alkhall Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Why, whenever I click the Run Cleaner button on the GUI, does CCleaner want to make an internet connection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted January 30, 2018 Moderators Share Posted January 30, 2018 This should not occur. Did you get ccleaner from piriform's website? What version of ccleaner. What is pointing you toward saying it's making a connection. Maybe you're clicking on run cleaner directly after opening the program and it's checking for updates still. 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.

alkhall Posted January 31, 2018 Author Share Posted January 31, 2018 From both CCleaner website and FileHippo when using the GUI updater. 5.38 and 5.39. Firewall notification. When running installer; first TCP PING command runs, then CCleaner Installer attempts connection, then CCleaner Emergecy Updater attempts connection. After installation; when CCleaner GUI is opened, a UDP connection attempt is made. I have disabled CCleaner Updater and deleted the Updater executable and it continues to attempt UDP connection.

This is expected behavior with the latest versions. CC gathers some usage statistics and sends it home. Confirmed with CC support. If this is bothering you, you can block it with a firewall rule.
