Ccleaner Piriform For Mac 10.6.8
Violeta Torigian
I installed CCleaner in my MAC (Mac OS Sierra) and it worked fine. A few days later, I installed MACCleaner and it blocked CCleaner. I removed MACCleaner from my computer and reinstalled CCleaner, it still does not work. What should I do to fix the problem?
As a complement to the above, I have found that in my iMac computer(Mac OS HIGH SIERRA) I have three users, in the main user where I installed Mac Cleaner, CCleaner does NOT work but in the other users it works.
Hello, You sent me this solution before and it did not work for me. I still can't use CCleaner on the main user of my iMac but the other users that are installed on the computer the CCleaner program works without problem.
iMac-de-Imac com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (com.piriform.ccleaner.2304[505]): Service exited with abnormal code: 1
iMac-de-Imac com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (com.apple.mdworker.shared.04000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000[502]): Service exited due to signal: Killed: 9 sent by mds[66]
2.) I also noticed that now CCleaner dose not shut down/close when you exit out of the application, it still shows the application to run, and there is no way to stop the latest version from constantly monitoring/running unless you forcibly terminate the application.
This also is a change in the functionality of CCLeaner, and Users have not be notified when installing the latest version, that Piriform will be constantly monitoring your systems, and collecting data.
Both of these aspects, are a change in the CCleaner v. 5.45.6611, compared to the previous versions, which one could stop either of these processes from running, and not allow Piriform to collect data from your computer constantly.
Piriform is violating users trust, by allow the application to continually run, even after it has be closed, and to forcibly collect users information, by removing the option in the latest version to Turn on/ off of the Privacy setting. Forcing people to give up their privacy, in the latest version, is not good policy, AND should be announced when a user first installs CCleaner.
It is usually correct that if the data cannot identify you personally then it is not an individual data protection concern and so is not covered by data protection law. (Although it may be covered by other laws).
Of course that all depends on just what is being collected and if it could identify you, or your personal device, in any way.
Piriform say that the only personal data held is in connection with payments made for the 'Professional' versions.
This is subject to GDPR in Europe and you can make a request to see just what they hold about you by means of a Subject Access Request.
In the rest of the world you should have your own Data Protectction laws to cover this.
2) This constant monitoring crap is probably going to be the last straw for many previously loyal users.
AV's (Avast) get away with it by saying that they have to monitor constantly to keep you safe from viruses, but a file cleaner does not need to be constantly monitoring.
This includes "Digital Personal Data" and means anything that could identify an individual - not just a 'named' individual.
If any organisation collects your device identifiers (MAC/EMEI/even a dynamic IP address), location, etc. then that identifies you as an individual and is subject to GDPR.
-data/
Especially if it is then linked to your viewing or shopping habits which can easily be extracted from analyising cookies etc. on your device, and then used to send targeted ads to that individual device.
It does not matter if what is being offered is paid for or free, or even if you are just being 'monitored':
The GDPR will also apply to the processing of personal data of data subjects in the EU by a controller or processor not established in the EU, where the activities relate to: offering goods or services to EU citizens (irrespective of whether payment is required) and the monitoring of behaviour that takes place within the EU.
But the sales and marketing guys won't/don't like it and will resist.
It's what they have been relying on to make money for a number of years now.
It's partly because of the (dodgy) way that they (some of them) have been doing this that GDPR has been enacted in the first place.
PS. Again as I've said before; using an older build will not stop data collection, - all software companies have been doing it for years, but didn't have to clearly tell you about it until GDPR came into force, before that they could just hide it in layers of small print.
Well, suppose we can be glad this program is designed in a way in which we can add our own filter cleaning rules and not get force updated.. but still, never a good sign when yet another company starts to fall over because they get so big.
After discovering these issues/ concerns I have removed CCleaner off all my systems and revered back to an earlier version, Its not to say they weren't data harvesting, without our knowledge on those versions.
Its sad, and one would think that this day and age that Periform, would have at least put up a notice, when installing the latest version, to give people the option to say yes or no, to the data harvesting. But no, they just thought they could sneak this one by everyone.
Tinfoil hat aside, for now I'm sticking with version 5.40 portable, of which I can mostly see what it sends. And I hope both Piriform and Avast will open up more about their relationship together and what exactly it is they want, or are forced into as they did in some of the most recent topics.
It's endlessly extensible if someone knows how to write their own winapp2.ini cleaners for it even if using an older version, however allot of people aren't going to know how to create their own cleaners.
Using and old version it's important to disable it's ability to nuke the system like Win10 for example by making exclusions for Font Cache and Windows.old so that it can't clean those areas even by accident.
I will not be renewing my paid subscription if this is left as it is.
I want the application to close when I close it - completely. And I want it to not collect any data unless I accept that.
Resorting to Task Manager to properly close an application is unacceptable. There isn't even an "EXIT" option one the Tray icon.
I have asked this before, but does anyone know if "heartbeat" calls home when using a portable version of CCleaner? And, what if CCleaner (portable) is run while being totally disconnected from the Internet during the run of CCleaner?
I am now a bit concerned that it is not possible to prevent CCleaner from always running and monitoring systems upon which it is installed. Also (in the free version) there is no user control or consent over what data this permanent monitoring collects and sends home.
The new CCleaner heartbeat reports only non-personal, absolutely non-identifiable usage information for the purpose of improving CCleaner. This could be, the percentage of users who have experienced a crash, or are using scheduled cleaning.
First and foremost, being able to detect usage patterns across our entire user base allows us to act more quickly when things go wrong. Gathering information via this forum, support tickets or social media is helpful but with such a huge quantity of users, is not a small undertaking. The new 'heartbeat' delivers quantifiable, representative data, quickly, so when things go wrong, we can rectify the situation sooner. In the long term, having some insight into how our users use CCleaner allows us to improve it.
The heartbeat has been added to an existing CCleaner process called 'CC Monitor'. That process is controlled via the Enable Active Monitoring checkbox. This option covers both checking for updates and the new heartbeat. It has two other optional features: 'System Monitoring' and 'Browser Monitoring'. System Monitoring triggers an alert when you have a lot of junk to clean. Browser Monitoring is a paid feature that gives you intelligent cleaning options when you close your browsers.
Please bear with us while our product and development teams work on this. We will update you as soon as we can. In the meantime, to disable all monitoring, please close all CCleaner processes via the Task Manager.
