CCleaner 5.50 new version from Piriform

Piriform has released a new of the CCleaner file cleaning software. THE 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.

Incorporating telemetry into the app, 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 suggest the upgrade.

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

Οι αυτόματες ενημερώσεις θα είναι μόνο οι σημαντικές ενημερώσεις, αλλά και πάλι θα πρέπει να τις επιτρέψει ο τελικός χρήστης. Μετά την αυτόματη λήψη και εγκατάσταση οι χρήστες θα λαμβάνουν μια which will inform them about it being 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 show notifications for new updates is disabled by default. So those who wish to receive information should activate it .

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?
