  1. This service is part of Verizon’s suite of email and web advertising properties, which includes AOL and Yahoo. Very recently they  introduced this tracking tool that alerts advertisers to the moment you’re looking at your email inbox. They say... 

    We genuinely believe that our mutual customers deserve a unique experience which connects them to their passions,” Becker writes in the announcement. “We want to enable them to discover the things which matter to them. We want to enable them to get the most out of their inbox.” He goes to say that “we believe that tracking our customers is wrong,” and then follows that sentence up with, “But we also believe in the idea that they should be able to discover what is the most relevant to them.

  2. Firefox 75 comes with a new telemetry agent that sends information about your operating system and your default browser to Firefox every day. This guide will walk you through disabling this "feature" to protect your privacy.

    For some time, Firefox has been collecting telemetry data about how you use the browser, such as the number of web pages you visit, safebrowsing information, the number of open tabs and windows, what add-ons are installed, and more.

    This telemetry data is kept for 13 months and IP addresses listed in server logs are deleted every 30 days.

    On my computer, Firefox has collected over 400KB of information.

    I've never seen that one, but yes it's just a marketing reminder for anyone using the free version for business.

    At the same time behind it. but just to the side. was a different popup asking me to try Health Check (I use custom)

    I felt I was being bombarded with popups 😀

    HP Support Assistant, marketed by HP as a "free self-help tool," is pre-installed on new HP desktops and notebooks, and it is designed to deliver automated support, updates, and fixes to HP PCs and printers.

    To fully mitigate all flaws Demirkapi found, you will need to uninstall the vulnerable software by removing both HP Support Assistant and HP Support Solutions Framework from your computer.

    Half of CCleaner's users prefer the EasyClean/Health Check-style interface.  Half prefer the old interface.  Inspired by the wisdom of that little girl in the Taco ad, we provide both.

     

    Dave don't you think it's more likely that users do not know that Health Check has its own set of rules (hence the problems we see on forum) and as it's the default at install they run with it.

    It should be an opt in.

    Ccleaner suddenly stopped opening. I have CCleaner Professional.

     

    I uninstalled and reinstalled the ccleaner program.  It opened and worked once. After I exited and tried to open it again by double-clicking ther icon on my desktop, it would not open again.  What to do?

     

    What anti-virus are you using?

    What operating system are you running?

    My cc cleaner is now doing the same thing - I click on it's icon and it won't start. I'm using Windows 10 Professional and Trend Micro Internet security.

    Have you installed the Trend Micro upgrade?

    Have you tried this (whitelisting ccleaner)?
