Any views on the new monitoring thingy from cCleaner.
I've disabled it in Start Ups until I know for sure I need it.

Not mentioned in the Features. Tell us about it.

It just lets you know when you will save 0.5Gb of space by cleaning....It won't do anything other than inform you....It is just a way to get you to think about signing up for the Pro paid version....
Saving half a Gig of space is hardly worth the effort...

I see. I only install the SLIM build, which is released after all the other builds. So I haven't seen it yet....though will also disable it.

I need to slim down lol.
Just found a ton of stuff in Disk Cleanup , guess that cCleaner should have cleared.

Perhaps you didn't choose those options in CCleaner.

Yes you are right Nifty, Windows Error reporting wasn't ticked.

I disabled live monitoring and ran a clean up, after which cCleaner advised me that it was now monitoring my system.:(

Yes, I checked. It really is disabled in the monitoring screen, but nevertheless shows as enabled in the start-up options and shows as a running process in System Manager. I have now manually stopped the process and disabled it in start-up options as well. It seems that the off switch for this option does not work. Be aware, too, that it is on by default when you upgrade to 4.18.

Note that to disable all monitoring you need to clear TWO option boxes - those for system monitoring and for active monitoring. This is a nuisance, Piriform - bad decision.
