ratchet Posted March 20, 2009 CID Share Posted March 20, 2009 So even though I only browse with Firefox, I updated from 7 to IE8 yesterday. Now, on a Vista notebook, every time I use CCleaner I get this crazy testbox. I pocked all around security and tool settings but can't get rid of it. Doesn't occur with XP so it's some kind of IE8/Vista issue. Thank You! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shug7272 Posted March 20, 2009 CID Share Posted March 20, 2009 It looks like the run of the mill Vista box. Maybe I am missing something but if you run the operation to clean out history I think that box will always appear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starship_troopers Posted March 20, 2009 CID Share Posted March 20, 2009 to me it just looks like its taking IE8 longer to delete history so that box pops up just as if you did it manually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudmanc4 Posted March 21, 2009 CID Share Posted March 21, 2009 If your good with your machine, and keep it clean <OMG anyway, just set your browser to remove temp files on close, and keep the default storage as low as allowed. You won't have much of a problem w/ that silly windows anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iesnes Posted March 21, 2009 CID Share Posted March 21, 2009 IE sucks... the newer the version, tghe more so. Try firefox or any other browser. You'll be less prone to hacker attacks and it will perform better for you. Last thing I heard was you can't even downgraqde IE once you have upgraded. Microsoft kinda sucks cuz once they get something working ok, it's "good enough" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iesnes Posted March 21, 2009 CID Share Posted March 21, 2009 Sorry- I didn't pick up right away you are using vista... good luck to you.. maybe it's not too late to upgrade to XP SP2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shug7272 Posted March 21, 2009 CID Share Posted March 21, 2009 I agree but it never did prior to IE8. I understood that you were using XP before this problem occurred. I figured it was just due to the upgrade to Vista. Huh. I have to go with Ryan on this one. Maybe it is just taking longer to delete were as before it was quicker so the box didnt pop up. I dunno man. IE sucks... the newer the version, tghe more so. Try firefox or any other browser. You'll be less prone to hacker attacks and it will perform better for you. Last thing I heard was you can't even downgraqde IE once you have upgraded. Microsoft kinda sucks cuz once they get something working ok, it's "good enough" He normally uses FF. This just comes up when he is using a program that cleans all browsers at once basically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jb2750 Posted March 21, 2009 CID Share Posted March 21, 2009 Im running Vista Home Premium SP1 on a Dell laptop and I also went from IE7 to IE8 yesterday.I also have the same version of CCleaner that you have and that box has never come up on mine.I went to Tools/Internet Options and Under "Browsing History" and with the box checked and unchecked I ran CCleaner and did not get the message box.First I would uninstall CCleaner and try a reinstall. Revo Uninstaller is a good program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJa1NYTech Posted June 19, 2009 CID Share Posted June 19, 2009 I have one stupid question, (though I may be a little late to help on this one), About the version of CCleaner your currently using, was it already installed when you upgraded? if so try uninstalling CCleaner than reinstall it with the latest version, I find that every once in a while after an upgrade with Micro-notso-soft an already installed program will get messed up or changed a bit and run incorrectly if at all, and remember Microsoft doesn't care, they're greedy as all hell and they got your money already, Microsoft only brown-noses/cares about corporates/business' running Vista Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
