So I used the feedback function in the program to complain about this, in less than 24 hours, I received response that did not appear like it was an automated response since the English had grammar mistakes and they said they will add an option to disable auto-backup. and even worse – you couldn’t turn it off. That meant you had to wait additionally for a backup to be created, and even worse – it filled your C:\ drive with 20-30 GB of backups. Then Avast! bought C-Cleaner and it got even worse with ads and components running in the background that you can’t turn off and they transmit your data who knows where…īut now I use Wise Disk Cleaner, Wise Registry Cleaner and Wise Program Uninstaller, have been using them for a few years and they are really good.Ī few years back Wise Program Cleaner had a problem where they had a new functionality – to auto backup data before uninstalling. The installer may also offer Google Chrome or Google Toolbar but there are probably more offers such as CCleaner Browser (it used to be offered some time ago at the very least).Ĭrap Cleaner (as the original name was, before it became popular and they changed it to C-Cleaner) hasn’t been good for years.Īt one point System Ninja started providing a component that would expand the junk-detection capabilities of C-Cleaner and that made me ask the question why use C-Cleaner and need to “upgrade” it for extra functionality when I can use System Ninja instead? Microsoft lists four products on its site of which two are owned by Avast: Avast Free Antivirus and AVG Antivirus Free.
Some of CCleaner's installers bundle third-party software. Often, these offers are checked for installation by default, or the installer is designed in a way that may confuse the user in installing the offered products. A common form of these kind of applications bundles other, often third-party software, with the installer this is done by the company for financial reasons or to push some of its other products. Potentially unwanted software is not outright malicious, but as the name suggests, may be unwanted by the user.
It comes with several other features including options to update installed programs, run a health check, or clean the Registry. Microsoft Defender Antivirus flags certain CCleaner installers as potentially unwanted software according to a new database entry on the company's malware encyclopedia site.ĬCleaner is a popular tool for Windows to remove temporary files to free up disk space.
