Title: CCleaner bypassing UAC
Post by: Dch48 on July 28, 2012, 11:32:17 PM

Has anyone else noticed that the latest version of CCleaner does not produce a UAC prompt to allow it to run? I'm using the 64 bit version on Win 7 and it used to have to be allowed like Speccy and all other utilities. Not any more.

You are correct.
This might explain it:

Ahhh--yeah it's in the advanced settings and must get enabled by default because I never checked it off myself.
