Meaning CCleaner continuously runs silently in the background, collecting data for Avast, regardless of whether users only open CCleaner when needed and ask not to collect information about them.
Next is the release of malicious code by CCleaner.Previously, Piriform said CCleaner was hacked and distributed malware.The 32-bit version is infected with Trojans that collect system information and run the code on the infected machine.Fortunately, the company discovered it before the attack spread widely.
Since the acquisition of Avast, CCleaner has also displayed annoying pop-ups that require users to upgrade to a paid version.Sometimes while installing CCleaner, there is also an offer to install Avast to force users to uncheck.
With all these annoyances, it's probably time for users to remove CCleaner on their Windows computer.On Windows 10, you just need to go to Settings > Apps > Apps & Features and find CCleaner then select Uninstall.
Instead, you can use the familiar Disk Cleanup tool, the Free up space now feature in the Storage Sense section in Settings > System > Storage, clear the cache or many other integrated features right in Windows 10 If it is not enough, go to the relevant software CCleaner to choose an alternative.
