skysober Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I just downloaded the latest version and I made the mistake of just clicking through without thinking. Now I have that crappy Yahoo Toolbar that spys on everything you do, drags my cpu down, records where I have browsed, and is 100% worthless. It is really frustrating to see a quality program designed to help get rid of 'crap' and then have it package crap along with it. Is there anyway to like set in the register where Toolbars are automatically blocked from even being installed in the firstplace? Couldn't these most hated type programs be added into a malware program that prevents it from installing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ePost Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 On the install promts you were offered to say no. This is how Yahoo suggests removal of the toolbar. CCleaner will not be affected.

Moderators Nergal Posted October 9, 2009 Moderators Share Posted October 9, 2009 Besides which Priform offers two version of all their software that come without the bundleware that helps them keep CCleaner, recuva, and defragger FREE If they charged you I'm sure you'd moan too ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.
