    How do I find my old thread about CCleaner? Windows 10


    It's that time of the year when cleverbridge / Piriform Software Ltd pester me with email reminders to renew my subscription to CCleaner Professional.


    They say "Your CCleaner Professional subscription is coming to an end in 29 days.

    To ensure your premium features continue without interruption, your account will be billed 15 days in advance of your current subscription expiry.

    Your CCleaner Professional will be automatically renewed at £19.95".


    These would be most helpful reminders if I had a paid-for subscription but I don't. I have the free version.


    Piriform the maker of CCleaner was bought by Avast in July 2017; there were a few problem incidents reported as a result and I think it was Julia @Ṣmeed who posted an alert that the new CCleaner wasn't something for 'amateur' users such as me.


    I will be making a formal complaint to Guy Saner, Piriform's CEO, about these lies. If I don't get satisfaction from him/his team, I will complain to the Advertising Standards Agency and similar UK bodies. Piriform shouldn't be allowed to get away with this tactic.


    Back to my immediate problem. How do I find the thread that I created in 2017 about Piriform/Avast renewal lies, please?

    :)

  2. CCleaner

    > 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,

    Julia
