No ccleaner website & all the other links appear to be dead.

Nope.
Might be something to do with Avast buying them out.
Noticed this on their website

Apart from AV & firewalls (which I disabled both at one stage, where could a single complete website be blocked on Win7 mrfxit - 2021-03-09 13:48:00 |

DNS server issue? i've seen some very localised DNS issues Edited by king1 at 2:18 pm, Tue 9 Mar king1 - 2021-03-09 14:15:00 |
| 13 | Got it.
All this chatter got me snooping for more clues.
Must have at some stage been testing a downloaded pro version & it edited the hosts file to block ccleaner.com mrfxit - 2021-03-09 14:21:00 |

Sneaky blighter.
Checked all sorts of recent things installed but never remembered about that test install & hadn't updated Ccleaner since then mrfxit - 2021-03-09 14:33:00 |
| 16 | LMAO, twits at cleaner.com.
Sent them an email about my access issues & the only reply was about not being able to find my account details, Ie: payed version account. Nada about possible solutions to the issue, just 'sorry can't find your account details' Oh & yes, they got a bit of a grumpy (but polite) email back mrfxit - 2021-03-10 10:48:00 |
| 17 | Why would ccleaner block itself in your hosts file? Sounds very much like a paid version was installed that wasn't in fact paid for.
I.E. the common practice in pirated software to stop the program calling home and so getting itself remotely disabled etc. Edited by ronaldo8 at 5:35 pm, Wed 10 Mar ronaldo8 - 2021-03-10 17:35:00 |

I get a lot of software through here in various forms.
Sometimes I have a play with it if it looks better then what I already have or simply interesting mrfxit - 2021-03-10 20:17:00 |
| 19 | Blooming heck, Avast seems to have screwed the pooch this time with Ccleaner and HECK they are dumb.
As I said above, their first reply was saying they couldn't find my reg details, (Reg was never mentioned/ neither was if it was free or paid version)
Next reply was wishing me well & all that for solving the problem.
Oh dear..... they sent a customer response form so I filled it out according to the fact that the op had totally missed the problem as presented & I got a reply back tonight .. .. . .. ... .with links etc to the paid versions & how to reg it.

I thought I might have missed one of those prefilled in checkboxes but there are a lot of stories on the Net that they were doing it without asking. That was enough for me. wembley1 - 2021-03-16 15:43:00 |
