CCleaner remove it directly from your computers

If you use CCleaner, beware! THE δεν είναι πια αυτή που γνωρίζατε. Τελευταίες αναφορές στο internet κατηγορούν την εταιρεία Piriform (θυγατρική της Avast), για την προσθήκη "κακόβουλου λογισμικού", διαφημίσεων και άλλων.

The CCleaner application is available in both free and premium versions on all Windows, Mac and mobile platforms.CCleaner

For those who don't know, CCleaner is a utility used to clean junk files (temp που αποθηκεύονται από το διαδίκτυο) και τις μη έγκυρες καταχωρήσεις στο μητρώο των Windows.

But with the release of the latter ς 5.45 το CCleaner, αναφέρει στο changelog ότι έχει προσθέσει ένα χαρακτηριστικό που θα αποστέλλει στην Piriform "λεπτομερέστερες αναφορές για επιδιορθώσεις σφαλμάτων και την βελτίωση του προϊόντος."

Obviously, those who read the changelog are not at all satisfied with the change that allows data collection,

In May, CCleaner said it would only collect anonymous data from users who have installed the free version, giving users the ability to disable the feature.

However, the latest update (v5.45) of the free version of the application, operation is impossible to stop running. CCleaner's AMH (from Active Monitoring and heartbeat) and privacy settings have been removed from the free version of the program.

The most alarming thing is that through Active Monitoring, the company added spyware to the app to anonymously check usage details to alert users when unwanted files are detected!

Σύμφωνα με την εταιρεία ανάπτυξης της εφαρμογής, το heartbeat στέλνει "απολύτως μη προσωπικές, και μη αναγνωρίσιμες πληροφορίες χρήσης για τη βελτίωση του CCleaner".

The paradox; Μπορείτε ακόμα από τις Επιλογές> Παρακολούθηση να απενεργοποιήσετε την επιλογή "Ενεργοποίηση ς συστήματος" και "Ενεργοποίηση ενεργής παρακολούθησης." Όμως μετά από μια επανεκκίνηση του προγράμματος ή μετά από επανεκκίνηση του συστήματός σας, οι λειτουργίες ενεργοποιούνται ξανά.

Also, if you click the x icon to quit CCleaner, the software does not close. The application continues to run in the background for most users and regularly sends its reports to Piriform.

  1. It's been a long time since another malware occurred after hacking (as reported by the company) in the same program.
    Given the current "problem", is it time to think that nothing (in the past problematic operation due to a virus, but also in today) is accidental?
    Simply put, did they want the company to do it, and they did it, invoking the first time hacking?

    Note: I personally do not believe in coincidences and "errors" especially in programs that "hit" and look at the root of a software registry (windows and android).
