Install over the top.

How about including some stuff like JV16 PowerTools has about cleaning Start Up Items and Advanced Uninstall Stuff?

The download still says it version 105 instead of 106?

Is the download actually version 1.0.6.048?

Great Program, Must Have!

Keep it free :)

o another question for my friend taht is using other windows beside xp home and pro.

Is this program compatible with otther windows out there.

Yup, it's compatible with all versions of Windows from 98/NT4 onwards.

Not sure why the website hasn't updated, try a refresh, as I updated it this morning. :huh:

Glad you like it. It's fast because I focused on speed rather than flashy interfaces, splash screens etc. ;)

Hmm... have you removed the right-click -> fix all item in the registry cleaner? Right click doesn't do anything anymore :( Also, would it be possible to have a more accurate progress bar? I don't like how it keeps starting again as the program scans the registry - theres no way of knowing how long it's going to take! It's hard to explain, but I'd rather that when it gets to the right hand side it's complete.

Hmmm... strange.... no haven't removed it, I'll look into that one.

Good point about the progress bar, it worked fine when the progress took a couple of seconds, now it's scanning more stuff it tends to loop a bit. ;)

Weird - the right click menu in the registry cleaner works ok on my Win2000 machine...?

Could you also add a progress bar for when CCleaner is fixing the registry problems - if there's alot and you choose 'Fix All' there's nothing to say whats going on and some people might think that the program has frozen.

Any more progress with having CCleaner as a single executable? I'd love to be able to run it from my new USB Flash Drive. I tried copying the folder over as suggested, but I get a 'Run-time error 429, ActiveX component can't create object' error when I try to run it. Is there anything I could add to the folder to enable the program to run?

Btw, great work so far - I really like the program. It just needs a little 'fine tuning' to make it great! :)

I doubled checked the right-click issue and it worked fine on my test machines. So not quite sure what's wrong. Anyone else noticed this problem?

A single executable is still a plan, although not in the immediate future. (Unless everyone thinks it's essential ;))

You can manually install it by copying all the files in the Program files\CCleaner folder onto the new machine and registering all the OCXs.

Ok, it does work - I just didn't realise that you had to actually right-click one of the items for the menu to appear - I was just right-clicking in the empty space!

Nah, a single exe is not essential - just being able to copy the folder across would be good enough but I always get that OCX error. How exactly do I register them? Could I add something to the folder to allow the program to run directly from the USB Drive without having to do anything on the actual pc?

Sure, just setup a batch file to do:

regsvr32 filename.ocx

then uninstall with

regsvr32 /u filename.ocx

Hi, me again - sorry if it seems like all I every do is complain about this program. I love it and want to help make it better!

I've just come across a small problem with the button text being cut off when using the XP Style.

post-34-1079719357.jpg

Im using KoL's Smooth Stripes 4 VS, but it does it with some others too. Once I set CCleaner to the Standard or Flat style, the text was fine so no major problem, but possibly something for the next update?

:) No probs. Ran a few tests with that theme and had similar problems, just in different places (which is a bit odd).

But a few spacing tweaks seems to have fixed it. I'll post an update shortly.

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
