I get these annoying pop-ups all the time. I wanted to support it, but it's really feeling like another form of malware at this point. It sucks when you love a product, see it get acquired to burn through the customer list and milked. Seriously, never felt this bad about a product. Looks like CCleaner has been hi-jacked and the team is focused on profits over true value. In fact, the value is near zero as the pop-ups and development decisions have been self-centered on their desires (For a few years now) and not in the best value/interests of customers', like you and I? So there we have it. Hence pushing, pushing, pushing pop-ups and higher prices. Appears the development decision was about saving money/making way more.all the while saying it's more valuable now and charging an arm and a leg for it. Why do I say that? Because, the idea of making it simple for simple-minded people who can't decide or be bothered with complex check boxes, are given no options and the behavior is so different from the original CCleaner. Just re-skinned software (probably acquired software) shoved into CCleaner's menu. The additions like the Health tool appear to be of a different breed as well. It's obvious a conflict of interest based on why we purchase and what we are forced to deal with, regarding the pop-ups and high prices. After seeing what they have done with CCleaner - I wouldn't advise to install their browsing tool at all. I have always had the mindset to keep pop-ups off my computer and browsing experiences, too (I used other tools for that). It's about to become a straggler.Īll cleared check boxes is what I have had set since the day I have had access to these setting in CCleaner. If anyone knows how to stop the stupid insanity of this "healthy app" - please let me know. All I know is CCleaner used to be $9 and worked like a charm, now it's $29-$100 and works like mud on a pig. I don't know all the details, and really don't care. If anything - I see more development $ spent on invading my system even more. No real lose, other than I paid for pro for a couple years, hoping for the best.įor the best meaning - I thought by paying such a HIGH price - they would make enough to reduce the invasive BS on my computer from their "Cleaner". It won't be happening for much longer as I will delete this software and never look back again if I can't find a good answer to my question here within 3 days. It sucks when I am using my computer, and these distractions overlay my work and pull my focus. We see here in settings - we do not have the option to stop 1st party ads, simply those from 3rd parties. BTW(there is ABOSOLUTY, no way I would pay for software that is pulling the old McAfee(Slimmy) sales style pop-ups, nagging screens we see in CCleaner. In a small effort I am trying to stop the SPAM from CCleaner itself. If they do, then they will back off the aggressive sales tactics which I find flies in the face of what CCleaner was vs what it has become. I am sure the Parent company who purchased CCleaner knew this, and doesn't give 2 cents of care about us, the original customer base. The slimy Cash Back scheme is VERY old co-opting scheme used by some of the worst marketers and tools I ever used. That's something I am finding different these days, compared to the years of good cleaning I have enjoyed. I am aware that another company owns CCleaner and they are pushing the envelop on the sales reach and taking away the pure spirit CCleaner once had regarding no ads, no BS. I have been using Ccleaner for many, many, many years.but this may be my last.
