![]() Is the truth simply that Piriform wants everyone to use the fat-overhead, Yahoo-toolbar, crap marketing, full version? Is it that Piriform does not truthfully want us using the slim version? What is wrong with the CCleaner website and the Slim version, Piriform? IE may have worked ONCE before, but this morning it has the EXACT SAME PROBLEM that I discribed with FF3 and Opera. I am reposting my initial problem again because I thought that it was resolved by using Internet Explorer. If any of the other guys can think of a solution I'm sure they'll post it. I appreciate the slimmer build will come down for you quicker, but that's all I can suggest at the moment. To support my IE6 opinion, my current ACID TEST results include:Īs I've mentioned in another post Martin, I think the slim build is only different because it's minus the Yahoo Toolbar option, which you can uncheck during the install. Regardless, it looks like I will have to add to my IE6 Links - along with MSWindowsUpdates. Trying IE6 came to mind when I remembered another time when I discovered or was informed that a website had been optimized for Internet Explorer, because the web pages failed to load with Firefox or Opera. Immediately after, I tried both Firefox 3.0.6 and Opera 9.63 and both failed AGAIN. However, I tried my link as well as your link, DennisD, and both worked with IE6 version. IE (in any form, in my experience) is excessively slow loading, poor security, miserably fails the ACID TESTS, etc. I hate IE6 with a passion and refuse to upgrade to IE7 or try the IE8 Beta. The problem appears to be my preferred browser choices - Firefox 3.0.6 and Opera 9.63 I say that because I am guessing that your ISP is not a dial-up service. I suppose this may be a problem for only us lame 56K dial-up folks. aspx suffix in my saved URL, so I tried your link. Thanks for your incredibly fast reply, there, DennisD.Īt first I thought it may be the. So, what do you think their reasons are? Leave a comment and or answer in the poll below.I don't doubt what you say Martin, but I've just downloaded the slim version from the following link, and it came down very quick and intact.Įdit: It appears you are, but give the link a try anyway. We will know next week if it is gone for good. It currently has no third party software, cleans much more than CCleaner and has never harmed any computers I ran it on. Due to their recent changes we have moved on to Wise Disk Cleaner and suggest you do the same. Of course we have always lauded CCleaner but mostly because it’s a conservative cleaning tool and a Bundleware free Slim version was available. The portable version is still there and it does refer to “Builds Below” on their download page so maybe they just pulled it for the 5 days? All direct file links also no longer work. We didn’t think much of it until today when it was pointed out that the Slim link no longer works. While I don’t begrudge someone making money, I am not a fan of a program that is supposed to clean your hard drive, registry and start-up while trying to add the exact same thing.Ī couple of weeks ago we received an electronic cease and desist letter from them about hosting their files. As of today, the Slim version is no longer listed on their website so you will need to dodge their attempts to bundle other software with their Standard download. Not too long ago they added third party software (Bundleware) to their programs but you could wait 5 days and get the Slim version. Only time we ever heard from the guy (I mean Piriform) was for a cease and desist. Was it a response to this article? I’ll never know. ![]() Oddly enough another first, the download for Slim re-appeared with the new version the next day. This time the Slim version was not available for download at all and that has never happened. 10+ years maybe? There’s a system: Standard and Portable get released and the Slim version remains available one version back for exactly 5 days. For those who commentedc below and didn’t understand why this was written, here’s why We have been listing CCleaner for as long as I remember. Update: Within 24 hours, they have put the new version of Slim up for download. We have seen a handful of companies get greedy or try to get themselves ready for sale over the years and it usually starts the same way – by not wanting websites to host their files, essentially giving up free publicity and often millions of downloads.
