## About

System cleanup tool that removes junk files, clears browser data, and manages startup programs on Windows, Mac, and Android

## Activity summary

Blocked in Syria. A September 2026 community report found the download page failing, though the capture showed a browser protocol error rather than a block page, so the mechanism behind the block has not been identified.

## Progress timeline

- 2026-09-11 — Investigated (Community Updates). Community testing could not confirm CCleaner's status in Syria. The download page returned a Chrome ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR rather than a block page, which fits a block but also an ordinary network fault. Listed as unknown pending a retest. (evidence: https://api.unblocksyria.com/files/evidence/w88nv5yhcw0zaon8f62vqb4r/h8yxtsvcrq9ikdggbq03s8w8.png)
- 2026-02-16 — Contacted Company (Community Updates). A community volunteer emailed Gen Digital's press, investor relations and DMCA teams, citing the 2025 lifting of US sanctions and asking that access for Syrian users be restored across its products. No reply yet.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
