Got rid of Defraggler ages ago. Remove the lot, all traces and do it again....individually. Make SURE you have not ticked the Yahoo boxes. Mr Pounder

Tested this in a virtual machine. Went to http://www.piriform.com home page. Clicked the "Download" link. Clicked the "Download" link for CCleaner v2.29.1111. Clicked on "Alternative Download" since that one comes from their own site, not from off-site (Filehippo). Ran the downloaded file to do the installation. During the installation, I unchecked the following option: Add CCleaner Yahoo! Toolbar and use CCleaner from your browser After the installation completed, I closed and reloaded my web browser (IE8). No Yahoo toolbar showed up. No Yahoo toolbar was listed as an available toolbar to display. Yahoo Toolbar was not listed in the Add/Remove Programs applet. Found nothing in the registry for Yahoo. I didn't get stuck with the Yahoo Toolbar when I opted out of it during the installation. That CCleaner's installer *defaults* to including adware also makes CCleaner adware. Tis a pity they chose to classify themself as adware. Guess their donationware didn't get enough donations.
