Barrie Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Hi, I finally got fed up with the newer versions of CCleaner which takes a number of minutes to clean tiny amounts--less than 1 MB. I've gone back to v1.41.544 and in less than 2 seconds in cleans 5.4 MBs. Enough said. New versions slow slow slow slow slow. I've tried each new version as it came out. The new ones suck, basically. Be well & happy, Barrie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davey Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Hi Barrie, A few other users have reported the same problem as you are experiencing. The info you have provided helps. What is also needed is an idea of what software you may also be using while using CCleaner i.e. Firefox, IE8 , maybe some background malware protection etc. They are trying to track down this problem and need as much info about the circumstances as you you can provide. Your INPUT is appreciated. THANKS, davey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you uninstall the prior version before installing the new version?I know you were told you do not need to do this but this info may be helpful.It may not even be pertinent but every little bit helps resolve some of these bugs.Any other thoughts you may have? I personally started with v2.02.527.I have not had any problems with either version. Thanks again for your information. davey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again for your information. davey Hi Dave, I was using the previous version before upgrading to v2.03.532 (without uninstalling) and it was working normal and even after the upgrade it worked for a few days after which I noticed the time it takes to clean the drive regardless of size of junk files. I have uninstalled/re-installed the latest version few times but that never improved the performance of the software. thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwillener Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 I have been using CCleaner since the early versions of 1.x. After upgrading to version 2.x I noticed that it runs very much longer than any previous versions, and that on all my computers (all DELL machines). See the full specs of this computer (hardware, drivers, software, patches) in the attachment. P.S. I did an in-place upgrade, not uninstall/reinstall.

Moderators Andavari Posted December 26, 2007 Moderators Share Posted December 26, 2007 The Cleaner portion is only slightly slow on my system if I enable Start Menu Shortcuts and Desktop Shortcuts on the initial first usage of CCleaner during a Windows session. No slowdown is evident after that first usage though, meaning I could run CCleaner at say 1 PM, then run it again at 5 PM and it won't be slow after that first cleaning. What I'm referring to is leaving the computer on! Registry Cleaner in my case is identical to the Cleaner portion and is only slightly slow on the initial first usage of CCleaner during a Windows session, and again no slowdown is evident after that first usage.

WestWinger51 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 First of all, please no out loud laughing at me. Keep it at a subdued chuckle. To down load a previous version, do you need to uninstall this newest version? I followed the provided link but I cannot get it to download the older version. It keeps sending me to a different product. I want to do this because I, also, cannot use this new version. It runs, and runs, and runs until I cancel it. Please don't ask me for details. I am not that savy. Just try to do my best and hope that I learn a little more on the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators hazelnut Posted January 14, 2008 Moderators Share Posted January 14, 2008 Hello westwinger51 It may be an idea to uninstall this version if you are having problems. When you get to the download page (mentioned 2 posts up) go to the builds at the right hand side, choose which one you want and click on it. Now click the big download this version arrow above it, this downloads the setup you choose from the list. If you are vista, don't go too far back down the versions!

I figured it all out and went back to the older version. Everything is working perfectly now. What a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest_Jim_* Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I figured out how to speed up versions 2.0 and above for me, and why those version became slower. Try turning off the Start Menu and Desktop link checks. Those were moved in after 2.0 from the registry cleaner to the regular cleaner. Noticed in 2.04 (which says what it's doing) that it was taking a while to check those, so I disabled them and now the speed is back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
