A post from the Italian website HTNovo reports that Microsoft has added 11 domains of the CCleaner application to one black list at official Answers support site.
It's quite common to see forums block certain sites, e.g. sites that are malicious from nature τους ή προβληματικές για άλλους λόγους. Όμως είναι πολύ σπάνιο να μπλοκάρονται νόμιμες websites in official forums of large companies.
The Italian website reveals that the domain www.cleaner.com is one of the domains blocked by the company but it doesn't mention the other ten that Microsoft added to its blacklist. The image above shows the URL of a hidden forum (moderators forum) that lists all blocked domains. Last you will see ccleaner.com.
A quick essay on the Microsoft Answers forum confirms that the domain ccleaner.com automatically changes to **** when included in a post. It doesn't matter if protocol or www is used, the domain is automatically changed after publishing.
Why did Microsoft exclude this domain? No one can say for sure.
But let's remember the course of application:
- CCleaner: attention installs the CCleaner Browser
- CCleaner remove it immediately from your computers
- CCleanner 5.50: Turn off automatic updates
- CCleaner new scandal with the application
