Hello world! It’s me again with a question!

So, I remember back in the days of WinXP and Vista when we had the CCleaner or CCCleaner. I recently watched a YouTube video about some guy stating that it is so good and the best thing you can use today.

If I recall correctly, didn’t they get compromised like 7 times already and switched owners a couple of times?

Same guy talked about NordVPN being so cool and stuff but a friend of mine found some software of them on his server, I don’t remember what kind, probably some tracker or adware, and since the incident happened around the time everyone started to get sponsored by them, I don’t really trust VPNs.

    Doesnt really clean up after much more than default windows apps and IE, unfortunately. (Theres an API for registering apps but I’ve never seen an app use it.) Doesnt clean up NVIDIA install files, doesnt clean up %localappdata%\Temp, or the Office install files at C:\temp. Not MS Edge cache, chromium cache, discord cache, adobe cache, nor system logs. The currently best, which I dont think is as good yet as CCleaner once was, is BleachBit. But its more trustworthy than CCleaner and it is open source.
