[QUOTE="SeriousHoax, post: 896751, member: 78686"] We need to understand that Microsoft is not detecting Ccleaner itself as a PUA, it's detecting the installer as so. In my opinion, as long as the bundled software installation is automatically ticked during the installation wizard, I fully support Microsoft's decision to detect every application installer as so. If Ccleaner like applications put the bundled software as an optional download that requires user's permission to be installed then I would be fine. Once I found Avast and IOBit's Advanced System Care installed on my brother's PC and he had no idea that he was using that/how those came to be installed. So, not just Microsoft, every AV should start doing it. Yeee Go Burrito go.. [/QUOTE]
