CCleaner in Microsoft blacklist

A post from Italian  HTNovo reports that the added 11 CCleaner app domains to a blacklist on official Answers support site.

It's quite common to see forums block certain sites, e.g. sites that are malicious in nature or problematic for other reasons. But it is very rare that legitimate ones are blocked 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 does not 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 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, the domain is automatically changed after publication.

Why did Microsoft exclude this domain? No one can say for sure.

But let's remember the course of application:
