Moderators mta Posted October 13, 2014 Moderators Share Posted October 13, 2014 double click the downloaded .EXE file, follow the prompts (untick the Google stuff if you don't want that) and it'll put an icon on the screen. double click the icon to start CCleaner, usually the default settings suffice and click Analyse to see what it will remove. if you're happy with the results, click Run Cleaner and it will remove the crap.

login123 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Ninja'ed by mta. I would only add this, but this is just me, maybe overly cautious. Uncheck all the boxes in the CCleaner tabs and the registry section. Go back into the CCleaner tabs and check and clean each box one at a time until you find out what each one does. Don't use the registry cleaner unless you are absalooteley sure what you are doing. Remember where you saved the registry backups if you do. also, This post shows you how to turn off the monitoring function if you want to: http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=41860 The CCleaner SLIM version is always released a bit after any new version; when it is it will be HERE :-) Pssssst: ... It isn't really a cloud. Its a bunch of big, giant servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mta Posted October 13, 2014 Moderators Share Posted October 13, 2014 ah yes, the monitoring, thanks @login123, I forgot about that new 'feature' being ON. one day it may be turned off as the default setting.
