1434582	2017-04-26 00:15:00	Recently, pop-up ads have been appearing on lower right hand corner of my PC screen periodically and are proving very hard to remove without accepting the "Click here to download" box. The latest is for an upgrade to a more expensive version of Ccleaner. I find this persistent push push push a proper PITA. Is there a thingy to prevent these ? Cheers	Woody (710)

1434584	2017-04-26 03:42:00	Thanks Dugi. I'll give that a go. Cheers	Woody (710)
1434585	2017-04-26 04:22:00	You sure its Actually Ccleaner and not some rouge / Malware related software ?? Never seen ccleaner pop up with any prompts for payment, only to advise when a newer version is available or if you have to much crap and have not bothered to run it.	wainuitech (129)
1434586	2017-04-26 06:37:00	Thanks Wai. Perhaps I didn't really explain properly what the pop up was. It was simply promoting an upgrade to the higher level of Ccleaner. The annoying bit was my inability to remove the window without clicking on the "download" button which then brought up all the speil about upgrading to the premium version. I have a feeling that similar pop up has happened before but for a different product.	Woody (710)
1434587	2017-04-26 09:17:00	Again Woody -- never ever seen that, and I personally deal with hundreds of installs of Ccleaner -can you get a screen shot ? The only pop up you should get is either one saying theres X number of MB/GB that can be cleaned, or a pop up saying there is a newer version and that's simply a click of yes or no, or close it.	wainuitech (129)
