![]() So, it may now be the case that if you go to install CCleaner while running Microsoft Defender, you’re no longer warned against proceeding, assuming the security app is indeed updated as CCleaner asserts. ![]() We surmise the issue appears to be around bundling, and we believe we have addressed this so that our product is now no longer flagged.” Often, these matters are down to the way the options to opt out are presented.Īt any rate, according to a statement just released by CCleaner, the firm believes that the issue has been resolved.Ī CCleaner spokesperson told us: “We are in the process of engaging with Microsoft to understand why CCleaner was recently detected as PUA. It still says I have 14 days of pro trial left and all other features seem to be functional. ![]() When I click 'update' it just tells me to buy Pro. I thought it maybe wanted me to restart so I did, then after the restart CCleaner Pro Trial will not allow me to update any more drivers. The company observes that while the CCleaner installation process does provide a way to opt out of putting these extras on your PC, as you would expect, the judgment is that “some users can easily inadvertently install these bundled applications”. CCleaner pro trial updated 2 drivers and then it just closed. Microsoft further stresses that those bundled apps are perfectly fine and not in any way malicious, of course, but it’s the way that they are offered for installation which is problematic. Additionally, it contains a fully featured registry cleaner. It also cleans traces of your online activities such as your Internet history. It removes unused files from your system allowing Windows to run faster and freeing up valuable hard disk space. Those bundled apps include Google Chrome browser, Google Toolbar, and Avast Free Antivirus plus AVG Antivirus Free (note that Piriform is now owned by Avast, which also owns AVG too). CCleaner (Crap Cleaner) is a freeware system optimization, privacy, and cleaning tool.
