Under the title Changes in v5.45 and your feedback, the developer explained what has changed and why. This was not well taken by users, so that the developers feel to defend their decision in a Piriform forum post. The site has taken up this topic in an article. In other words, telemetry data acquisition has been expanded (the keyword is probably the heartbeat function, an anonymous analysis function). And within this version, the already existing analysis feature (Active Monitoring) were strongly extended. Now AVAST has released the CCleaner version 4.45 via Piriform.
#Ccleaner malware avast software#
And I wrote blog posts (see link list at the end of the article) in which I warned of potentially unwanted software (AVAST) in CCleaner-Installer. I remember the episode in 2017, where a CCleaner version with malware was distributed ( CCleaner has been infected with malware). But since the takeover by AVAST things seems went worse.
This is nothing bad per se, especially since Piriform continues to work (at a first glance) independent. However, it should be noted that Piriform, the developer of CCleaner, was acquired by the Tchech antivirus manufacturer AVAST in summer of 2017. In my view, CCleaner is associated with that 'smells like trouble', I've seen too many broken Windows systems after user executed this tool 'to optimize Windows'. Many Windows users love this free program – it has 'magic functions' that can even teach a lame Windows to become a 'racing horse' – is rumored at least in forums. CCleaner was developed by Piriform as a tool for Windows and offers a number of features for cleaning and optimizing the operating system.
