fayesnorth Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Not sure what to make of this since I've been using CCleaner for years and haven't encountered it before! The attached has appeared on my desktop a couple times and I ignore it wondering if it's legitimate. Is it legitimate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators nukecad Posted November 3, 2018 Moderators Share Posted November 3, 2018 Yes it's legit. It's a promotion that they have been running with a discount if you buy the pro version. *** Out of Beer Error ->->-> Recovering Memory *** Worried about 'Tracking Files'? Worried about why some files come back after cleaning?

PeterGibb Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Useful to know, I would never open anything if it just popped up like that...! Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted November 3, 2018 Moderators Share Posted November 3, 2018 I think it would be less confusing if offers like that were only shown in the main program GUI, then people would know for sure it's legitimate and exactly where it's coming from.

Moderators Nergal Posted November 3, 2018 Moderators Share Posted November 3, 2018 I agree, it flies in the face of good security. One should never click on random pop-ups, especially those that make it seem like they got a gift or won something, which this one does. 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.

Moderators Andavari Posted November 3, 2018 Moderators Share Posted November 3, 2018 With how prevalent malware is you'd think a company owned by an antivirus/antimalware company would've known that, maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators hazelnut Posted November 4, 2018 Moderators Share Posted November 4, 2018 Just another needless addition to the program. It's getting to the point that the 'needless additions' such as popups, quick cleans and data collection now are starting to outweigh the basic program. Please can we have our CCleaner back?
