Hi Franky,

When I upgraded to the new version my cookie 'keeps' were automatically saved to the new version. You should experience the same thing.

The *new* version of CCleaner 1.35 has spyware in it, according to my Stopzilla - identified by Stopzilla as "Z". The old version had no spyware - why does this one have Spyware? I'm sticking with the old version.

Does this mean CCleaner is going to try to remain to be free by including Spyware?

Hi Elijah5,

I run AVG Anti-Spyware, Spyware Blaster, Ad-Aware SE and Spybot S&D along with Windows Defender and my Firewall and anti-virus program and none of them detect any problems with the new CCleaner version.

Your program most likely is finding a 'false positive'.

Don't think it's a false positive - Stopzilla said the Spyware it detected tried to modify my hosts registry and add all this spyware/adware sites.....

So think again - Stopzilla is one of the best spyware things out there right now - I also run SpyCatcher, Spybot and Ad-Aware and Spyware Blaster - I use a combination of all these to keep my computer spyware free.

CCleaner doesn't contain any adware or spyware. Its just a false detection by stopzilla. MrG who is the author of ccleaner will just have to contact them and have them fix this issue.

I would un-install StopZilla then open Windows Explorer and navigate to the Program Files Folder and send the StopZilla Folder if still present into the Recycle Bin then run CCleaner to flush SZ into the bit bucket with the rest of the swill down there.

Franky if you install the new version over the top of your present one ( that is do not uninstall the old one first) it will automatically save all your settings

I seriously doubt that you are spyware free. Multiple applications of similiar software causes instability of system and may cause each and every similiar program to not work properly, hence you do not have multiple virus applications on same PC for added security.
I use the full suite of "F-Secure" anti-virus, which works very well, and the settings are such that it detects spyware B4 it is installed, not after the fact (until I scan), I received no "spyware" or "adware" warnings while installing CCleaner. Although I have not run the virus-scan since installing (installed 2 hrs ago), I am confident that when I do, I will have a cclean bill of health.

I have the latest version of CCleaner. I ran Spyware Doctor, it says CCleaner\uninst.exe as
Trojan.Popuper.downloader. Is it safe for me to use the software?
