basically, try renaming the file.

ccsetup506.exe won't install through IE11 and Windows 7 with all current service packs.

I removed malwarebytes, still fails.

Ran Microsoft Security Essentials, no problem.

Tried to download earlier 505 version, still fails.

Tried to download in safe mode, still fails.

It makes it to the security scan, than it fails.

Enable Enhanced Protected Mode is not checked under IE tools.

Tried saving the file and changing its name, still fails.

Have another laptop with same IE and Windows levels, running Microsoft Security Essential, and malwarebytes and it downloaded without a problem.

Any ideas?

Clean your IE11 cache then try downloading the slim version.

Windows 7 enterprise x32, IE 11. CCleaner 5.06 free does not install, same for defraggler free, will not install. Tried to download again from Piriform.com (ccleaner 5.06.5219 and defraggler 2.19.982), Windows Defender is saying they contain a virus.

I have downloaded Defraggler 2.19.982 from Piriform (not FileHippo) and uploaded it to VirusTotal

 

As you can see from this result the only AV that flags it is Eset and that is because of the bundled Google offer.

 

No one else in that list (including Microsoft)   flag it as malicious.

there is already 2 questions running in this thread without either OP yet to respond, so to not muddy the waters with a 3rd open question, I suggest you start your own thread where members can direct advice specifically for you @effingham.bellweather

 

 

edit: looks like @hazelnut ninja'd me, so I guess you can disregard...

Doing an update, like I have without error for a decade+, and it says:

 

CCleaner v5.06 Setup

Error opening file for writing:

C:\Program Files\CCleaner\CCleaner64.exe

Click Abort to stop the installation,

Retry to try again, or

Ignore to skip this file.

 

None of which helps although ignoring lets the install complete but opens CC v5.05.5176 (64-bit).

You need to close all running instances of ccleaner before installing (including monitoring). Also don't rename the installer ccleaner.exe

And there are now four open questions in this thread without follow-up by the questioners

I would to install ccleaner on E: in stead of it's default location of C: drive. How do we do this?
