Now there's a knowledgeable response. :)

I don't particularly care for CCleaner real time feature, and turn it off. This may be the issue. But, nonetheless, have found CCleaner to be a handy one stop cleaning utility.

I also turn off the real time monitoring and just run it when I want. I have never had an issue with it on over a dozen computers, one of which is xp likes yours.

You could try a System Restore to a point prior to installing CCleaner.

X3.

It is a good cleaner to run routinely, but not constantly.

I agree. I've run Ccleaner for years, also without issues. So, I was surprised to find a glitch now. BTW, I do turn off real time monitoring. I also have the program on my newer Toshiba laptop running W8.1 and it's OK there. I appreciate the input and if I discover anything new I'll post it here.

Now on this I disagree.. C-Cleaner. The first C is "C**P" by the way,, Windows stores a lot of junk.. Old hot fixes,, Updates Temp files.. Cookies by the ton, Most of this is just junk, it will NEVER be accessed and there is absolutely no reason to keep it lying about.

Some of it may be a security issue (Some cookies) but generally not.

CCleaner is the easiest way to sweep out the trash as it were. Works great (usually)

Why the O/P is having issues I do not know but it sounds like a bad download caused a bad install

I use CCleaner often (not as often as a few security programs but often) I did however re-configure so it only takes out the trash I want taken out..
