Solve : update ccleaner? |
|
Answer» i have windows XP home, sp3, IE8, and mozilla firefox....which i use most of the time. when i get a notice that there is an update available for the ccleaner, i have a terrible time downloading it. the screen tells me to "click here to download", and another screen that tells me "click here to download...." then i get another. and another. all slightly different. all friendly. but i have to skate across 5-6 screens or more to actually get my update and it always feels like a happy accident. there's a place where i need to choose filehippo(?) or PIRIFORM. does that choice change the download complexity somehow? what's the secret to an easy download on mozilla. would changing browsers help? You should not be getting notifications about updates on your browser, and the problem you describe has nothing to do with Firefox. Anyway, just go to the website of ccleaner's author for the download (http://www.piriform.com/) there's a place where i need to choose filehippo(?) or piriform. does that choice change the download complexity somehow?That's not normal. You should not see filehippo anywhere during this update procedure. When you respond to the prompting to update CCleaner, you should be taken directly to piriform, the maker of CCleaner. However, CCleaner can be downloaded from numerous other download sites such as filehippo. But, getting CCleaner from a source other than piriform normally requires the user to intentionally go to that other source to get it. In the past, have you intentionally downloaded software from filehippo? What web browser is set as your default browser? Is a different browser opening when you seek an update to CCleaner? hello...i'm sure i have opted downloading the newer ccleaner from filehippo. they seemed to have equal "billing".....neither one more important than the other, so.....sometimes i've used filehippo and sometimes piriform. and i get shuffled from one screen to another. " CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD..." "CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD".... ETC. ETC. firefox is my default browser and i don't recall any browser changes during this update process. i think there was less "FUSS and feathers" if i changed to IE before attempting the download though. does that make any sense? meanwhile, since there's apparently another download available NOW, i'll go to the piriform site to take care of it. and i'm sorry this reply took so long. i had forgotten i'd asked. the new update notice reminded me.Just to make sure no updates notification would remind you, Uncheck the last box from the Options settings in Ccleaner. Also, as stated ALREADY, make sure you are not getting redirected to any sites as these could mean you are infected.

And, you should just forget filehippo. Just go to the source, piriform; there's no need to go to another source and doing so seems to be causing some confusion.

ETC.Without a very detailed, step-by-step, description of what happens, the repetitive "CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD" does not make much sense.

As long you understand how any particular browser handles downloads, then you should be able to use it. Firefox works fine for downloading. Regarding jason's suggestion to disable "AUTOMATICALLY check for updates ...", you can do that but keep in mind you'll need to manually check for updates in order to keep CCleaner from getting way behind on updates.

The option to choose to download from Filehippo or Piriform is absolutely normal and is actually on Piriform's own download page. Piriform links to Filehippo so that not all traffic will always go to their site. For future reference, the links to direct download the latest version (on both sites) are: http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/standard and http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner (click the button on the right: download latest version) Quote from: TechnoGeek on July 31, 2012, 12:31:34 PM The option to choose to download from Filehippo or Piriform is absolutely normal and is actually on Piriform's own download page.OK, I STAND corrected. I always go to the Builds page on Piriform's website and download the Slim version. So, I overlooked that option to download the Standard version from filehippo. The Slim version shows up several days or more after the Standard version. Quote from: Computer_Commando on July 31, 2012, 05:33:03 PM The Slim version shows up several days or more after the Standard version.Do you mean for update alerts? No, on the Builds page of Piriform. FileHippo never has the Slim version, Majorgeeks does. For July, the Standard version was released 5 days before the Slim version. |
