Avast acquires Piriform (CCleaner)

[FrFc1908]

I think I remember reading a couple years ago Avast/AVG owned or were connected in some way to a huge data mining firm. I forgot the name of it, maybe someone else remembers? I know Avira's love affair with Mixpanel turned me off immediately.

Bleachbit, Glary, Kerish Doctor, all sufficient if not better than Ccleaner IMO.

wasn't the aquirement of hidemy**s VPN?

Whats does Avast gain from this i feel like nothing they should have invested that money into fix their zero day protection.

CCleaner was sold, because their business model was not working, it was not profitable, so Avast is obviously going to change that, in some way.

I consider CCleaner as the best browser cleaner, I am sure gonna miss it, it is irreplaceable at that moment.

Change challenges us all, both in thought and, indeed, realization.

I had not wanted to change our previous DISH Satellite TV provider, but paying the same amount while simultaneously getting reduced service
urged us to try something different which might not be the same, once again.
Actually, AT&T (here in the States) recently acquired DirectTV which bothered me at first. Installation, indoors & along the wall of our living room, further alarmed me as well, but after the necessary "CCleaning" along the walls and the moving of furniture, our home now feels more comfortable! Our cats (unhappy at the beginning) are now happily sleeping amongst this new showroom feel which also provides added hiding places!
..and surprisingly, the merger of AT&T (an ISP provider we've already been using) with DirectTV challenged us to discover how after replacing older equipment with newer, we are now receiving a clearer (more consistantly in HD) picture which makes "Game of Thrones" truly breathtaking!
Our Technician shared most customers don't like the new remote controls, preferring the old, but I've learned that it's radio controlled, and since it doesn't need to be pointed at the DVR I really do like it!!

We can hope improvements shall also be realized through positive development (as needed) with CCleaner in this way too.

Yes, sometimes changes can (and will) be scary, but positive change with fresh new viewpoints can also come about with unforeseen improvements tethered to the challenges of discomfort which even cats can eventually sleep well with!
That is what I'll hope for here as well.

Yeah...CHANGE. We can only hope for the best as CCleaner has been a favorite (for years now). Some improved through change, some decline and have been lost forever (like Online Armor and Agnitum Outpost products to name two). We all have to live with it

Hi guys,

It's Vlk from Avast and the Avast forums... I just came here to say that there is really no need to worry. We love CCleaner and the community aspect of it, and we're definitely not planning to make any changes that could jeopardize it.

Let's stay in touch.

BTW Avast also runs a pretty active community forum at https://forum.avast.com, if you haven't been there yet I recommend checking it out.


Thanks,
Vlk
