Η Piriform, εταιρεία ανάπτυξης του CCleaner μετά τις γενικευμένες αντιδράσεις, πήρε πίσω την τελευταία έκδοση της εφαρμογής. Με την έκδοση 5.45 ήταν λειτουργικά αδύνατο να αποφευχθεί η συλλογή data.
Such as we mentioned yesterday, version 5.45 of CCleaner sent anonymous system information to Piriform, and users of the application could not disable this feature, as even after disabling the application continued to send data.
Of course, the behavior provoked reactions last week and so Piriform, (a subsidiary of Avast) took back the latest version of CCleaner at the weekend.
The forum of the application states:
We are currently working to separate cleanup functions from analytics aggregation and offer more control options to CCleaner users to remember after a reboot. We also create a newsletter, which will describe the data we collect, for what purposes and how it is processed.
Today atslowσαμε την έκδοση v5.45 και επαναφέραμε την έκδοση v5.44 σαν κύριο download του CCleaner ενώ εργαζόμαστε σε μια new edition with several key improvements.
It is a step for sure, the program remembers the user settings after closing the application!
Needless to say, the next version of CCleaner should remove totally these dark patterns and make it clear to users why it collects and what it does with their data.
Of course we still do not recommend using CCleaner regardless of the company promises.
