CCleaner 5.50 new version from Piriform

Piriform released a new version of the CCleaner File Cleaner software. OR 5.50 version, is reported to have new options to control program updates.

The 2018 was not very pleasant for Piriform, the CCleaner software development company, and Avast's parent company.

Integration s in , without notifying users and without options to disable it, along with forced automatic updates to new versions of CCleaner, was of the largest of the company for 2018.CCleaner

The new version of CCleaner 5.50, however, comes with a new menu "Updates" in the program options. Provides users with control of application updates according to release notes.

So CCleaner seems to give control of updates to the end user. Piriform separates the updates into “important” ones that ensure “CCleaner runs with and smooth” and in simple product updates that simply recommend the .

Product updates are defined as updates that “provide the latest product enhancements and updates to cleaning ”.

Automatic updates will only be the important updates, but still the final should allow them . After automatic download and installation users will receive a notification informing them that it has been done on their system.

Simple product updates will only be manually applied to free users. Pro users will be able to apply updates automatically.

The option to view notifications for new updates is deactivated by default. So those who wish to receive information should activate the function.

Piriform seems to be making much more effort after the scandals broke out. The company added more privacy options to the program. It remains to be seen whether all that promises with the new version is working.

Of course things would go much better if Piriform not exploited the confidence that users of the app have shown them for so long.

Will you re-trust Piriform and CCleaner?
