Another CCleaner fake, this one via google

vendredi 26 septembre 2014

Today the top 2 google selections for "Piriform" sent me to incorrect installers for CCleaner.

The short story is that the exe files you get are a wrong version of CCleaner.

One of the sites, Soft8, installs version 3.23 and tries to install unwanted junk.

For both sites, every time you run their version of CCleaner, it pops up a box asking you to register.

I don't know, is that maybe because it is the pro version as a trial?



The good news is that simply uninstalling the incorrect program and reinstalling the correct one from Filehippo or Piriform eliminates the popup.



The bad news is that new users might not know how CCleaner is supposed to behave, and think the popup is normal.
