Is CCleaner - Slim version safe? what options do I have to uncheck in the latest version to "keep my privacy" using CC

Thanks
Came

@Camellia ...... These three. I'm not sure the Slim even has them, don't use it. But, if so, same three.

@camelia

I only use the Slim Build. Uncheck this:

Use "file list" and "save settings to .INI file"

You have to disable automatic updates to avoid getting the regular build installed via an auto update check.

Block connection in firewall

Optional delete the updater

Just manually check for new builds.

I just got updated to CCleaner 5.57, but can't find it yet on their site.

Hi folks

My view on these types of products are that they are slightly better than "snake oil".

These days if you take decent backups before doing anything with a computer like installing software that doesn't have proper uninstall details then you won't need any of these things -- a macrium (free) restore for example on an average machine from say an external SSD shouldn't take more than around 15 mins anyway.

If your machine is in such a state that you need to use these types of products you probably would be better off doing a complete fresh windows re-install.

cheers

Jimbo, you are welcome to your opinion, but I do not think it is shared by all. This thread has been active for 4 1/2 years, so the product has value to many.
