For most users, the trust is gone and the message is clear-avoid CCleaner. Once a go-to and essential piece of maintenance software for Windows users, many of its core features have been rendered useless or ineffective due to Windows changes, or have been incorporated into Windows itself (or into other, better third-party apps).ĬCleaner also suffered a rather unfortunate incident back in 2017, when a malware-injected version of the CCleaner installer was uploaded and installed by millions of users.
There are plenty of reasons why you shouldn’t download CCleaner anymore.
