fragghead Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 I was wondering why I have the Yahoo Toolbar checkbox option box since I don't have the Yahoo Toolbar installed. Is this just part of the standard CCleaner setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ident Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 All it is asking you is if you would like to add the yahoo toolbar on setup. Most people dont like this and uncheck it. Me included. CCleaner is a freeware application and requirers funding. If you want it, leave it checked. If not. Uncheck it. Hope this helps.

I have CCleaner installed without the Yahoo Toolbar. After launching CCleaner, the applications window shows a Yahoo Toolbar checkbox option. I'm wondering why it's there when I don't have the Yahoo Toolbar installed. Thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever installed it and then removed it? I'm not sure how ccleaner toggles the options to visible TRUE or FALSE. My guess is there is something left behind that ccleaner gets the information to show the option. Maybe a bug in how ccleaner saves it settings. I once had opera installed. Then removed. It is still displayed in applications. I personally dont let this worry me in the slightest. No fate but what we make Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I totally uninstalled it and checked registry and files for any remnants. I guess I'll just ignore it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcunix Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I have been using CClearner and Degraggler for a LONG time. I find it VERY disappointing that Piriform has, in the last couple of versions, decided to include the "option" to install what I consider to be crapware. This is Yahoo Toolbar. I'm sure they make money every time some poor soul (like me) who is used to clicking the OK box all of a sudden now has this crapware toolbar. I really wish they wouldn't do this. I've deeply respected and admired their software up until they started doing this. So sue me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That option had been available for as long as I can remember, going back to when I started using CCleaner in 2006. And besides, you shouldn't be so hasty to click through ELUA's ect anyway winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And besides, you shouldn't be so hasty to click through ELUA's ect anyway On top of the very important statement above Piriform has for the extent of my using it offered two-three build of CCleaner that do not have the Yahoo bar (which is the only source of income they have BTW) you can find them by clicking the other builds link on the download page 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.

I'd rather voluntarily contribute (I have) rather than having crapware to avoid instaling. Case closed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
