Well, I've documented above, that Piriform has now published some Office addresses, but scattered over it's web site. The tipster found this quite strange and started a research, because you need to trust a software (and it's vender) that you install on your system. Requests to their support forum are dismissed with 'We have the right to remain anonymous' and the posts are deleted shortly afterwards. All they write is 'Piriform is located in the heart of London's West End.' My email request for identity was ignored. I could not find a proper imprint, as it should be for every professionally acting company.

Why should someone do such an effort to bring a free software 'anonymously' to people? He had asked Pirifom for the address (probably before the sale to AVAST), but did not get it. The tipster wrote, that this is suspicious. This is a no go in Germany, and a serious company should not act in that way, even if it's located in Britain. The 'About Piriform' link shown above opens a page, where (currently) no address is offered.

A German blog reader informed me, that the page Terms of Use mentions another office address: 163 Eversholt Street, London, NW1. says, it resided at 110 High Holborn, London, WC1V 6JS. Note: Searching the web, I found the Office page, shown within the above screenshot, where Piriform Software Ltd. It is a Limited company founded under British law (offices are listed here, which I only found via Google). from which CCleaner, Defraggler (also such a Windows killer) and more come. But has you noticed that their websites like doesn't contain address information – at least at a prominent place, like the site's footer? No imprint, just a reference to a Piriform Ltd. Piriform belongs to antivirus vendor AVAST. I then started s research and checked the information. My remarks: Strange is an understatement!Īnd another thing – one of my blog readers had pointed out something very strange to me sometimes in 2017 in a private message on Facebook (which I never recognized, and that strangely enough just popped up these days, among other 7 private messages, I've neveer seen before). I know that some people swear by the tool – I still recommend not to use it. v5.44 Business Edition: (32-bit installer).

You can grab version 5.44 from one of the links below:ĬCleaner V5.45 has simply been withdrawn and the previous version 5.44 is offered for download again. Today we have removed v5.45 and reverted to v5.44 as the main download for CCleaner while we work on a new version with several key improvements. We're also creating a factsheet to share which will outline the data we collect, for which purposes and how it is processed. We're currently working on separating out cleaning functionality from analytics reporting and offering more user control options which will be remembered when CCleaner is closed.

I wanted to give a quick progress update on what we're doing. Thank you all for your continued feedback (positive and negative, it all helps). Now a developer from Piriform posted the following text in the Piriform forum. But user feedback was not overwhelming, some suggested to pull version 5.45. Piriform had promised to add an option to disable the telemetry data acquisitionin the coming versions. (Source: Talos) Piriform promised improvements I reported on the topic in my post AVAST CCleaner 5.45 and the telemetry thing. This caused a lot of user critics and triggered lot of negative reports on the web. Users cannot simply deactivate the functions (only via workarounds). Piriform has upgraded the telemetry data acquisition in this new version. Security provider AVAST owns Piriform, and Piriform has released version 5.45 of the CCleaner a few days ago.
