    Unfucking believable, also the grift continues “Avast has been acquired by Gen Digital, a firm that contains Norton, Avast, LifeLock, Avira, AVG, CCLeaner, and ReputationDefender, among other security businesses.”

        My roommate from a year ago was adamant CCleaner was required for his PC to keep running. In 2023. I was just shocked to see it was still even a thing.

        CCLeaner?

        They really don’t like the original name Crap Cleaner anymore, eh?
