The original company where I worked no longer exists.The Windows notification area, also known as the system tray, shows the system clock and other important icons such as network and audio volume by default. (The way that meant they had not been chosen).ДЎ0 years later they still do design work for the site, but are no longer approved contractors. One of the losers, a much bigger international company, bought us out to acquire the approved status, and immediately insisted that we did things their way. This status meant that we were first choice for a lot of work. We acquired 'Approved Contractor' status as a design house for Sellafield nuclear site, because we did things right. TBH I've seen similar to this before, where I worked. It's almost as if someone is deliberately trying to drive users away from CCleaner? June 2018- Now we get this intrusive advertising via a pop-up notification. (Required by GDPR, but introduced very ineptly, didn't even comply with GDPR and needed a 'hotfix', the programme still doesn't comply fully with GDPR although the privacy statement does). May 2018- Enter the confusing/misleading new privacy statement/menu (v5.43). (v5.41 was when the new summary screen appeared, and was immediately critisized/despised by many). March 2018- The CCleaner installer size took a 36% increase from 11KB to 15KB (v5.41).

(This has no easy option to disable it and could allow Avast/Piriform to install literally anything).

October 2017- An 'emergency updater' was bundled in the CCleaner installer (v5.36). September 2017- Issues started with the Avast offer installing itself without showing the offer (v5.35). (The hackers had been inside Piriform since March 2017 - Just when did Avast decide to acquire Piriform?). Unknown - Avast decides to acquire Piriform, and hence CCleaner the market leader in cleaners.ДЄugust 2017- The CCleaner installer (v5.33) was hacked.

I don't like conspiracy theories but I'm just going to put a 'consider this' hat on here for a moment:ДЄugust 2016- Avast releases it's own stand-alone PC cleaning utility. I'm not sure whether this will have any success but feel that it has to be worth a try. There are only three possible solutions - CCleaner (Avast) changes policy, you accept this and live with it, or, move on to another product.ДЇor the moment I'll stay with it and try to help influence a policy change.

Kudos to bjm_ for posting a link for Martin Brinkmann's article in the Norton Tech Outpost board and confirming that blocking CCleaner's outbound connections should prevent this annoying pop-up ad. I haven't tried this workaround, but my Norton Smart Firewall provides a simple way to prevent access of the CCleaner executable through my firewall at Settings | Firewall | Program Control:

The one downside to this is that you will have to download new versions manually to install them, at least until the July 7 deadline is reached.' If you disallow the program to connect to the Internet, for example with TinyWall or Windows Firewall Control, it seems that you won't get the advertising popup. What you can do is block CCleaner's Internet access. In fact, there is no option at all to prevent this kind of behavior. ' There is no option in the program to disable the advertising popup. However, this persistent cookie and notification cannot be blocked or deleted and the stupid thing comes up every time I turn on my computer or restart it. As I responded in another thread, I don't mind a pop-up once or twice as I'm using a free product and CCleaner does have a right to try and make some money.

Shame about the pop-ups on the portable version.

Hello Imacri: I can live with a manual check for updates. If I want to check for updates with CCleaner Portable I just check manually by clicking the Check for Updates link the the bottom of the GUI.ДЈ2-bit Vista Home Premium SP2 * Firefox ESR v52.9.0 * Norton Security v22.14.2.13 * CCleaner Portable If you go to Options | Settings in CCleaner Portable you can still enable Inform me of updates to CCleaner, but if you are using the portable version then you are likely only plugging in your USB drive and running CCleaner Portable off your thumb drive when you want to run the occasional disk cleanup. Sadly, I just unzipped the CCleaner Portablev on a USB thumb drive and I'm seeing the same obtrusive pop-up ads in my system tray.
