CCleaner is now available in the cloud

[Batu69]

If you want to clear out temporary files and other left over junk on your computer’s hard drive, Piriform’s CCleaner is arguably the best free solution.

For the past two years, the publisher has been working on a web-based version of CCleaner called Project Agomo. The service was in private beta, so to use it you needed to register your interest and await an invite. That all changes from today however, as Project Agomo is no more. Say hello to its replacement -- CCleaner Cloud.

CCleaner Cloud brings the power of CCleaner to the web, so you can manage and maintain your PC remotely -- and not just your own system either. If you’re regularly being called out to help friends and family members with their PCs, CCleaner Cloud will save you a trip as you can run a full spring clean and trouble-shooting session on their system from wherever you happen to be.

CCleaner Cloud offers the following features:

• Clean and declutter all your temporary files, locally or remotely.
• Defrag drives to improve performance and lifespan.
• Fix problems in the Windows Registry.
• Install or remove software from all of your home or work computers.
• View hardware specs and performance stats for your entire network, including CPU load, memory usage and full disks.

More features will be rolling out in the coming weeks.

You can start using it today. Just go to https://www.ccleaner.com and create an account. At the moment the service still says it's in beta, and you need to register your interest to get an invite, but hopefully that will change very soon.

I've been using Project Agomo since it first rolled out, and can wholeheartedly recommend it.

wait so does a cloud mean that rather than having to install ccleaner on your pc, you can instead run it from the cloud as long as you have an account ?

Sorry to digress but is my ccleaner compromised ? because when i run the analyze i keep getting this message recently

but when i ran hitman, nod32, mbam in the ccleaner app folder, no alarms were raised :/

It means ur nod may not be correctly setup, not sure if u realized, but as the message say, the file was there, and when ccleaner tried to clean up(it needs to access to move to recycle, at this point it was detected, so my best bet is that for some reason nod is ignoring ur temp folder.

And also, I may be wrong but this file seems to be coming from a KMS activator for Windows, if that was the case this may be generate from time to time or was used in a recent installation.

Try copying the file again to the folder and manually scan the folder, and again with a full scan, if u can find with a manual scan but not with the full scan u should report to eset cause this shouldn't happen, if u can't detect using manual or full scan then u may have setup eset to ignore temp folders.

So, to be clear, this ISN'T ACCUSING CCLEANER this is saying that there was a "virus"(likely a false alarm) in the temp folder.

ah... i think i get it now.

yeah i had already whitelisted this in nod32. from my understanding though some naughty things do try to use this dll, but for my setup it's most likely used for kms auto for windows 10. so definitely false positive.

i just wasn't sure in this case, whether it was to do with ccleaner, cause it kept mentioning that ccleaner64.exe xd

anyway thx again ;)

Does this mean that even more clueless people can hose their systems with CCleaner without even installing it...yay!

Cant count the number of repairs ive done over the years for people who've used CCleaner, i could retire.....

In fact the problem itself is not in CCleaner, it's just that Microsoft decided to screw registry cleaners by using empty registry keys... with no value/data at all.

I didn't use it yet in Windows 10 to clean the registry cause I'm reinstalling it almost once every 1~2 months anyway, but I had a few headaches myself in Windows 8~8.1.

got ccleaner but just using the cleaner part of it.... not the reg cleaner part
