Copernic Reporter Posted September 13, 2010 Reporter Share Posted September 13, 2010 CCAuto updater is a free tool to automatically update CCleaner. With this tool you never have to download and install the new versions, CCAuto updater will do it for you. You can either run it manually, on schedule, or on start up. After CCAuto Updater has updated CCleaner it will let you know with a small balloontip message or prompt. CCAuto Updater also has the option to run CCleaner scheduled without any UAC (User account control) prompts. Another advantage of using CCAuto Updater is that the "Yahoo! Toolbar" won't be installed in the updating process. More Info & Download Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+John. Subscriber¹ Posted September 13, 2010 Subscriber¹ Share Posted September 13, 2010 Good find! Getting a bit tired of twice-weekly updates sometimes, hopefully this'll sort things out a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjoswald Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Are people really lazy enough to need this? The damn program tells you when there's a new version and takes you to the site. Just download it and install over your old copy. Done. Come on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evolution Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 I find using Filehippo's Update Checker just fine since it checks most of my apps as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that software is great. I'd recommend this as it gives updates for a lot of other applications including a few drivers, it's useful stuff.

Although it does get a bit overbearing when it tells you that you should update 13 programs :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Instead of using third-party update checkers, wouldn't it be better if each application had a built-in Sparkle-like updater like most Mac apps do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buio Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Instead of using third-party update checkers, wouldn't it be better if each application had a built-in Sparkle-like updater like most Mac apps do? CCleaner does have an automatic update checker, that checks for new version when you start the program. You can turn it off if you don't like to use it. I don't understand why anyone would need a thirdparty program, it's so easy to update anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my point. :) If it had an in-app updater like most Mac apps do, you wouldn't even need to visit their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And almost all PC apps today do have a built-in updater, even if it's not a sparkle-like one. I guess if Microsoft decided to do something that could gather updates into an application it could happen, but I don't see that coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c3ntury Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 I just use the Hippo Software auto-updater. Works with more software as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwind Hawk Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Are people really lazy enough to need this? The damn program tells you when there's a new version and takes you to the site. Just download it and install over your old copy. Done. Come on. Every time I open CCleaner there's an update. It gets to be inconvenient when you basically have to download and install the program each time you want to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just download it and install over your old copy. Done. Come on. Have to agree. First thing I do is turn off any type auto update junk in any program, anyway!
