Why You Should Stop Using CCleaner on Windows Right Now

 

Quote

CCleaner, once a tidy app with no history of issues, has had two major problems in less than a year. This is unfortunately not surprising after Avast purchased CCleaner developer Piriform in July 2017.

great article, i agree 100% except that I think using the last version of ccleaner before Avast purchased them would be OK (v5.32.6129). This is what I am doing, at least for now.

 

Also what do you guys think about Privazer?

I'm still using 5.44.6577
Not sure if that release is under Avast ownership or not but it doesn't nag me about upgrading and doesn't auto-restart the background monitor so I'm okay with it.

It is.

I just thought it safer to go back to a non-Avast release.

On a side note I have uninstalled Defraggler completely. It is now also owned and maintained by Avast.

New version 5.46 has just come out. The developers assure they've put things right and are determined to win back the users' confidence.

nothing against you @Katzenfreund but a trust lost is a trust not worthy of rekindling. I have moved on and will never use Piniform/Avast softs again.

I don't see the problem in the software even let them monitor, then what they will sue users for using their free software? are they the only ones, If u own a mobile device today being apple or android u r being watched 24 hours and everything is been recorded without you knowing

Dear friend @mjall

 

Everything you say is real and more than it sounds, because even if you disable the location of the mobile device or turn it off, if the chip is in the device even with it turned off it can be located.


That's what a friend of mine from the federal police said.

 

That monitoring system that appears in the series Persons Of Interest, is just a flea, close to the system that the NSA uses to intercept and monitor everyone.

 

Just by poking the phone's chip, it stops sending location data because it is energized for more than 24 hours ...
