Microsoft it started to delete his files CCleaner, μια πολύ δημοφιλή εφαρμογή “βελτιστοποίησης και ασφαλούς καθαρισμού” των Windows, σαν δυνητικά ανεπιθύμητη εφαρμογή ή PUA, αναφέροντας ότι το έκανε για το επιπλέον λογισμικό που υπάρχει στο πρόγραμμα installations.
Piriform, the company that develops CCleaner, he says that they are discussing with Microsoft to fix the application.
"We are in the process cooperations with Microsoft to understand why CCleaner is recently detected as 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, for its part, states that CCleaner installers offer the Google Chrome, the Google Toolbar, the Avast Free Antivirus and AVG Antivirus Free. Although users have the option to skip their installation, some could end up running software they did not want. .
"While grouped applications are legal, combining software, especially products from other providers, can lead to unexpected software activity that can adversely affect user experiences. "While CCleaner installers provide an option to opt out, some users may easily inadvertently install these grouped applications," says Microsoft.
