In the new version, Piriform added the που σας επιτρέπουν να απενεργοποιήσετε την διαδικασία s but also disable the sending of anonymous usage statistics.CCleaner 5.46

In the previous version of CCleaner 5.45, users found that they could not permanently disable the Active Monitoring feature of the application. The function would automatically start the next restart of the application or computer. With the new version, you can disable anonymous usage of data on Piriform, which you could not do in the 5.45 version that the company withdrew.

It's worth mentioning that in the previous version, not only could you not disable the feature, but you also couldn't close the app! You could minimize CCleaner, there was no obvious way to end the program, which required users to end the process from Task , to close the program.

So Piriform has decided to withdraw the 5.45 version until it can develop the 5.46 version, which was released yesterday.

The Piriform he says:

Privacy Settings
- Added separate check for reporting anonymous usage data
- Added a link to a data bulletin (https://www.ccleaner.com/about/data-factsheet), which explains the data reported by CCleaner, why it is reported and used.

Smart Cleaning
- We renamed the "Monitoring" feature to "Smart Cleaning" to better describe its function (smart cleaning alerts)
- We have redrafted the controls for the sake of clarity
- If Smart Cleaning is off, the CCleaner background process will be shut down and will not run again on startup

General information
- Restore previous System Tray and minimize
- Various stability issues have been fixed

CCleaner 5.46 gives you control over your data

With the release of CCleaner 5.46, users seem to be able to decide how their data is sent, whether anonymous or not, to Piriform.

Those wishing to disable the sending of anonymous usage data can do so from the options: Options - Privacy and disable the "Help improve CCleaner by sending anonymous usage data" option.

In the new version, you can now also turn off Smart Cleaning from Options - Smart Cleaning.

If you want to use the app again, you should be careful during installation as it still shows installation offers for other apps too, for example you should untick to not install or Avast.

Piriform also offers a slim version that does not contain such offers. You can download it from here.
