We will separate out Active Monitoring (junk cleaning alerts and browser cleaning alerts) and heartbeat (anonymous usage analytics) features in the UI and we will give you the ability to control these individually. You will have the options of enabling all, some or none of these functions, and this functionality will be uniquely controlled from the UI. We will take this opportunity to rename the Advanced Monitoring features in CCleaner to make their functions clearer. We will deliver these changes to the software in the coming weeks.
