date.
