Posted March 23, 200619 yr CCleaner v1.28 was released today. It does include the toolbar, so you will need to uncheck the box if you choose to download. I don't know if MrG will release other builds, or not. He isn't saying. CC 1.28 It's 1,408KB in size. EDIT: All 3 builds were just officially released. Yeah! No toolbar. EDIT: Well. This forum is a ghost town today. This is my 3rd edit and no one has seen it. It's for the best because... The download for the slim build says v1.28, but the installer is v1.27. So, that's that.
March 23, 200619 yr Author Yeah that's crap. Just like the cleaner is turning into. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Alot of people are beginning to feel that way. It's part of the reason that I've been playing around with so many other cleaners lately. CCleaner v1.27 was way too jacked up, and for no reason. My serious concern is from MrG not informing anyone about the toolbar. It still isn't listed anywhere that it's bundled in. I'm not a fan of lying, and lying by omission is even worse. It makes him look shady. Oh well, I've moved on. :eyeroll:
March 24, 200619 yr I'll tell you what's really bulls**t! The fact that when you go to the 'Other Builds' section on the website, and click for the slim version of 1.28, you get 1.27 instead! That isn't forgetfullness, that isn't a mistake, THAT IS TOTALLY ON PURPOSE, AND IT IS A CROCK OF SH*T! Let us review: First, MrG puts in a toolbar that no one wants, suggests, or likes. Then, when he finally does make a basic/slim version that people actually want, he hides them, so that most of the "16 Million" downloaders end up with the Yahoo! Version (including my g/f :angry2: )! And now, he is mislabeling his own product on purpose!! What is the deal?! My predictions about CCleaner pulling farther and farther away from the users appears to be turning into a reality far faster than I assumed it would. I wouldn't be surprised if MrG starts making the basic/slim links point to the Yahoo! Build! This is just miserable.
March 24, 200619 yr Administrator Yeah, he's pushing hard to get that TOOLBAR crap version out. Next thing you know, CCleaner will be a Crap "Cleaner".
April 16, 200619 yr i also use this program and i think beside the issue with the inclusive of the toolbar, nothing else really bother me... its a great program... :P
April 24, 200619 yr Hmmmm I used ccleaner too and I thought it did a good job without yahoo toolbar. So what do you use besides ccleaner? I wouldn't know who to get and I need something easy to use for inexperience user like me. hugs, Rose
April 24, 200619 yr CCleaner is still a good program - and you can get "slim" and "basic" versions of 1.28, they were just a little late to be released. Though this toolbar business sucks, it's still the best cleaner for routine use. I also use EasyCleaner, not as convenient or as safe (don't use it's "Duplicates" scan!), but it finds some stuff CCleaner misses: http://personal.inet.fi/business/toniarts/...ne.htm#download
April 24, 200619 yr Basic Download - no toolbar Slim Download - no toolbar - english only beside CCleaner, i tried some other similar programs too... EasyCleaner Home Page HDCleaner Home Page but one thing that shouldnt be used is the duplicate cleaner... but i personally felt that CCleaner is more flexible...
April 25, 200619 yr I must have "basic ccleaner" then....well it's ok I will keep this since I am used to it now. Thank you for infor Mr T and greenknight hugs, Rose
April 25, 200619 yr I use HDCleaner too, but I wouldn't recommend it to an inexperienced user. It finds about everything - including some stuff that's not safe to delete. It's much more manual, too, not easy to use at all. I was able to root out some deeply buried junk with it, but I don't use it often. And, you're welcome. :P
