[QUOTE="MacDefender, post: 896670, member: 83059"] Ummmmm is CCleaner actually harmful/greyware? This seems to be a troubling move. It’s already somewhat annoying that Windows Defender seems to go after Microsoft product piracy tools more aggressively than piracy tools in general, and now if they’re going after utilities that Microsoft thinks is sometimes problematic to support.... The “defender” part of Windows Defender might be crossing the line. I really want Windows Anti-Malware, not Windows Remove Apps Microsoft Doesn’t Like :D [/QUOTE]
