It also helps in improving privacy by cleaning traces of your online activities such as web browser history, cookies, etc. It can remove several temporary and unused files from your computer system which makes your computer running faster and also helps in getting free space on your hard disk. I can tell you right now that that would annoy EVERY SINGLE CCLEANER USER ON EARTH! Even if it only lasted for 2 seconds, that would really get in the way, and would be reason enough for someone like me to downgrade to a previous version.CCleaner is a popular and free software tool to optimize system performance, improve privacy and clean temporary files. Even if it was saved as a low-quality JPEG, it is still junk, people still don't want it, and it will still probably consume around 50k, about a 10th the size of the installer that wouldn't be good.Īnd as far as the bubble goes, that is a pop-up, plain and simple. Having the adds in the Support CCleaner section would eat up space, assuming that they must be saved as an image on the hard drive. I'm afraid I must disagree with you on your other two suggestions: 1. Some people (such as myself) don't even want to have to think about junk like toolbars and such, so keeping those separated from the actual product is very important. I like the idea of making CCleaner Support a separate button! Having it done that way would help separate it even more from the other tools so that people wouldn't have to look at those add-ons unless they truly wanted them. I especially like the "TakeAway" portable cleaner version, but I'll stop here lest I'll be banned! ) Much like "IEPrivacyKeeper" has a nice option for a baloon that shows when things were cleaned (although they put their own advertizement in the options screens, where they advertize their own other shareware software. Wow wow wait - I have the COOLEST idea - have CCleaner show a "baloon" everytime it completes an auto clean - this baloon could read something like "Crap Cleaned! Why won't you consider " and it can then evaporate after a few seconds. This brings me into a better idea - why not have a dedicated screen inside CCleaner that will advertize different software everytime? It could get updated when connected (but only when user shows that panel), to show new stuff every time. What's genious in your idea is that the support from the users won't be decided at installation time (where most people will uncheck anything that smells like crap), but we can always choose one of the options there at any time. Much like Spybot has a "donate" button, only with your suggestions (which are better than donations - even poor students with no international credit cards can show their support). Maybe instead of "Add ons" it could be called "Support CCleaner" and be under "Options", or better - it's own icon. Lokoike dude, that 3rd button got me ROFL! G for doing such a great thing for us with providing CCleaner for free. Optional components that are downloaded at installation & command line parameters (for admins/silent installs) is the right way to go. I really don't think that there should be several installation packages - it'll be a mess and create a chaos. I DO understand the need to see revenue, but I DO agree that including the toolbar in the installation is not the right way.Įither, like I said elsewhere already, have the toolbar as online d/l only when checked at installation (a'la IrfanView & Google) OR: could be on the d/l page itself like Adobe Reader. Wow - those are strong words and I tend to agree, but let us not forget who is behind CCleaner - not a wealthy mega-company like Adobe that "plays" with their free product, but a single(?) freeware author that created a lovely tool and maintains it without seeing a dime. I still remember how the users react at the time. Firefox had an experience once with the German version, something with the re-direction to EBAY or something. I think some people are over-estimating the loyalty of its fans or users here. A program which is suposed to clean crap not ADD it. But guys, this is a Crap Cleaner program. Other programs might be bloatware for instance, Adobe Acrobat Reader. If everything goes well, we may even earn afew extra bucks. Since everybody is so nice about the program, hey why not put in a Yahoo Toolbar and see what happens. I guess this is just testing the waters by the authors of CrapCleaner.
