lfsjrny Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 I noticed that everytime I run CCleaner several packets of data flows out of my machine. I am curious if my deleted files are being sent out and who would be looking at this data? Or, is it CCleaner collecting this data? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winapp2.ini Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 As hazel said, it is probably just CCleaner sending its version ID to the piriform server to check for updates. winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Nergal Posted December 12, 2011 Moderators Share Posted December 12, 2011 CCleaner makes no incomming nor outgoing connections past the initial (as already mentioned) update check. These several packets of data flows out of my machine are most likely not ccleanerto what ip is the packet going? 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.
