Although I'm sure you did something which you thought would uninstall CCleaner, it is unlikely that you did, for these reasons:
-
The picture in post 10 shows CCleaner running.
-
The highlighted line in the picture in post 10 shows a registry entry for CCleaner, (it shows that monitoring is disabled).
-
CCleaner64 is still in program files (post 16) … is that file named CCleaner64.exe?
-
CCleaner will still run (post 16).
None of these things would be true if you had used add/remove to uninstall CCleaner.
When you uninstall ccleaner using add/remove, it is ALL gone except for (maybe) a registry entry saying that you don’t want the google toolbar.
For what it’s worth, the picture is not “basically the same as the add/remove” as suggested in post 12. The highlighted line in your picture is in Tools > Startup. . . the CCleaner uninstaller is found in Tools > Uninstall. Nergal’s post 11 tells how to find the CCleaner uninstaller, but it will not uninstall CCleaner itself. For that you just use the windows native uninstaller.
Here is what you can do to answer Hazelnuts questions 1 and 2 in post 14 above, and maybe, just maybe, uninstall ccleaner.
1. Make sure CCleaner is not running, and there is no tray icon showing,
- In windows, start add/remove programs, wait for the list to populate, and see if CCleaner is in the list.
2a. If it is, use add/remove to remove it. After that, double check to see if that ccleaner64 file is still present in program files.
2b. If CCleaner is not in the add/remove list, and you can still get it to run as you described above, someone else will have to tell you how (or whether) to reinstall it and uninstall it again to get a clean removal. I have not done this for win 7 or win 8.
Also for what it’s worth, a quick way to run the add/remove program in win xp and win 7 is to click on Start, Run, then type appwiz.cpl in the box that opens, then click OK. That should open up the add/remove panel.
Post back how it goes. Hope you get it fixed.
