Downloading CCleaner & Defraggler without donating – Please help

Does anyone know how to download CCleaner or Defraggler without having to donate to these sites? I was hoping to download one of these while waiting for my new computer to arrive as the computer I’m currently using is quite slow, it’s quite an old computer. My new computer will be arriving on the 10th so I'm a little reluctant in donating to something I'm only going to use for a couple of days. I don't mind donating though if I can donate less than they are asking for seems it's for a couple of days if that's possible.

If there are any alternatives can you please let me know.

Thank you very much!

    Direct link to CCleaner FileHippo download:

    http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/

    If you go via the CCleaner site, you don't have to donate, just click on the Filehippo link.

  • Thanks Bongedone, zee & f1charlie! I'm sure I went through FileHippo a couple of days ago and couldn't see where to download CCleaner from there. I'll give it another go.

    Thanks again!

    You need to go here.
    :doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:
  • Thanks espresso! Just to let you I checked the URL you posted before going through it. And no I didn’t click through it, very funny though. Cheeky monkey! I did see where it says run latest version but it was all the files underneath that put me off the first time I looked.

    I've just ran CCleaner now and it's saying cleaning complete, however there are two buttons saying analyze or run cleaner, Do I ignore these or what?

    You mean the big green bit on the right which says "Download Latest Version" with a big green arrow next to it?

    Analyze shows what could be removed and run cleaner removes the files.
