Yes, unfortunately, since that's the last version for Vanilla Vista & XP.

I preferred much older versions of Ccleaner from before Avast/AVG took over Piriform in 2017. Version 5.64 had annoying nagware. Ccleaner’s end of support was discussed in a Windows XP thread March 2020. Of course there are other similar products (there’s a list on page 1, and shelby just mentioned another one on page 74 of this rapidly-growing thread which is not about software that requires the extended kernel to work).

To me at least, CCleaner up to version 4.19 was the last good usable version to me. I hate any version newer than 4.19.

I stopped upgrading mine at v4.17.4808.

Hmmm .... might downgrade then, as I'm using v5.41.6446

EDIT:

I also have on hand CCleaner 5.41.129.6446. 

Do you guys feel I should downgrade and recomend a portable version?

Portable version? Or the installer version?

I wasn't too keen on installing it but it was legit so I did the install.

As you long as you don't install any additional bloatware the installer offers (toolbars, software, etc.), you should be fine. Anyway, you're welcome.

Couldn't find information on Wise Care's developers. Strange, why would they hide ? I shouldn't risk my PC with it then.

Has anyone tried Maxthon 6 or 7? Their site said Windows 7 or later only. I do not have a Vista machine on me at the moment.

Yes, but none of them work. The installer for both versions upon opening, give "The procedure entry point K32QueryWorkingSetEx could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll." error. Portable versions for both versions give the same error upon opening.

Dependency Walker shows this:
