So what was causing this change? Well I was using an older version of CCleaner, for good reasons, and despite the fact it was still showing as that yesterday when I booted it this morning what do I find? I'll tell you what: it had been updated, against my express wishes in the settings to the latest version: 5.46.whatever. A user on the official Piriform forum reported on Septemthat CCleaner had updated itself automatically ignoring the user's configuration which was set to not check for or install updates. Integration made it near impossible for users to disable the collecting and Piriform/Avast had to retract the version eventually because the issue boiled over.ĬCleaner 5.46 was released at the end of August 2018 but things have not calmed down a lot since the release.

It culminated in the release of CCleaner 5.45 in August that collected more Telemetry. Avast Free Antivirus in the past, recent updates introduced advertising popups and privacy options that free users could not really configure. While there has been some bundling with third-party offers, e.g. The popular Windows program to delete temporary files and data to free up disk space went through a series of program updates that many users of the software opposed.

2018 has been a troublesome year for users of the computer program CCleaner.
