These notices won't have been delivered to anyone who has blocked the systems CCleaner depends on to communicate with its users. We understand that some users would prefer not to have something running in the background, whatever its purpose, so over the past weeks we have been sending notices regarding this change to give our customers a heads up. It's very effective at securing users, but not the best in terms of explaining what's going on. It's for use when no other method will effectively keep our users' safe. It is effective but it doesn't have any interface which can get confusing, so we prefer to only use it in emergencies.
#Ccleaner pro key 5.74 update
The update checks occur once every 12 hours, or immediately if you launch CCleaner.ĬCUpdate.exe is an emergency updater. To check for updates automatically, something needs to run in the background. I'd just like to add to what Dave has said above, to explain how this works. Spoiler alert, however, is even if you are a paying subscriber, the entirety of the information held about you is little more than what you can retrieve yourself from. You can also request that this data be deleted. If you still have concerns, you can contact CCleaner support at with a request for a copy of your data as per.

We are nowhere near as interested in you as you might think. If you have concerns about "monitoring" or "spyware" you should probably take a few minutes to read.
#Ccleaner pro key 5.74 software
If you love manually updating software every month then that option remains available to you. If you are not running CCleaner continuously in the background then yes - it will not update until you run it. The change is that as and when you run CCleaner, if there is a new version, instead of it popping up and requiring you to go on a journey to the website to download the new version to keep your cleaning up to date you have the option for the updates to happen automatically. Automatic update requires all time running CCleaner64.exe.
