dan1 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 In the Applications/Utilities section of the cleaner It shows a program Team Viewer. Since I don't recall seeing this before, I just need to know if that is always an option that can be 'ticked' or does it appear only on PC's that have that program installed? Since I have the other programs in the Utilities section, I assumed that CCleaner lists only those found. -If so, I never downloaded it and I can't find it via the Search function, in Add/Remove or on the entended list provided with the Revo uninstaller. Thanks in advance for any help with my Y/N question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Augeas Posted March 24, 2015 Moderators Share Posted March 24, 2015 Ah, ten seconds of Google saves ten hours of waiting for a response. If it's this - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TeamViewer - then I'd do everything I could to boot it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mta Posted March 24, 2015 Moderators Share Posted March 24, 2015 Team Viewer may not be explained as to how it got on your PC but it is not malware or anything sinister (as I believe that is what @Augeas is hinting at). I've been using it for years, nice little product. Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data.

Moderators Nergal Posted March 25, 2015 Moderators Share Posted March 25, 2015 In itself teamviewer isn't malware, as suggested by @mta, however it is a "remote viewing" software that allows others to monitor your pc's activities, and thus conceivably (while a very slight chance) could be used maliciously if you are unaware of it's source. ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

Moderators Andavari Posted March 25, 2015 Moderators Share Posted March 25, 2015 Some programs will create a registry entry for it, although I don't know if any also install it as a piggyback program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
