Boris Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Just click on the "Show Advanced Report" (top right) to get the old screen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted March 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Thanks. The trouble is that as soon as you do another scan, the same window appears. I DON'T LIKE IT, can you tell them to stop it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Look at the comments made on the Filehippo download pages. You're not the only one to object to the recent changes. Like some of the commenters, I am having second thoughts about using this software as I don't like any program trying to sneak in anything I don't positively want - like Avast. I can only see it getting worse. There are a whole string of programs listed at the bottom of the download pages waiting to be added to the list.

Gandalph Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Unless I can get the Download direct from Piriform, I don't bother with it. It's only for my Laptop anyway which is very rarely used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they don’t revert to how it was before,like pops I will uninstall it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belatucadrus Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 I'm not sure what to make of the first "Comment": Quote Using this software has always destroyed much of the working functionality of many installed programs and windows functionality itself including the ability to execute and or install many programs without fatal errors. This from a self proclaimed IT admin, all I can say is that I've used CCleaner for decades and it has never once caused any problems and if true that it destroys his systems what set him off to pass comment this time around. Once something gives me grief I drop it and leave well alone cough realplayer cough. I certainly don't bother to come back to it later and complain when it reinforces my preconceptions. PS I also got caught out by the addition of avast! a program I liked hugely but abandoned when it became AdWare all too regularly pushing other avast! products, sometimes using melodramatic warnings that border on being scareware. I have since however noted the tick box and now deselect every time PPS If you dislike the new version so much why not just use an archive version from FileHippo and dump the new one, it's not as if the updates usually make that much difference in day to day use.

andsome Posted March 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 There have been a lot of complaints,hopefully they will abandon this idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanHo Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 I can't see what the fuss is about. The new version gives you a summary of how many tracking files have been removed and the amount of Junk removed which I consider useful. Most of us are living a life of retirement leisure - surely you can spare the time for one extra click to see the other summary. You have made more clicks moaning about it by posting to this thread than you would use in the next several months of running crap cleaner.......

Belatucadrus Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 Just downloaded the update from CCleaner and Chrome advises me that CCleaner wants to download multiple files, did I want to give permission, I didn't. I then start the installation routine and can no longer see the option to deselect avast!. For the first time ever I'm in a quandary, do I trust the ccleaner installer not to foist avast! or other crud on me again. Combine the doubts with the new interface and for the moment I'll pass. Try again a few versions down the line see whats changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belatucadrus Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 32 minutes ago, andsome said: I have NEVER had any pushing of Avast from C Cleaner. Or any other program. Largely as you have a third party anti virus installed, Eset if I remember correctly. Of late Ccleaner has been packaged with avast! and if you operate Windows defender as security it assumed you would want the upgrade and offered it on the opening splashcreen. Main problem was it came preselected and any number of people who had updated ccleaner dozens of times and no longer bothered to read the screen got caught out. Nasty surprise when the PC tells you your security has been deactivated, followed by a message that avast! has been installed, particularly when you hadn't consciously asked for it.

You are right I do have Eset, and swear by it. A big plus as I have said before is free telephone support. They are always happy to take control of the computer and correct any problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4\/!d Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 I've just re-installed a pre-Christmas version 538, and I feel much better about it. No more CCleaner updates now for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted March 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 Here is the reply to my e mail ## Please write your response above this line ## Your request (#264461) has been updated. You can add a comment by replying to this email. Laurence (Piriform Support) Mar 23, 11:32 EDT Hi, Thank you for your email, sorry you are unhappy with this change to CCleaner. Unfortunately at this time there is no way of making the advanced report the default post clean report screen. However we are monitoring feedback on this change and I will pass any thoughts you have on to the developers. If you need anything else, just email me back. Kind regards, Laurence | CCleaner Support - London, UK Product Docs: http://www.piriform.com/docs Help Center: http://support.piriform.com Kandj Mar 17, 07:22 EDT What on earth has made you adopt the new format? It is terrible. I have found that I can click in the top right hand corner to bring back the old view, but as soon as another scan is carried out the view reverts back to the new terrible view. This email has been sent by Piriform. For more information please visit our website at www.piriform.com [DO6VV8-LW6P] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanHo Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 You old moaner - You have now expended more than enough clicks to last for years on the single click needed to activate the advanced view. Write to Corbyn and ask him to get his Momentum mob to take immediate action against this Tory plot to give old whingers a fit of the vapours...... Meanwhile - go knock a few pins down ..........

AlanHo Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 Regarding the above accusations that CCleaner now has unwanted payloads - I find that if you go direct to the main piriform site at www.ccleaner.com and download from there the only add-ons listed are google chrome and the toolbar. I assume that you get the unwanted stuff when you use the File Hippo. Cnet and other third party hosting sites. When I download updates I do it when I get a window open in CCLeaner to inform me an update is available. This way you just get the update and no extras. (Note that I use the professional version - maybe that is different) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andsome Posted March 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 With the free version,when I open it up,if there is an update available I get a message bottom right of the screen. I never get offered third party software Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanHo Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 I get the same andsome - I click on the auto update when asked and don't ever see any 3rd party pups or software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's an old post of yours but you can calm your nerves by opening CCleaner >Click on Options >Click on Advanced > set cleaning results level of detail to Advanced Report. After running it - it will then not open to the summary window you hate - but to your old favourite. DON'T YOU DARE GROAN! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
