Hello world! It’s me again with a question!
So, I remember back in the days of WinXP and Vista when we had the CCleaner or CCCleaner. I recently watched a YouTube video about some guy stating that it is so good and the best thing you can use today.
If I recall correctly, didn’t they get compromised like 7 times already and switched owners a couple of times?
Same guy talked about NordVPN being so cool and stuff but a friend of mine found some software of them on his server, I don’t remember what kind, probably some tracker or adware, and since the incident happened around the time everyone started to get sponsored by them, I don’t really trust VPNs.
CCleaner is trash, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21VMQyQzRJw
His rationale is that on a stock install, it removes entries, and that it might break some things. But he doesn’t show much more than stuff being removed. He doesn’t reason that windows may or may not clean them up itself, or explain which programs are crashing. It’s a 6 minute video you can probably Skip. There may be better videos with more evidence out there.
Pretty interesting video! Thank you!
