CCleaner 5.45 has been pulled from distribution after a firestorm of criticism last week when users reported that the new version was collecting usage data and sending it back to Piriform.
Martin Brinkmann has a
detailed report on the new "features" on ghacks and bluntly advises against installing this version.
This is the second major security SNAFU since Piriform was acquired by Avast.
As a long time user of CCleaner, I now feel it's time to look for a replacement.
Suggestions?
