CCleaner: Caution installs the CCleaner Browser

CCleaner is one of the most popular cleaning applications of Windows. But lately, specifically since Piriform has been developing it, it has started to create many problems for those who use it.

This time the installer adds the application to your computer CCleaner Browser if you don't pay attention during the of the installation.

CCleaner offers third party offers. Technically, not all offers from a third party, as Avast Browser, or Avast antivirus is owned by Avast, its parent Piriform which is developing the CCleaner application.

Users of the CCleaner application that are upgrading the software or trying to reinstall it using the full installer will surely notice these offers.

Crapware is available by default and if users do not pay attention to the installation application, they can install third-party programs on their devices.

The installation offer for the CC browser appears to have been integrated into the 5.59 version of the application. Piriform has released the 5.60 version recently.

One user he remarked that after the installation of CCleaner there was also the CCleaner Browser on his device and that the program had undertaken to automatically open any HTML file.

Το πρόγραμμα εγκατάστασης CCleaner της νέας εφαρμογής 5.60 περιελάμβανε μια προσφορά για την εγκατάσταση του Avast Free Antivirus σε μια δοκιμή, ενώ σε μια άλλη απόπειρα εγκατάστασης, δεν εμφάνισε κάποια "προσφορά."

It is likely that Piriform has withdrawn the offer in the meantime or that it is occasionally available to some users.

The installer app defaults to its CC Browser with options: the first installs the browser, and the second makes it the default browser. The second option also affects file associations on the system.

If you installed the CC Browser app you can remove it like any other app. In Windows 10, two Windows keys-I to open the Settings application and select Applications to display the list of installed programs.

CCleaner Browser should be on this list and you can choose to uninstall it from your system. You may also need to change the file associations if they changed when installing CCleaner.
