Ccleaner for mac problems install#

In trying to fix this I've had to do a full, deep uninstall of this unwanted CCleaner version completely and do a fresh install to get it back to what it was and all working perfectly.īut this has resulted in the deletion of all my saved cookies for the second time in 24hrs (couldn't take the risk one of the Piriform or AVAST cookies would prompt another update). There is also this problem with Firefox indicating the unticked option to hide warning messages is not working for that and who knows what else? Point is it wouldn't have been a problem if the bloody thing was working properly, it probably would have slipped under my radar.Īpart from the fact it has ignored my setting in regards to updates, there shouldn't have been any check let alone a high-handed install without any warning. So what was causing this change? Well I was using an older version of CCleaner, for good reasons, and despite the fact it was still showing as that yesterday when I booted it this morning what do I find? I'll tell you what: it had been updated, against my express wishes in the settings to the latest version: 5.46.whatever.

But it was still doing it so I used a portable copy of the same version and that behaved 100% as it normally does with the prompt to shutdown Firefox if open.īTW along with the Registry pre-cleaning backup prompt It is one of the few prompts with I actually find useful and not annoying. Unusual and even though I had not changed the settings I checked anyway and the option for hiding warning messages was still unchecked and all my other settings similarly unchanged. Yesterday I noticed that even though I had Firefox open when I used CCleaner it had 'Skipped' all Firefox cleaning without prompting me to close the browser.
