#PIRIFORM CCLEANER SKIPPING CHROME DRIVERS#
there's a pop-up and a hint with a hyperlink you can click on during the Quick Clean when you use it, plus in order to update any drivers with the Software Updater you need to transfer data. My best guess is that the three "Ipm" settings may stands for "Internet Page Menu" perhaps? Since the SoftwareUpdater and QuickClean both have an IPM I'm guessing these must be phoning home to Piriform because these options require internet assistance to complete. The same goes for "SoftwareUpdater" it removes the tab so that you can't accidentally click on it and scan your PC! It's very cool as this removes the clutter. If you change "QuickClean" to 0 it removes the entire button from within CCleaner.
TLDR: I've changed all 5 settings to "0" and have not noticed any negative consequences, only positive results! So if by altering these in a proper manner perhaps I can remove and/or disable those too. I originally was looking to see if there was a simple way to turn off the stupid "summer sale" pop-up by changing a hidden setting from 1 to 0 but now I'm interested in figuring these out too, because Quick Clean and Software Updater are stupid and shouldn't be in the program to begin with - just more bloatware. I'm not sure what "IPM" stands for, nor exactly what these settings are responsible for.
#PIRIFORM CCLEANER SKIPPING CHROME INSTALL#
Otherwise in the install version they'll be in the registry under this key: If you use the save to Ini setting or the portable version the settings will be there. I'm curious to see if someone can help figure out what they do. I don't know in what version these first appeared (5.60 for this post) but there are new Registry and Ini settings that do not appear anywhere at all on the internet. If you find additional settings that help, please let me know! I haven't seen this info posted anywhere else before, this may be the first place.
If you're looking for info about the latest version of CCleaner because you want to continue using it, but would prefer to get rid of all the monitoring, phoning-home, and ads then read on.
