  1. I have just noticed I have got two spam emails one from tabletpcreview and another from some other random company. The funny thing is I have only ever used this email for signing up here so its pretty obvious who has sold my data - the spam email from tabletpcreview came on the same day as I signed up here 1.5hrs after signing up. I only signed up here to wine about the fact I had software forced installed on my PC which I though was wrong - sadly I had the SAME THING HAPPEN AGAIN WITH RECUVA LAST WEEK but couldn't be bothered to come here to say the same thing again - the installer was hanging so I tried to close it in process manager and I see its downloading ANOTHER INSTALLER WITHOUT PERMISSION so I cut my internet and suddenly the installer stops hanging and closes instantly! WTF are you doing piriform??? This is the second time in my computer this has happened!!! - I have had both ccleaner and recuva installer previously so I should NOT HAVE GOT ANY OFFER NOR SHOULD IT HAVE STARTED DOWNLOADING AND INSTALLING FORCEWARE ONTO MY PC!!!! Firstly I would just like piriform to start being honest and STOP THIS FORCEFUL INSTALLS OF UNWANTED PROGRAMS ONTO MY PC.. If you are too useless to create a proper installer please just remove all your bundled software as at this stage you are infecting my computer with malicious programs I never asked for which is quite likely AGAINST THE LAW! - And even if its not against the law its immoral and you should probably try harder to make sure this NEVER HAPPENS!!! Second I would appreciate if your company had the slightest bit of decency and refrained from sharing or selling user data like email addresses to third parties - EVEN IF IT IS IN YOUR LONG AGREEMENT THAT I ACCEPTED THAT YOU CAN SELL MY EMAIL IT DOESNT MAKE IT RIGHT TO DO AND YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER THAN TO SELL US OUT LIKE THIS.. I mean honestly what type of company are you running there? It seems it is becoming more malicious and criminal every day! As a company I respected for over a decade you really know how to go and s**t all over your customers so I just want to say please have some respect for us and yourselves and stop being complete and utter douches!!
  2. August 4th with v5.44.6575 installer, there was NO checkbox or avast warning at the bottom it was entirely BLANK, I clicked on 'customize' and checked in there there was no hidden options for software or anything else to change (like I always do) I went back to install screen where there was still no warning/checkbox/installer etc at the bottom so I simply clicked install,then when complete I try to shut down and windows tells me it is waiting for avast installer which is running.. It was running silently in the background without warning. I closed the 'avast installer' in task manager then 5 seconds later a 7mb exe popped up on desktop and I see it had downloaded ~129mb into program files 'AVAST Software' folder. After restarting the system avast did not actually appear to have been installed but at this point ccleaner was bugged up and I could NOT disable the useless system monitoring no matter how many times I tried to turn it on/off and restart. I finally uninstall and reinstall ccleaner and thankfully the second install did NOT download any more unauthorized software installers to my computer and this time system monitoring was disabled the instant I unmarked the checkbox, I deleted the files downloaded and the installer and apart from that cannot notice any changes to my system but is still a worry your program has forced this download of files onto my system without consent. I am using dell venue 11 tablet ( Core i5 4300Y ) and was updating a previous 544 install, internet here is only 10mbs/1mbs connection over Wireless 4G which is still fast enough for streaming 1080p youtube videos. I think this should never happen without warning and after spending 10 minutes googling then reading online about multiple other people who have also recently experienced this forced download/install of this unwanted software (in multiple of your installers) I am now extremely curious why, if you are aware of the problem you have not fixed your installer, and (since it is still happening) if the installer is not easily 'fixable' which appears to be the case then why exactly haven't you already changed it to an 'opt in' system and released a new installer until you can fully fix this problem I and others have had? Long story short there was absolutely no warning I really don't appreciate having unauthorized software silently download or install to my machine without my permission no matter the program I and I am sure others consider this forced download behavior malicious.
