After clicking download for ccleaner I was directed to donation page.
I entered home address, credit card #, email address and clicked on submit.
I printed out my payment receipt but still cannot download ccleaner.
I have not found any way to contact someone to help me.
I am registered to post on this blog page, can anyone help me see
what I have or have not done to be able to download ccleaner?
I read about this product in Reader's Digest and would like to use it.
I thank in advance anyone that can help me get ccleaner downloaded or
a refund of my purchase price.

Try downloading it from:
http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/
In this way, it does not direct you in the donations page.
Thank you Power member for responding. I typed in ccleaner in my browser and clicked on
the Piriform website. I clicked on download and I was directed to the donation page
immediately. I found no way to freely download ccleaner. The description of this
product was what I was looking for so I paid by credit card but I was still not able
to download anything. I kept getting redirected to the donation page every time I
clicked on download. I haven't tried the address you gave but after posting my first
question I did find the download for the portable ccleaner (usb portable).
I did download this but after analyzing my computer I saw that it contained files
for my AVG security suite and did not use the portaable ccleaner.
I am very new to trying anything other than email and browsing. I have problems almost
every time I try a new program.
I will use the web address you supplied and see what happens.
Thanks again, antone

Key word, DONATION. CCleaner is freeware but obviously donations are appreciated. Did you click the donation from this page? http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download Always take the time to read the whole page you are on, and even re-read to double check. If in doubt. ASK.
If yes then atleast you donated to ccleaner, other wise you have been scammed. If you are very new to the internet. NEVER just enter your credit card details. If ever in doubt post here regarding any software. Many of us can easily spot a scam or can verifie reputable software.
The direct link for ccleaner is http://www.filehippo.com/download/file/2c4e5cd18fc984ced4151710646dc97ec9a1dffa799be6ca26cf68cc6c64b8b8/
Click this link and you will be instantly asked if you wish to download ccleaner with out having to click any other links.
Welcome to the forum
edit: iv added a screen shot of what i think may of happened.
Thank you Advanced member for responding. I did try filehippo first but allI could get to
was Registry Mechanic 9. When I came back to this post I used Crabz supplied link and
got the free download. I did run the ccleaner and removed about 500mb.
Also I did read the whole donation page more than once before giving my credit card info,
but thank you for reminding me and anyone else who is new to using the internet.
I wasn't having any problems with my computer but I wanted to see if it would run
faster after having tried to clean up anything that might be slowing it down.
p.s. The screen shot was where I first attempted to download ccleaner and it did
run me around in circles.
Thanks to everyone who responded to my questions,
antone
Just a side note, their name isn't Advanced Member and Crabz. It is Ishi and ident!
Here is a Direct link if nothing works.
Direct download link removed. User has managed to download the program.
