[QUOTE="509322, post: 768929"] Personally, I think the poll results are bogus. I think people are more paranoid than they would have others believe. I remember when the CCleaner "compromise" was announced. Half the people around here at MT freaked-out and immediately stopped using it. Their reaction was driven by emotions, and not grounded in any kind of reality. Probably 9/10s didn't even understand what had happened. All they saw reported was "hack" or "compromise" and that was enough to make them stop using CCleaner, despite there never being any actual active threat. There were page after page of trash posts about CCleaner. To this day there are many people who will not use CCleaner, because it is "compromised." That's just plain ridiculous. That's 100 % paranoid behavior. You know why I am trying to get away from CCleaner ? Because they used a sales pop-up a few months ago. [/QUOTE]
