CCleaner 5.46.6652

[knowledge-Spammer]

but with little changes it can be made to stop call home and more  and u not need to firewall or more  just edit the program but if we can do it y cant ccleaner team do it  or they no want to   i wait again for next version and hope for best   but i not think things will change  shame

maybe ill post a pimping  versions  with out version numbers   and bs things people not use in side ccleaner    ?

[dcs18]

Even if you wait for an eternity, CCleaner is not gonna change — it has been swallowed by a shark.

 

The only way-out, is to learn how to block it — telemetry is here to stay.

 

People will receive a rude shock when they find-out how much telemetry is used by their security systems — firewalls, Anti-Virus, etc., etc. (10 times more than CCleaner.)

It is nice to be an optimistic, but I think the things are getting worse with every new version...

The moment you edit even 1 byte of any program, its digital signature is lost and you expose that app. to undue and repeated scanning by your security system — why do you think some of us continue to deploy traditional counter-measures . . . . . without patching and keygenning?

yes u is right but if u see my own versions i post on ccleaner topics the digital signature is removed 

plus i never use pro version i see no need   so i not have keygens for ccleaner  maybe its just me but i like to test the free version as it will show  whats going on  with pro or free   must things i can show and say but real i am sure u not want to see or read  but i am sure someone from ccleaner team see this i hope

One little tip — especially for you . . . . . . no matter which version you use, just block the following 3 executables completely:—

• CCleaner.exe
• CCleaner64.exe
• CCUpdate.exe

 

ps:—

Remember telemetry is (and was always) present on all versions of CCleaner (only, the magnitude has increased now.)

Would it be easier to block the ISP telemetry in the HOST file if possible - if so, anybody got the IP addresses to block

The hosts file does not possess the capability to block IPs.

Hosts file has been called so because is able to block hosts, instead of IPs.
A host has a generic format like this : domain-name.extension : nsaneforums.com.

We are synchronized

[dcs18]

Also, an increasing number of apps. & programs are now able to reset the hosts file to its default state — consequently, causing a deactivation of all other non-related programs, as well.

For example?

And even if the hosts is set Read-only?

Yamicsoft Windows Manager and TuneUp Utilities.

 

Just the 2 then(!)

 

Whatever, I wouldn't use any program that not only changed a file's set Attributes but reset it back to a default entries willy-nilly.

Most would be annoyed if using something like MVPS Hosts and a program reset it.

Hello

Anyway it's been years that the logs and Microsoft collect our data
Ticking a box or not will not change anything.

Does the Security tab under the Properties of your file permit the hosts to regain the capability to block IPs?

Avast bought Piriform's safe app, which was nicely configured, to easily be turned on to calling home collecting your data.

That was Avast's intention from Day One, unfortunately, the plan backfired into malware on Avast's first version attempt 5.33, now we know why and what they were really attempting to do.

Avast purchased Piriform July 19 2017. Last Piriform Version v5.32.6129 (11 Jul 2017).

Avast's first attempt Version 5.33 was the Security Incident Hack. A failure, embarrassment, and the real truth.

 

The public and most importantly Martin Brinkmann, Owner of ghacks called Avast out, with Version 545, which they had to remove because of Martin speaking publicly.

https://www.ghacks.net/2018/08/01/ccleaner-5-45-dont-install/

 

Thanks to knowledge, Recruit, dcs18, the replacement 5.46, re-added the boxes, they found its a disguise, still calling home with Pro boxes unchecked.

 

Recruit is right, 

"I am not willing to study this crap for the rest of the life. I have to do any other things...."

Me too.

 

I've been using an older version. Been using these two, but 542 needs further call home inspection now.

532 9.29 MB Last Piriform Version

542 15.0 MB Last Avast Version without settings for Options>Privacy.

 

Confirmed Danger so far anything after:

543 15.1 MB Adds three boxes in Options>Privacy [Control which data we collect].

 

Get the old version's immediately, before Avast wises up and takes them away.

Manually adjust the ## at the end to your choice of download to save.

https://download.ccleaner.com/ccsetup5##.exe

https://www.ccleaner.com/ccleaner/version-history

 

I not familiar with Pi-hole.  We somebody has time could they check version 5.42 & 5.32 ?

 

dcs18 say "ps:—

Remember telemetry is (and was always) present on all versions of CCleaner (only, the magnitude has increased now.)"

 

For knowledge and others, CCleaner's main feature is Pro, is automatically cleaning your browser when you close it.

But its your job to manually turn on & choose if you want notification banner on or off. I want & need it on.

I still need CCleaner from knowing if Edge was closed or tricked by Microsoft to stay open to spy also. I don't even use Edge.

 

Now moving forward, we know, Avast has ruined the app. We gave them one more change, and find out they want to trick the public, bring back the boxes because of Martin, that are useless.

On Piriform forums, they have warned me, not Banned yet, but a warning for being politely honest, in respect to assisting them.

These are the original Piriform volunteers, who are kissing up to Avast, who have turned on the Public, they work for free, but won't quit, weird.

We know who in this thread has already been banned by their Forums.
https://forum.piriform.com/

I'm done helping their Forums, useless. If your mad send Martin Brinkmann Owner of ghacks, the logs, he is a Public figure, who can cause Avast a rise.

Does not matter anyway, Avast wants to sell your data, I don't blame them, this is what life is all about. They found a perfect app that already had it built in, they just connected it to call home a lot.

 

Thanks again for the logs.

My post which you quoted was a direct reference to 2 consecutive posts made about the hosts file — unfortunately, T3rM1nat0Rr3 chose to pounce upon my second post which was a mere rejoinder to my first one (check-out the highlighted Also,) and you chose to single-out my response to him . . . . . . well, you should've taken into consideration, the full context under which I commented about the hosts file.

I’d suggest disabling the \CCUpdater Task described as “CCleaner Emergency updater”…
That should give Piriform the ability to reverse all the steps we did here simply through an update.

To harden then Piriform would then likely integrate a silent auto upgrade upon executing CCleaner manually. (Users will then react renaming the separate updater .exe) -> To harden against that then Piriform will likely integrate the updater process into the ccleaner.exe, not into an external .exe (users will then likely edit their hosts file so that the server isn’t reachable) -> To harden against that Piriform will likely hardcode the update-server-IPs into the program so it can’t be a simple host blocking (users will then likely enter a manual antivirus rule to block ccleaner completely from network) – Maybe Piriform will then integrate the updater like a botnet-worm, so they can “infiltrate” PCs with updates for CCleaner carried unknowingly by users on USB-Sticks and other storage devices.
And then Antivirus Databases will list CCleaner and block them from the majority of PCs on the world…

Keep on the fight Piriform – you’ll loose no matter what…

was just misunderstanding  but u both have good info  so it cant hurt to see more nice comments?️
