Hello;

It appears that Microsoft Security Essentials dislikes the eBay stuff you offer in CCleaner. I understand that this may be a source of income for you and that is okay by me. ;)

But could I PLEASE, please have a chance to buy a "license" for a version without Yabector?

Eagerly awaiting your (positive?) reply. TIA.

Hi eikelein, and welcome to Piriform.

Piriform doesn't offer any ebay stuff in it's install of CCleaner, only the Yahoo Toolbar, which you have the option to uncheck. And CCleaner is free to all.

It sounds like you've downloaded a rogue version, or a program with a similar name.

Download CCleaner from here:

Where did you download that program from?

I've tried to report it to eBay countless times but they make it damn near impossible. CCleaner has been on there for over a year now!
Complexity of incoherent design.

MR. T can you file a Vero claim? http://pages.ebay.co...vero/index.html

Of course with e(vil)Bay it is buyer beware. . . and the seller explicitly tells you that you are buying freeware ;)
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.
CCLEANER, RECUVA, DEFRAGGLER AND SPECCY DOCUMENTATION CAN BE FOUND AT www.piriform.com/docs
