Microsoft it started delete files in CCleaner, a very popular Windows "optimization and safe cleaning" application, as a potentially unwanted application or PUA, stating that it did so for the additional software in the installer.
Piriform, the company that develops CCleaner, he says that they are discussing with Microsoft to fix the application.
"We are in the process cooperationς με τη Microsoft για να καταλάβουμε γιατί το CCleaner εντοπίζεται recently like a PUA. We assume that the issue appears to be clustered and we believe we have addressed it so that our product is no longer labeled as a PUA.”
Microsoft says CCleaner installers offer Google Chrome, Google Toolbar, Avast Free Antivirus and AVG Antivirus Free. Although users have the choice skip installing them, some could end up running software they didn't want. .
“While bundled applications are the legal ones, the combination software, ειδικά προϊόντων από άλλους παρόχους, μπορεί να οδηγήσει σε απροσδόκητη δραστηριότητα λογισμικού που μπορεί να επηρεάσει αρνητικά τις experiences of users. While CCleaner app installers provide an option to opt out, some users can easily inadvertently install these bundled apps,” Microsoft says.
