Cant Access CCleaner site

alanbjames · 03-12-2021, 20:48

For some reason i cant access the CCleaner website it just says cant connect and check network.

My friends can get on it and i can get on all other security websites which to me ruled out a virus but i scanned with Bit Defender and it found nothing.

I dont have CCleaner installed but wanted to download for a friend but i just cant access the site.

I have tried with a VPN to and still no joy, anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.

Ironically you could run ccleaner to clean up and then try hahaha

Have you cleaned up your system? tried a different browser? rebooted? run AV and Malware scans
?

Tried a different browser, restarted and as ive stated yes i ran bit defender which came back clean.

Yeah i never just use one scan if I think there might be something dodgy. I use one of the online scans from the like of Eset as well as malwarebytes after running rkill to ensure nothing its being held

How long as it been like this? if nothing shows maybe just give it a day and see if it is a glitch somewhere

I have no idea how long its been like it but its just this one website.

If it was a virus surely it would block access to many security sites but ive tried Bit Defender, Norton, ESET, and Spybot and i can access them all.

Just posted what I would do. I do not have a magic answer

What are you trying to access the website for? Is it to download CCleaner or something else, if so what?
Are you using the free or paid edition?
If free edition is it because you are trying to use the driver update function?
As always, more info needed.

Ooops missed that. Just downloaded it my self from https://www.ccleaner.com/ccleaner/download perhaps it's not a direct download he's using as filehippo doesn't connect for the download.

Why can't the friend download it themself?

I use ninite . com to download this type of software. Great tool.

Sorry I've not posted over the past few days I've not been on I've been really busy preparing for Christmas.

I still cant access the site, its ONLY that site i cant access its as if my DNS is blocking it but I've just changed to CloudDNS and still the same.
