What are CCleaner.lnk Error Messages?


General CCleaner.lnk Runtime Errors

CCleaner.lnk file errors often occur during the startup phase of CCleaner, but can also occur while the program is running. These types LNK errors are also known as “runtime errors” because they occur while CCleaner is running. Here are some of the most common CCleaner.lnk runtime errors:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Runtime Error!

Program: C:\Users\Public\Desktop\CCleaner.lnk

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.


Most LNK errors are due to missing or corrupt files. Your CCleaner.lnk file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with CCleaner), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, CCleaner.lnk file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading CCleaner, system crash while loading or saving CCleaner.lnk, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or malware infection. Thus, it’s critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

Download CCleaner.lnk Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying CCleaner.lnk to your appropriate Windows system directory. Piriform typically does not release CCleaner LNK files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing CCleaner.lnk and all other LNK files for CCleaner. An incorrectly installed LNK file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
