Man that program has gone down the fucking drain. First bundling in bloatware, now this?
What's a good alternative?
Bleachbit or Glary Utilities
I replaced it with BleachBit after their auto-updater led to a situation where everyone was advised to wipe Windows.

Goddamn it gets worse. As soon as I get home from work I'll give a BleachBit a go. Thanks all!
Ohhh thank you for suggesting these, I had been considering swapping for CCleaner for weeks now but didn't know of a good alternative.
Glary Utilities has been my go to for years. First time I've ever seen anyone else mention it!
