custard_pie Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Firstly, apologies if this topic has been dealt with before. I did try to search for something similar on the Forum pages before writing, but was unable to. I use CCleaner and Defraggler now and then, and whenever I open the program, I get informed "There's a new version available!" I then have to visit the website, link to FileHippo, then download the program again, THEN open it to use it. OK, I know it's not large program, and doesn't take as long as other programs to download... but it's EVERYTIME I go to open it. I mean what the hell is it with Piriform? And the constant re-installation? Why not do what other companies do and let certain updates accumulate, and THEN apply these to the program. It seems like Piriform, as soon as ANY update is discovered, (no matter how important), HAVE to include it the next time you open it. In which case, why not just have an "Update" option? Is this not more appropriate? Instead of downloading and re-installation? Or, is it because the programs are free so we're put through this jumping-through-hoops?

Willy2 Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 If you don't like to update CC that often then untick the box ""Automatically check for updates to Ccleaner"" (Options > Settings).

TheWebAtom Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 The grunt of ccleaner is a single .exe file, so whenever new features are added or bugs fixed, that file must be replaced. The only way you can do that is with a reinstall. I'm Shane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastman Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 I think it is excellent that you guys improve and update CCleaner regularly - I wish M$ were that diligent with maintaining their s/w This is one of the reasons why CC is one of my favourite utilities!!! You might want to consider a semi-automatic update mechanism that downloads/installs/restarts automatically? EM i use CCleaner weekly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eL_PuSHeR Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Your call. I prefer to keep most software updated but I advise reading the changelog first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
