Gordian Knot Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Thanks Kalju, but I’m using the standard edition not the Business/Professional etc. I have no need for those extra features, so... The downgrade did the trick, I’m back to normal. And by normal I mean I click the shortcut and CCleaner is up & running in less than a second. Perhaps I should have mentioned that I've set some rules in the firewall (KIS) to block CCleaner’s outbound connections. Every time the user is pressing "Run Cleaner" in "Custom Clean", the program is accessing the internet sending *reports*. I am NOT OK with this. 22 minutes ago, Kalju said: @Gordian Knot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To flush anything "temp": Recycle Bin, Temporary files, Clipboard etc. I also use "Registry Clearer" regularly (once a day), otherwise you end up with a long list. It’s easier to handle a few entries each time, they’re much more manageable don’t you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for flushing things, I'm certain once a week will suffice, unless you are really truly running out of space that you need every last MB. But with regard to "Registry Cleaner" although I do not recommend using that to any normal user (ones without proper knowledge of how windows registry works), if you are using a recent OS (pretty much anything beyond XP/7) you should not get any long list unless something is wrong with the OS or -with all due respect- the user's way of using the machine. So based on that, I still believe there is no need for daily usage; leaving aside using such apps 4-5 times a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time the user is pressing "Run Cleaner" in "Custom Clean", the program is accessing the internet sending *reports*. I am NOT OK with this. This behavior with slow launch is caused by the fact that the executable(C:\Program Files\CCleaner\CCleaner.exe) is blocked in your firewall. If you unblock it from the firewall you'll notice that it will launch almost instantly. Indeed,in the previous versions (< 5.66.0.7705) there was no such problem. I'm currently using the latest PRO version. I blocked in firewall only CCUpdate.exe and added the line 127.0.0.1 license.piriform.com in host file. As in any version which I used before, I unchecked from Privacy Settings &Information those 3 boxes and I disabled Automatic Smart Cleaning . It works without problems. However,if I have to worry about data collection and other telemetry stuff,I reconcile with the thought that I don't yet have an NSA server 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkyy Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 I used to use installed versions of CCleaner and then one day I decided to try a portable version (my other name is Dan Dare). Since then I have stayed with portable versions. I tried various sources but the one I go for every time is by El Chupacabra. I never have a problem with it, no lags, no slow start up and well blocked.😀😀😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KXR75 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Yes confirmed, Program become slow start when you block it from phone home through firewall, but fast start when you block their IP into the host file or simply didn't block it at all. This bad behaves only will trigger if the machine state connected to the internet. CCleaner + Firewall block + Internet on = Slow start CCleaner + Firewall block + Internet off = Fast start CCleaner + Host IP block + Internet on = Fast start CCleaner + Host IP block + Internet off = Fast start CCleaner + Firewall block + Host IP block + Internet on = Slow start CCleaner + Firewall block + Host IP block + Internet off = Fast start In some case CCleaner still can reach their update server even when you set up manual update+not notify update plus blocking all CCleaner exe through firewall. Well...therefore I put these entry lines into my host file.

Its only single usage, in a round with similar apps like privazer and bleachbit, is to clean up fresh installs of windows, when the network is still off. Then the whole system is frozen with shadow defender. Why relying on these clean-up apps when it's so simple to reboot and get a fresh clean system?

vaniglia Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 in my case i just added 127.0.0.1 license.piriform.com to my hosts files to prevent license verification. tried to use ActVer Activator but it gives me an error every time i tried to use it so i used another crack. now i have ccleaner installer like this: running 5.66.7716 Professional, updated from 5.64 using ActVer updater. Cracked using Thirdzky Universal Crack (to remove an old invalid serial key). also using Pawel97 anti telemetry patch (version.dll file) was all i need to use it fully. if you do not block license.piriform.com access you will get this error: check how, even when i used a crack and pawel97 patch, pro options are disabled. when i block that domain, it changes to enabled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 5/1/2020 at 10:31 PM, Abacaxi said: The only difference between the two is that Slim doesn't include Yahoo Toolbar. Contrary to popular belief, it DOES include more than just English. No offense @Abacaxi but you had forgot to mention the portable version. Which remain safe even today ! Despite the time (several years), I can confirm the fact : nothing has changed. That's why folks you won't find any malware (no toolbar, no crapware, no adware, etc). PS For the record, when I use the word malware it's also a reference which include this kinds of craps : PUP = "Potentially Unwanted Programs" PUA = "Potentially Unwanted Applications" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ecarion Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Take a look over the internet @T3rM1nat0Rr3 ! As we can see, a lot of people have met a security trouble. Because they don't have any knowledge on this matter. Don't forget this fact because even today these people doesn't have a huge knowledge about the computer (hardware, software, etc, etc, etc). At the beginning @zanderthunder I was thinking the same. But after a decade, I had learn sometimes it better to be very precise. These kinds of adware have create too much trouble and it won't stop unless a miracle happened... How many people are aware of the existence of Unchecky ? It's just an example which describe the real world (the number is small). That's why I had changed my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hosts and FW block for fast startup needed for untouched free CCleaner version to keep it from calling home. Then you need to add the following sub domains to your hosts file to protect your license. The most common sub domain license.piriform.com is only connected via TCP to verify and validate the license, while both are connected via UDP to verify and validate the license. Register a new key with a network connection will be the same as without a network connection. 0.0.0.0 alpha-crap-stage.ff.avast.com 0.0.0.0 alpha-license-dealer-stage.ff.avast.com In order to block Avast domains through the hosts file, Avast user need to disable the "self defense" feature. Even if the hosts file is set to read only, without disabling the "self defense" feature, Avast will automatically remove any Avast domains on the hosts file.

I don't need a license with the free untouched portable. The host entries used to redirect checking network connectivity plus the firewall block is enough in my case to keep ccleaner from ever using the internet. Nothing changes my host file and I get notified if it does get changed. Edit: LiveTcpUdpWatch still shows connections being made, but no data being passed. I forgot to look there. I've gotten so used to using TCPLogView which was showing clean. 🤕 I assume these get blocked by the firewall no?
