One other feature that Piriform doesn’t list is the expanded Users menu.ĬCleaner Professional lets you run a single system scan on multiple user accounts. It’s home to plenty of knowledgeable CCleaner users and the advice is free. That said, I’ve managed all this time by visiting Piriform’s Community Forum ( ) for advice.

It moves you ahead of people using the free version when you need help from CCleaner’s support team.

This allows me to start a scan when I’m finished with my PC in the evening, knowing it ’ll shut down automatically when the scan has finished.Īs for Automatic Updates, CCleaner practically begs you to keep it updated by placing a ‘Check for updates’ button at the bottom-right of every menu screen, so you’re only ever a click away from the latest version.Īt last, a reason to be cheerful The final added extra, Premium Support, is more useful. These are slightly more useful than Real-time Monitoring, but they’re hardly worth paying for.īesides, I can already run a scan when it ’s convenient in the free version simply by ticking ‘Shutdown after cleaning’ – click Options, then Advanced to find it (see screenshot above).

Scheduled Cleaning and Automatic Updates do just what you’d expect: the former lets you schedule scans for a convenient time, while the latter allows CCleaner to update itself automatically as new versions are released. In the end I switched the feature off altogether by clicking Options, then Monitoring, and removing the ticks next to ‘Enable system monitoring’, ‘Enable browser monitoring’ and Enable Active Monitoring (see screenshot left). Untick the three boxes within Monitoring to stop CCleaner running in the background However, having the program running at all times slows your system and makes it take longer to boot, which largely defeats the point of installing CCleaner in the first place. Real-time Monitoring, for example, just means that CCleaner will run in the background and prompt you whenever it ’s possible to free a certain amount of space (you can set the amount by clicking Options and Monitoring). Thank you!Įxclusive to the Professional version are Real-time Monitoring, Scheduled Cleaning, Automatic Updates and Premium Support, which sound useful but aren’t particularly enticing upon closer inspection.

The first two entries in its bullet-point list of features – Faster Computer and Privacy Protection – are both included in the free version.Ģ5% Off Snagit, Camtasia, & Audiate this week only! Nothing to see here In truth, I was fearing as much as I read Piriform’s description of what to expect from CCleaner Professional. Avast removes CCleaner update after privacy backlash.Thanks for the tip, and also, thanks to the other commentors for being unusually sane and constructive.

I’ve already done this now on a netbook me and my Mom share, and I’m gonna do it to the other Windows machines in the household now. I was actually considering switching to the Windows version of BleachBit (since I like that program on Linux) because I was tired of having to use Autoruns to kill the CCleaner Monitoring process after using the program, but thanks to this article, that’s no longer necessary! I think the best thing to do in this case is to simply let people know about this fix.

“Don’t you think Monitoring as an unnecessary addition to CCleaner, perhaps Piriform here, is wanting you to purchase its Professional version of the tool by offering half features in the free version, which may actually backfire on them by loosing free user base as they switch to other tools.” This has annoyed me about the new CCleaner for quite awhile, but as this article I just found today told me, the real solution is actually super-easy! (I actually would’ve disabled Active Monitoring sooner, but the message prompt scared me off…apparently, it’s no big deal, after all.)
