Go to the CCleaner community forums. This new version is destroying people’s PC’s. Including deleteing or disabling programs.
Not what you are looking for, but here is my advice:
Uninstall 7, then reinstall v6.39, the latest “safe” version, but DO NOT run the program.
First create a new rule in Windows Defender Firewall. Block C: program filesCCleanerCCleaner.exe. Create a second rule to block C: program filesCClenerCCleaner64.exe. Also delete CCUpdate.exe in the same folder.
Disable CCleaner in Windows task scheduler too. If you just block automatic updates in the program, it will force an update after 1 year.
Then you will get this, even if you try to check for updates:
Then enjoy the program that you could actually trust at one time…
