WolvenSpectre Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 (edited) I have been a user of CCleaner for a fair time now and when I saw an update listed on CNet's Windows Daily Update (Previously known as VersionTracker's Daily Newsletter) I went to download it. I noticed the minor change in name which I thought was strange. Then the screenshot didn't match. Then the site of origin, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Did you know these guys are using the CCleaner name? If you did and this is nothing new, I appologize but I couldn't find anything on it by searching the forums.

Moderators DennisD Posted September 21, 2010 Moderators Share Posted September 21, 2010 Hi WolvenSpectre, and welcome to the forum. Thanks for posting that, I'll pass this on to the devs, and I've removed the link so as not to give them free publicity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted September 21, 2010 Moderators Share Posted September 21, 2010 (edited) Thank you for your report. Every so often someone tries to make a program that pulls on the ccleaner name. I'm sure the Devs will look into this immediatly (suprised that Cnet would list it) I have also rated this site as poor on W(eb)O(f)T(rust) and Mcaffe Siteadvisor. EDIT Edited September 21, 2010 by Nergal Ninja'd by Dennis ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.
