CCleaner's definitions are rather stagnant by nature and should last me several years on this last ad-free rendition. Avast installed by itself, prior to adding Ccleaner is a system resource abuser.Īgreed! As for the auto updating of CCleaner from now going forward.ain't gonna happen anymore. I simply do not approve of aVast or any security software that comes bundled with software with a promise to clean and speeding up my PC. Just download the CCleaner Portable, that hasn't yet been turned into an adware. After the acquisition CCleaner suffered from a hidden malware, according to Piriform caused by a hacker, that hit over 2 million computers.įortunately, there is still a simple way to use CCleaner without the Avast ads. The transition wasn't completely painful though – actually quite the opposite. However, CCleaner is amongst the most popular Windows cleanup tools and certainly more known than Avast's offering.Īdding the huge user base of CCleaner to their pool of potential Avast customers is of massive value, and turning CCleaner into self-promoting adware is thus an obvious move.
In addition to CCleaner, Avast already has a similar cleanup tool called AVG TuneUp that troubleshoots and optimizes your Windows system. One of these ways seems to be to try and push free Avast to CCleaner users. Avast bought CCleaner developer Piriform in July after which it was fairly clear that Czech security software company is going to utilize the new addition in new ways.
