I do not have Avast installed, and a relatively fresh install of Windows and i installed a packet monitor to check CCleaner. Lo and behold the CCUpdate.exe process is sending all my personal information to Avast.
My GPS Co-ordinates, my postcode (Zip code), my town, IP address, my ISP, country and timezone.
Now can Piriform please tell me why my GPS Co-ordinates and personal data are being transmitted to a third party server? I've attached a screenshot of the packet monitor, and for now uninstalled CCleaner and blocked the whole Avast.com domain in my Windows HOSTS file.
