Fair.
Nice.
Unfucking believable, also the grift continues "Avast has been acquired by Gen Digital, a firm that contains Norton, Avast, LifeLock, Avira, AVG, CCLeaner, and ReputationDefender, among other security businesses."
Rip, once great software
Oh, that's why.
My roommate from a year ago was adamant CCleaner was required for his PC to keep running. In 2023. I was just shocked to see it was still even a thing.
“Let me tidy up these cookies for you….” .
Unbelievable.
CCLeaner?

BulkCrapUninstaller is pretty good tho.
Btw, the scripts on their site track you.
