The fact is that in the new version of CCleaner (5.45), an unrelated “Active Monitoring” program was detected. Users of the most popular utility CCleaner, designed to clean and optimize the Windows operating system family, criticized the developers of Piriform. The most curious thing is that this happened after Avast acquired the application developer company in July 2017. So no matter where ccleaner's malware stemmed from, so far as I know, neither company has put up the effort or expertise to resolve the millions of infected machines by offering either a fix or even compensation Users for the time, money and aggravation of wiping once useful and clean machines and painstakingly "clean installing" the OS platform(s), not to mention, all the programs and app's ('simply' to rid our machines of the malware), it's otherwise a sad, sad day that Users (like myself) are finding this out, and not by any (known to me) notices of the 'hacking' and/or the need to wipe and completely re-install, but by sheer luck at running across that article.CCleaner, Windows cleanup app, has faced several problems throughout 2017 that have ruined its reputation completely. ![]() once realizing their machine's unacceptable behavior apparently would likely invoke Users into purchasing Avast (as opposed to continuing to run Avast's free AV, assuming that Avast Premium was/is immune to 'ccleaner's malware). Sadly I no longer can trust ccleaner after the reported 'inside job' (which seems questionable as to if Piriform was either hacked and/or the company itself had/has someone untrustworthy working there, and/or that Avast itself may be either involved and/or possibly even responsible for the 'irreparable' machine damage that was reportedly handed to Users.Īnd since I can't exclude Avast AV from my suspicions that it seems likely as not that Avast stands/stood to profit from the infected Users, e.g. See link which supports my findings and/or my current opinion about ccleaner by Piriform (now owned by Avast). ![]()
