FREE DOWNLOAD CCLEANER 2020 MOD

My critical forum posts from before I was a mod are visible to all, under the same username as here, as are my public posts made since. (The reg cleaner should have been long gone).Īnd it can work, someone there is still listening.īe sure that we mods there do not hold back when we don't agree with something they are doing, if you could see some of the conversations in the private staff forum there you would appreciate that. We have been pressuring to get the offer screens changed and the Reg cleaner removed for a while now. ( To paraphrase - Stood at the tent entrance pissing in). I agree AdvancedSetup, and as long time users (and forum mods) there we are trying to influence things from the semi-inside where we can. Longish post, but I hope that it may show that things here are not simply black/white, good app/bad app. Here’s What You Should Use Instead of CCleaner Why You Shouldn’t Download CCleaner for Windows anymore

I may switch over to using HWInfo64 and just add in my canned message not to use the Bios Update icon and ignore the Bios Update site.Ī couple of other sites wrote about not using or altering how you use it as well last year in 2019 and previously in 2018 as well. The HWInfo64 program is very nice but partnering with this other site does give me great pause. This is perhaps a much better tool to use than Speccy since Speccy too has offers from Avastīut HWInfo64 also supports this Bios Agent Update site which is even worse in my opinion.

On another note regarding one of their other products, Speccy which also attempts to install CCleaner and add an automated updater (normally might not be bad but typically most helpers and users use it as a one time use and thus adding an update checker simply uses more resources for little reason) Part of what Microsoft also doesn't like is the Registry Cleaning by CCleaner - I wrote an article about it 2013 over 7 years ago. If it were just a one-time thing once could overlook or ignore it at this point but it shows a pattern that the company is very much behind finding ways to monetize the program often via negative means.

Unfortunately, since Avast bought them there have been at least a few practices that have been questionable or upsetting to users. Yes, but to be fair this is not the first time. I can now download and install various CCleaner installer versions without a peep from defender.ĭisclosure - Yes I am a moderator on the CCleaner forum, not an employee but as mods we do get some inside information that others don't see. (One of the offers is for CCleaner Browser, a Chromium based browser - surely they don't see it as a possible rival to Edge Chromium?) So it appears that MS's real issue is with the installer offers and not the reg cleaner. The various (Slim, Pro, Enterprise, etc.) installers that did not contain these offers were not flagged, even though they install the same CCleaner with the same reg cleaner included. It is interesting to note though that the only CCleaner installers they were flagging were the ones that contained bundled offers. MS are supposed to have lifted the block now, but some users may still see it flagged as a PUA.Īgreed that the registry cleaner should be removed from CC, (been telling them that for years now), and ostensibly this is why Microsoft say they are/were flagging CCleaner.
