Hi all, I too am a long time user, and as a tech, once upon a time I used to recommend this software to every customer. But once Avast took over, and it all went to s**t, I stopped recommending to anyone. But still kept using it myself. Originally I did not mind, as the price was not too bad, even though all the cleaning can be done without the aid of a program, but what can I say?, we are all lazy, and it is far easier to do it all at the press of a button, instead of taking all the necessary steps that are automated for us. However, the price has risen 200% in 4 years, or 100% at the "loyalty discount" price. And then there is the issue of pop-ups and non-advertising-advertising. Now, as to the annoying pop-up advertising that is not advertising apparently, I have worked out the correct way to finally stop it. If you simply right click on the windows icon or perform a search, there is a built in program in Windows called "Programs and Features" This will bring up a list of programs. Select "Ccleaner" and on the top bar, you have "Organize" and "Uninstall/Change" Select "Uninstall/Change", click "Next" and you will find all those non-advertising pop-ups should stop. You will probably have to block emails too, but this will definitely stop the non-advertising-advertising pop-ups. You are then free to download the free version of Ccleaner, or one of the multitude of better programs out there that are still in the spirit of the original Ccleaner Hope this helps someone. You're Welcome ;)
