Duckie Doodle Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I've been getting annoying"Popups", for lack of a better word, since I bought the CCleaner Professional package. I've gotten a screen asking me to update Slimware/Driver Update and I was getting updates for some gamer control, which I never use. Any suggestions what I can do? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trium Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 this is not ccleaner. its a competitor -> slimware perhaps you have installed "slimdrivers" or somethings similar Versions of CCleaner Cloud; Introduction Ccleaner Cloud; Ccleaner-->System-Requirements; Ccleaner FAQ´s; Ccleaner builds; Scheduling Ccleaner Free Es ist möglich, keine Fehler zu machen und dennoch zu verlieren.

trium Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 try to look in the "uninstall" section of ccleaner and looking for "slimware/driverupdate" and if you want -> uninstall "slimware/driverupdate" or similar after an restart look at the "startup" if there is some kind of "slimware..."

(Note it's not a rival of CCleaner - they do totally different jobs).https://www.malwarebytes.com/adwcleaner/ Malwarebytes itself can also remove some Adware alongside it's usual malware protection. It does it differently from ADWcleaner, so may be worth a go if ADW doesn't get rid of the stuff.https://www.malwarebytes.com/ *** Out of Beer Error ->->-> Recovering Memory *** Worried about 'Tracking Files'?

Moderators nukecad Posted September 26, 2018 Moderators Share Posted September 26, 2018 You read/quoted me wrong trium, I was saying that ADWcleaner was not a rival, despite them both having '...cleaner' in their names they are do widely different things. *** Out of Beer Error ->->-> Recovering Memory *** Worried about 'Tracking Files'?
