Moderators hazelnut Posted July 24, 2018 Moderators Share Posted July 24, 2018 CCleaner now sends a heartbeat every 12 hours which reports up-to-date usage statistics to allow for faster delivery of bug fixes and product improvements. How I wish I hadn't read that Support contact https://support.ccleaner.com/s/contact-form?language=en_US&form=general or support@ccleaner.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators mta Posted July 24, 2018 Moderators Share Posted July 24, 2018 surely this will be the last straw for many. seriously - just how many releases with flat out bugs or at least (very) undesirable features do Piriform think their user base will tolerate??? Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last.

Guest Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Does the portable version also use/send "heartbeat" reports back to CCleaner? Does using the portable version while being totally disconnected from the Internet prevent heartbeat reporting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy2 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 - Perhaps this sending of statistics to Piriform is the reason why CC (v5.45) keeps runnng after the user has closed the program ? - I don't mind that CC sends some data/statistics to Piriform to help the developers improve the program. But then CC should ONLY do that when the user shuts down the program. I do hope that this happens INDEPENDENT of the CC monitoring feature (This feature should be fixed). - I know that Defraggler also stores some statistics in a file called "Statistics.bin". Is this file send to Piriform as well ? System setup: http://speccy.piriform.com/results/gcNzIPEjEb0B2khOOBVCHPc A discussion always stimulates the braincells !!!

Willy2 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 - Suggestion: Add an option to allow to user to switch off that data collection to be sned.
