![]() Don’t know if I had Windows Firewall configured incorrectly or it was something more ‘sinister’ going on where Windows Firewall ignores certain firewall rules, I’ll just leave it at that but I’m sure everyone knows what I’m hinting at). (Before I found out about OneClickFirewall I tried blocking CCleaner’s Internet access with Windows Firewall but it didn’t seem to work for some reason? This was during last year’s “premiere” of the Black Friday ads. No flyout/popup ads or other shenanigans. This detects malicious scripts and prevents them from being run. Script shield - only in avast Pro antivirus and avast Internet Security. It also blocks access to known malicious websites based on the avast database of infected URLs. This, of course, stops CCleaner accessing the Internet. Network shield - monitors all network activity and blocks any threats that are detected on the network. I then go to Program Files > CCleaner and delete the CCleanerUpdate executable and use a little program called OneClickFirewall to disable Internet access for the CCleaner and CCleaner64 executables (with OneClickFirewall you just right click on the executables and select “Block Internet Access”). these days) is install/update it with the computer disconnected from the Internet.Īfter the install or update, I disable and delete the 2 scheduled tasks CCleaner creates. Just like a lot of companies these days.Īnyway, what I do with CCleaner (like I do with Windows and a lot of programs and drivers, etc. Goes to prove they really don’t care about annoying people. I would have thought that after all the flak they copped about this last year they wouldn’t have tried it again. Have CCleaner/Avast been at it again with the Black Friday ‘flyout’ ads this year? ![]()
