CCleaner!!!!!

Just stumbled on Tech Gumbo website that claims CCleaner was hacked big time and should be replaced with BleachBit (see here) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOwN2zTcmeE seeing I still have CCleaner installed, I'd appreciate the counsel of those I hold in high esteem especially when it comes to computing know how.

Have you followed threads related to CCleaner, or done a search in the Lounge?

2017: See thread etc.

There have been problems with CCleaner since its developer Piriform was taken over by Avast, but most have been solved by now. I still use CCleaner and it is the most dependable of the "cleaner" programs that I have tried. As with lots of contemporary software, you have to go through its options from time to time to turn off options that you don't like.

Other loungers have mentioned Glary Utilities and are satisfied with it.

I haven't used BleachBit, so I cannot say anything about it.

Quick reply; Argus, no I have not done any searching for any threads here as I just came across the said item tonight, Hans, if it's good enough for you that puts my mind at ease so will leave well alone. Comments much appreciated. ..... Dave.

Add my endorsement of CCleaner, Dave.

I've used CCleaner and lately Glary Utilities (Portable) without issues and with good results.

Recently Ccleaner was sending data to the makers and I was unable to disable it so started using the portable version.
I read somewhere it's use was not recommended so I started using the disk cleaner built into Windows pcs.

Roderunner! where do I look to locate and use the Windows disc cleaner you mentioned? Thanks

Click the Start button and type Disk Cleanup in the search box.
