[gui-talk] Fw: Warning for cCleaner users

[Gerald Levy]

Yes, you have to be very careful when updateing CCleaner to avoid 
inadvertently installing Google Chrome, which is not compatible with most 
screen readers except for NVDA.  That's why before you click on the Install 
button on the last page of the CCleaner Set-Up Wizard, you have to uncheck 
the box for installing Chrome.  If you use JAWS, you have to use the JAWS 
cursor to locate it.

>> Dear Friends,

>> Last night, I decided to check for cCleaner updates. I downloaded and
>> installed the update, and found out it came together with Google Chrome
>> browser. Although Chrome showed up when I browsed the last screen of
>> installation dialog with the JAWS cursor, but there appeared to be no
>> checkbox to opt out of installing the browser. So, when cCleaner finished
>> installing, I found Chrome on my computer. I uninstalled it through
>> "programs and features", removed the remnant folders from program files, 
>> and
>> continued my work as usual. But when I attempted to activate a link in an
>> e-mail message, the following message popped up:
>>
>> This operation has been canceled due to restrictions in effect on this
>> computer. Please contact your system administrator.
>>
>> I checked if Internet Explorer was my default browser. It wasn't, so I 
>> made
>> it default. I restarted the computer, but when I entered a link in an
>> e-mail, I still got the same error. Apparently, Chrome makes changes to 
>> the
>> registry that don't get undone by simply uninstalling Chrome, and the
>> computer gets stack in the gray zone of "no browser". The only thing that
>> helped was a system restore. Today, I decided to try updating cCleaner
>> again. I figured, I would make Internet Explorer my default browser and 
>> only
>> then uninstall Chrome, and hope this would resolve the problem I 
>> encountered
>> last night. It didn't work, I still got the error message and had to 
>> restore
>> the system. So, unless there is a way to troubleshoot or circumvent this
>> issue, I would recommend to stay away from updating cCleaner.
