While the bundled applications themselves are legitimate, bundling of software, especially products from other providers, can result in unexpected software activity that can negatively impact user experiences. The reason for this is as follows:Ĭertain installers for free and 14-day trial versions of CCleaner come with bundled applications, including applications that are not required by CCleaner or produced by the same publisher Piriform.
On this Microsoft page there is a note that Windows Defender now detects an unwanted program PUA:Win32/CCleaner. Microsoft Flags CCleaner as Potentially Unwanted Application, Deletes Its Files #Microsoft #PUA #antivirus #CCleaner #Avast Various media have noticed – Microsoft has once again pulled the rip cord and classified the cleaner as a potentially unwanted program (PUP) via Windows Defender. They did it again: Defender blocks CCleaner
A few days later there was the back rowing when Microsoft removed the entry again. Specifically, the entire domain of Piriform was put on the blacklist. In September 2019, I had mentioned in the German blog post Microsoft setzt CCleaner-Domain auf die Black-List that Microsoft had put Pirifom's optimization and cleaning software CCleaner on the list of unwanted programs.
