To my fellow Mac OS users,
I am writing this to urge youto stop using CCleaner for Mac. This is not because it's a bad product as it's a great product in my opinion. No, this is because the team behind AVAST CCleaner could care less about its Mac OS product nor the Mac users that continue to advocate it despite the lack of courtesy or acknowledgement we receive in return.
I am writing this on March 27, 2021, nearly 6 months since CCMac 1.8.30 was released back in October 2020. Since then, the CCleaner team has released 8 new updates to it's CCleaner for Windows software. Yes, despite your countless posts to this community and social media begging and pleading for a fix, all you've received are a handful of dismissive responses and absolutely no efforts to address nor resolve the issue.
The latest response was from @Dave CCleaner on March 24, 2021:
What doesn't seem to sink in for @Dave CCleaner and the other admins is this: If users are coming to you to report a problem, that means there IS a problem. Clearly they could care less for loyal Mac users, which is why I urge all of you to look towards some strong alternatives which are equal, if not superior, to CCleaner for Mac:

Please note that I am a longtime user of CCleaner, both as a PC user and later Mac. But even the best products are useless without support for its users. I have tested all the listed alternatives and can personally vouch for each one. So join me in saying goodbye to CCleaner as they continue to bring new malware to their Windows software (and before this post gets deleted).
Sincerely,
Carrie
