Google Chrome and CCleaner

[corkyg]

This is twice now - I wanted to update my CCleaner, and downloaded the latest version. The install process contains Google Chrome as a Trojan horse with no visibled way to say "No Thanks."

CCleaner installs just fine, but Chrome piggybacks and then tries to take over my PC. I had to immediately uninstall Chrome and then run CCleaner to get rid of all the crap it imposed.

Anyone know how to get that garbage out of CCleaner install?

Yeah, I know - there are Chrome fanboys out there, but I refuse to allow any software to install itself without my express permission.

Just updated to the latest version and I didn't have any options to install chrome and it didn't install google chrome either.

So, I don't have any idea how to fix your problem.

Also where did you download it from? I used Filehippo...

I just downloaded v3.07 from both the direct Piriform link as well as the Filehippo link from the Piriform page and installed it with no problems. Chrome wasn't included as part of the download, and it isn't installed on my system at present.

Here are the links I used:

http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner
or
http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/standard

OK - I used both Piriform and Filehippo. But - with your link, the Chrome crap did not enter into the process. Also, I found a possible better solution. That is, the new portable version. That is a zip file that can be unzipped to a thumb crive and used on any system. Same version.

Thanks for the responses - looks like problem is solved. 🙂
