Has something new come along? It’s been so long since I’ve needed to do this that I assume CCleaner has enshittified by now.
Can you elaborate on how it’s a virus? I hear this a lot but haven’t heard any substantial truth aside from referring to a privacy policy that is identical to 90% of every other website anyone else uses.
Piriform was a very trustworthy tool developer until it was surreptitiously bought by a chinese company and immediately turned into a virus for the next release. It instantly lost its trust and has been garbage since that day.
Article about it for those interested… According to this it does not still contain malware, but it has been the target of multiple attacks through the years that has in turn compromised many PC’s. The attack mentioned in this article was suspected to be a state sponsored attack by China, not sure about the others.
