We identified that even though the downloaded installation executable was signed using a valid digital signature issued to Piriform, CCleaner was not the only application that came with the download. Talos began initial analysis to determine what was causing this technology to flag CCleaner. Upon closer inspection, the executable in question was the installer for CCleaner v5.33, which was being delivered to endpoints by the legitimate CCleaner download servers. On Septemwhile conducting customer beta testing of our new exploit detection technology, Cisco Talos identified a specific executable which was triggering our advanced malware protection systems. The company is urging users to upgrade to version 5.34 or higher (which it says is available for download here). The affected versions of the software are CCleaner and CCleaner Cloud. Don't hesitate to take it for a test drive for a week or two, if you don't like it then just uninstall.The security team at Cisco Talos discovered that download servers used by CCleaners had been compromised to distribute malware inside CCleaner. And NO I wasn't paid to endorse this (or any other product) I just thought I'd put in my 2 cents for those trying to make a decision. If the free one is this good, then I don't think I can go far wrong w the higher horsepower version!
You can expect to be offered a free update about once around the end of each month.
It does a nice job of "taking out the trash!" You won't suddenly see pop-ups and notice performance slow downs, to the contrary CCleaner will help purge your machine of all that annoying and potentially dangerous garbage! It also doesn't hog a lot of space or resources, and it isn't loaded w malware. I personally like it better than some cleaning software I paid for in the past on my old Dell. It's a favorite among C-Net visitors, and it has tons of positive reviews. IMHO Piriform's CCleaner has proven to my satisfaction that it works well. I wouldn't want to be w/o my handy CCleaner! I first tried it on my old Dell w XP, and now it's been busy tidying up and protecting my replacement Dell PC since the day I fired it up 1 yr ago as of late Feb 2013. I found the controls intuitive right out of the box, and it's more user friendly and much less cluttered w features I don't need or use. I have used the free version for several years.
