![]() I just ran CCleaner (5.42) and the new graphic results showed "1,283 tracking file(s) removed". Question: Where did the 66 'tracking' files come from Firefox browser or home page? 'Cos I sure did not go anywhere else during this test. Remember that my CCleaner program is still running, so I now click on the 'Run Cleaner' button and only have to wait a few seconds before I am informed that under ' Privacy' 66 tracking file(s) removed and under ' Junk' 2.6MB of unnecessary file(s) removed. I did not click on any area of the very informative CCleaner home page except to close my Firefox browser. But Before closing CCleaner, I clicked on the CCleaner Professional logo in the top left hand corner to open home page, which I arrived at only after being told I was being re-directed after I clicked on the CCleaner Professional logo. ![]() Ran CCleaner twice in succession, there were no traces of 'Privacy' files or 'Junk' files. I'm intrigued Stephen Piriform and RobertK, even after installing the latest release (v5.42) and performing two clean-up runs, here is what I found. Here's hoping that the Techsperts in here, may be able to shed some light on this strange imbalance RobertK, if only to enlighten those of us that do not have their skill level. Please Note: Malwarebytes does not produce any warnings about my very many years of visiting Piriform or My Post count is very low 'cos I don't usually have any Piriform issues. My Malwarebytes PREMIUM is always up to date, and it too is an excellent defence against nasties, although I have to say, I would be very surprised if nasties were hiding in the web pages I choose to visit, so it generally only warns me when I follow links on websites such as Forums. In view of the type of activity that takes place on my local club Facebook page (which, as club secretary, I reluctantly have to use for communicating with club members) the annoying volume of advertisements that FB insists on bruising my vision with, is kept in check with my uBlock Origin 1.16.0, which does an excellent job of blocking FB's futile adversing efforts. 3 GB) I only browsed two websites and checked my very small email Inbox.ĭid another run with CCleaner shortly afterwards and got a staggering 3310 tracking files removed against a miserly 241MB's of removed unnecessary files! For example After cleaning up all the stuff that CCleaner warns me to do (Set to. Your numbers are considerably smaller than those that I have been getting, so much so that the 'tracking files removed' are always well in excess of the 'Junk' files that are removed by my CCleaner Pro v. Thanks for bringing this issue up RobertK, I was beginning to think there was something very strange going on too, with my CCleaner Pro v. Perhaps someone here can furnish an explanation as Piriform seems unwilling to do so, Perhaps you have an idea of what is happening and, if so, I would be glad to hear it. It seems to me that there are only two explanations: TfL status either Ccleaner is not deleting all the tracking files but only thinks it is or that more tracking files are being produced between runs of Ccleaner but how can that be if the Internet connection to the PC is turned off? above - see screen3.jpg - and this time it claimed to have deleted 4 tracking files. This time it claimed to have deleted 5 tracking files.ģ. I closed Ccleaner Portable and then ran it again - see screen2.jpg. According to this, Ccleaner has deleted 85 tracking files.Ģ.

I have a further query and would be glad if you could cast some light on the matter. The easiest way to express my question is to copy in the text of my (unanswered) email to support (you will have to imagine the screen shots for yourselves!) About two weeks ago I sent an enquiry to Piriform support but have as yet not received any reply or acknowledgement so I am trying this forum as an alternative.įirst, what is it that Ccleaner calls 'tracking files'? Are these what everyone else calls 'tracking cookies' or something different? My query concerns the fact that Ccleaner seems never seem to remove these entirely. I am using Ccleaner Portable on a Windows 8.1 PC.
