Just a heads up for those using CCleaner (I don't and wouldn't)

Re: CCleaner Portable
As the program itself is under the "privacy tool" category that's ... a concern. I've added a note to the entry.

And now with ads https://www.ghacks.net/2018/06/28/cclea ... ng-popups/ keeps getting better and better for sure
Re: CCleaner Portable
Betanews says it squarely:
So all former Piriform products should next be marked as adware, maybe?
- Avast is ruining CCleaner -- malware, bundled software, popup ads... what's next?

Better that then getting sued. What I find funny is that arne't backing down and instead just digging their grave deeper.

Re: CCleaner Portable
What does that have to do with the topic at CCleaner I posted? His first point says that we'll have control over what is being sent, all, some or none, so if it can be complete turned off then none of this backlash would have started in the first place.
Re: CCleaner Portable
I thought that would be clear: as the article pinpoints, most "anonymized" data can easily be traced back to individual users, so Piriform's claims don't hold much water to me. But if my post offends you in any way, I'll gladly move it elsewhere.
Re: CCleaner
gHacks - Dont install or upgrade to CCleaner 5.45, for me the last tolerable version of CCleaner is 4.19.4867. Those who still insist on using it after Piriform was acquired by Avast are masochists who deserve no respect (the same applies for those who use Windows 10), all Avast products are indisputably adware and spyware.

Naw, it's all good, it doesn't offend me, it just didn't make much sense to me to bring that point up to my response about how they were back-pedaling and "removing" their "spying", but you still bring up a good point that "anonymized" data is just PR speak nowadays anyway.
