Too many popups of ccleaner

@lmacri

You might be correct - at least in part. I reset my Microsoft Defender Firewall on 15-May-2025 to remove my custom blocks for CCleaner64.exe and since then I’ve only seen the large pop-ups that cover most of the CCleaner interface (see the images in my 02-May-2025 post <above>) appear once after a Custom Clean.

Hi nukecad:

I did further testing with both CCleaner Free v6.35 and v6.36 (updated 29-May-2025) that appears to refute my previous statement.

I re-created the outbound block for CCleaner64.exe in my Windows Firewall on 24-May-2025 but so far the large pop-ups shown in my post <above> have not re-appeared. Since re-creating the firewall block all I’ve seen is that odd “flash” that occurs where the entire CCleaner interface briefly turns grey after each Custom Clean (i.e., instead of displaying the pop-ups - see Jeff_M’s 01-Apr-2025 Screen flashes).

This would suggest that my outbound firewall block has nothing (or very little) to do with the frequency of these particular pop-ups.
