Ccleaner slim 2018 64 Bit#

Georg has send me the above screenshot from Control panel showing the installed update. I discovered that CCleaner 5.46 has been installed. In the Control Panel (Programs and Functions), I have sorted the installed software updates by date. In version 5.46 Slim (Settings –> Privacy) the function 'Help improve CCleaner by sending anonymous usage' was activated. If Avast did this systematically, then the data sniffing has reached a new peak. I had definitely deselected the option for automatic updates.

Just now I had to find out on 3 computers with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit that CCleaner Slim version 5.38 has been updated yesterday () automatically to v5.46. This night, several e-mails arrived from German blog reader Georg S., who drew my attention to another ccleaner story. I had summarized my thoughts in the article CCleaner V 5.46 with improved data settings and assumed that (according to my blog posts) nobody actually lets the software on his systems anymore. The users should be able to adjust if and what the CCleaner does.

After a big outcry among the users, Piriform decided to completely withdraw version 5.45 of the CCleaner at the beginning of August 2018.Īfter the complete revision the CCleaner version 5.46 was released at the end of August 2018.

With the CCleaner version 5.45, Piriform had upgraded its telemetry data collection (see AVAST CCleaner 5.45 and Telemetry). Since security provider AVAST took over developer Piriform in 2017, the mishaps have been increasing. About the CCleaner and the trouble it caused, I've published a lot of articles here in the blog.
