    CCleaner


    I have been using CCleaner Pro for a almost a year. Lately I have been inundated with almost daily emails asking me to renew even though it WAS on autorenew. Firstly they said when its time to renew do it for 14. So, I waited as its not due till December. Thne I got another mail telling me to renew for 19. So I contacted them and they said thats the RENEWAL price 19. So Today I got yet another mail telling me I can renew for 29. I have switched off auto renew, now for the business end:

    Can you knowledgeable gents out there recommend a PC cleaner (win 10 Home x 64 - latest) that will clean all the rubbish out, incl Registry, and drives etc, similar or better to CCleaner? Just thought, I have Kaspersky Total Security 2020, I'll have ti =o check if that does it.

    :)

    > Is it safe to install ccleaner on my pc?

    Depends...

    Piriform (the maker of CCleaner etc) was bought by Avast in July 2017 and there was this nasty incident...


    All CCleaner versions are bundling Avast AV and/or various Google products such as Google Chrome, a Google toolbar and possibly other products....

    Microsoft Community has seen quite a few of related threads.

    Recently more and more threads are popping up in the Piriform/CCleaner forum which hint at even more questionable methods...

    Here are a few recent example threads:




    IMO, CCleaner is not unproblematic and has to be treated carefully.

    I, personally, would not recommend CCleaner to inexperienced and/or not so tech-savvy persons...

    Suggestion to inform yourself before installing CCleaner (or any other product) and to always, always keep your eyes wide open during installation (watch out for any bundled softwares etc etc).

    WRT to CCleaner on Windows 10:

    According to
    this
    post Windows 10 blocks older versions: "CC v5.27 and older, (or somewhere around there) are no longer deemed safe by MS and automatically blocked when starting."

    HTH,
