    CCleaner running extremely slow

    Whenever I used to run CrapCleaner, it would analyze and clean in about 7-15 seconds. Now, for some reason, it takes upwards of 2 minutes. This started happening all of a sudden.

    Does anyone have any idea what's up with it?

    Thanks.

    Hi.

    McAfee System Guard, slows my other system scanning utils to a crawl

    I turn if off before i do a scan, maybe it`s something similar

    regards

    John.

    it happened to me too, and i don't know why, i haven't used since. and i have nod32, it has nothing to do with other software. you should use tune-up utilities if an update of CCleaner doesn't fix the problem.
