  1. I can delete cookies in Tools/Internet Options/Delete Browsing History. I can also delete cookies in CCleaner/Internet Explorer/(Tick the Cookies Box). But if I go to CCleaner/Options/Cookies there is a whole list of Cookies still there under a heading "Cookies to Delete". So why are these Cookies not being deleted when I run CCleaner or for that matter when I delete cookies in Internet Explorer? Can anyone help please?

    There are 2 other threads already on this topic:

    Many users are experiencing this problem with the latest version of Ccleaner. The new version seems to be detecting a listing of old cookies which the previous didn't detect.

     

    I have this problem, the cookies are listed in 'Cookies to delete' but when I do a search on my PC for these cookies, it fails to find them!

     

    I have uninstalled the latest version of Ccleaner and reinstalled the previous version and now the 'cookies to delete' box is empty.

     

    Hopefully this problem will be sorted out soon.

  2. The only thing I can suggest at the moment is to maybe try the previous version of CCleaner again, and see if it works for you as it previously did.

     

    If it does, then that more or less eliminates a cause on your end.

     

    We're having one or two similar posts at the moment from folk using the latest version.

    Hope that helps.

     

    Yeah if I use the previous version of Ccleaner I'm sure those cookies won't show up, but the information will still be on my PC somewhere which I find disconcerting. Still at least the 'cookies to delete' section won't look cluttered.

     

    I will go back to the previous version for now and hopefully they will sort out this problem soon.

  3. You have all applications checked, which means all the browsers, including Opera if it's listed, and Adobe Flash Player if it's listed (let us know if it isn't).

     

    You've rebooted, and tried getting rid of these reluctant cookies in safe mode.

     

    Thinking out loud here as the usual suspects are "Adobe Flash Player", which I believe won't be picked up by CCleaner if you don't have the "ActiveX" Internet Explorer plug-in installed, the Opera check box and the index.dat file.

     

    Are all of these covered andy?

     

    I have Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX & Plugin installed, and Adobe Flash Player is ticked in Ccleaner. Opera is not listed as I don't have it installed. IE8 & Firefox are both selected on Ccleaner.

  4. Try Scroogle, it searches Google for you and sends you the results; that way Google doesn't get your details. Google locates you using your IP address, then targets you with 'appropriate' adverts. Scroogle doesn't store your information or your search terms.

     

    Here is the link for Scroogle: Scroogle.

     

    As for using PayPal online, someone hacked my PayPal account and bought goods on ebay with it. The money left my account and it cost a few quid in phone calls, plus I had to wait to get my money back!

    The above entries are showing in the 'cookies to delete' section (and many more) and they won't delete. They all show as 'Internet Explorer'.

     

    Did a search for these files and was unable to find them.

     

    All applications are ticked in Ccleaner (which is the latest version). I didn't have this problem with the previous version (though the information was probably on my PC but Ccleaner was not detecting it).

     

    I am very concerned about this from a security point of view as one of the cookies is PayPal!

     

    When I search using Windows Explorer, I have 'hide system files' unchecked but it finds nothing. Ccleaner must be getting this information from somewhere!

     

    Rebooting makes NO difference.

     

    Also, tried booting to 'safe mode command prompt', del index.dat /s then rebooted but this didn't work either!

     

    My PC uses Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit and I use both IE8 and Firefox.

  6. or of course you could just check index dats in ccleaner and reboot. :P

     

    I have this same problem since installing the new version of Ccleaner!

     

    I DO have index.dat ticked!

     

    Tried Zero Nova's suggestion, Windows Safe Mode Command Prompt, del index.dat /s and rebooted. Guess what, the cookies are still showing in the 'cookies to delete' section on Ccleaner.

     

    What do I do now?

  7. Often twice a day my printer drivers disappear and then usually try to re-install but often fail. Sometimes I have to do a minimal boot-up using msconfig, then re-install the printer drivers, then do a normal boot-up. Often when I go to print a document I find the printer is not installed.

     

    I've only experienced this problem since having Windows Vista (it used to work fine on Windows XP).

     

    I've had this problem LONG BEFORE I installed CCleaner, so it's not to blame.

     

    No idea what causes this problem, and neither had Hewlett Packard.

     

    My printer is HP Officejet J5780 All-in-one.
