[QUOTE="TairikuOkami, post: 897059, member: 61892"] Ever since CCleaner has introduced realtime monitoring, it was obvious, it will be its downfall. CCleaner is mainly a browser cleanup tool and it also provides some basic Windows cleanup. It has not really improved in several years, there is only so much you can clean (without winappi2) and that is the end of it. It pretends to be an optimization software like Iobit or Auslogics, but it is not, it is scareware. So it definitively fits the bill of PUA thanks to the fake advertising.
