I just updated CCleaner the other day to 5.09, & Google Chrome wasn't installed. I'm wondering if you installedUnchecky, then installed an earlier version of CCleaner, like a 4.*** version, where they have the checkboxes that you can get to with the Jaws cursor, unchecked Google Chrome, installed, then updated to the latest version.
A couple of months ago I had to reformat / reinstall Windows7, & 1 of the first programs I installed was Unchecky. When I did a fresh install of CClener Unchecky stopped Google Chrome from being installed, so I just don't understand why it didn't work for you. Take care.

It then automatically unchecks any checkboxes related to installing toolbars, browsers, and similar unwanted products. I've been using this little gem for over a year & it hasn't let Google Chrome install yet, when updating CCleaner! Take care. Mike This email was sent from my, iBarstool.

I just installed the latest version of CCleaner, version 5.9 using the link on the JAWS Users programs page, and inspected each page of the installation dialog very carefully with the JAWS cursor to locate any surreptitious check boxes for also installing Google Chrome. I could not find any, so I went ahead and completed the installation of CCleaner. But to my great chagrin, Google Chrome was also installed, anyway, and set as my default browser. Just out of curiosity, I took a quick look at Chrome and found it to be just as inaccessible with JAWS 15 as it has always been. So I had to use Revo Uninstaller to remove it and then reset IE 11 as my default browser. Has anyone found a foolproof way to prevent Google Chrome from being installed along with CCleaner? Thanks.
