Wise Cleaner reliability

[Nikos751]

A long time ago, I was searching for a good cleaner for Windows, and saw that many members here used WiseDisk Cleaner. I have been using it for a long time since then and as far as it's usage is concerned, it seems ok.
One day, some months ago, I downloaded an updated version from the official site, and Windows Defender identified it as a malicious (don't remember exactly what the detection was). I believed it was a false positive, but I updated the program when the next version was released just to be sure. All the other times before and after this incident, Windows defender detected nothing.
Today, i remembered all this and did an online check of their homepage. There have been some bad reports about them. Here is the report from virustotal and here the report from quttera. I don't like shady companies when it has to do with me, so I removed the program and I don't plan to use it again. Just to be sure.

I 'd like to hear your opinions on this matter.

one bad notation from who? quttera (what is that, never heard before...) ? over more than 50 including very reputed vendors like Emsisoft and co , and you say it is shady ?

The official Wise Cleaner website is safe.
Goodware according to VT ratio.

Maybe you re right. And the rest of you who replied to me too. All this evidence I described just made me suspicious. If I have a good memory, you are/was a user of this program

yes i use it, but CCleaner is my main cleaning app; i don't see any evidences from your link, just one vendor, quttera saying it is malicious, that vendor look more shady than Wisecare btw

I use it and have no issues with my AV flagging it.

Exactly, now I don't have to point that out
But to be honest I own a lifetime to WinUtilities from YL Computing, but I have used WiseCare in the past and liked it.

So you say the detection from Windows Defender was just a false positive (and not a packed adware or sth worse) and the negative votes in VT are not an issue too. These were the rest. Not significant one by one, but the whole thing gave me a bad vibe.

Personally, i never had any alerts from WD against WDC.

I have Wise Disk Cleaner and Wise Registery Cleaner (portables) on my USB.
I love the softwares and I rarely use them. I do not think they are malicious or shady. I cannot say you that "Trust them" it is up to you
@BoraMurdar friend did a test with cleaner softwares and Wise did great job on that test.
