Hello,
I have been using Ccleaner for many, many, many years...but this may be my last.
I am aware that another company owns CCleaner and they are pushing the envelop on the sales reach and taking away the pure spirit CCleaner once had regarding no ads, no BS. That's something I am finding different these days, compared to the years of good cleaning I have enjoyed. The pricing is gauging me, now too. The slimy Cash Back scheme is VERY old co-opting scheme used by some of the worst marketers and tools I ever used. So, that is a huge disappointment. I am sure the Parent company who purchased CCleaner knew this, and doesn't give 2 cents of care about us, the original customer base. If they do, then they will back off the aggressive sales tactics which I find flies in the face of what CCleaner was vs what it has become.
In a small effort I am trying to stop the SPAM from CCleaner itself. BTW(there is ABOSOLUTY, no way I would pay for software that is pulling the old McAfee(Slimmy) sales style pop-ups, nagging screens we see in CCleaner. Here: https://share.getcloudapp.com/wbu9E9Ad
We see here in settings - we do not have the option to stop 1st party ads, simply those from 3rd parties.
I get these annoying pop-ups all the time. It sucks when I am using my computer, and these distractions overlay my work and pull my focus. It won't be happening for much longer as I will delete this software and never look back again if I can't find a good answer to my question here within 3 days. No real lose, other than I paid for pro for a couple years, hoping for the best.
For the best meaning - I thought by paying such a HIGH price - they would make enough to reduce the invasive BS on my computer from their "Cleaner". Well, that's not what has happened. If anything - I see more development $ spent on invading my system even more. I don't know all the details, and really don't care. All I know is CCleaner used to be $9 and worked like a charm, now it's $29-$100 and works like mud on a pig.
Here is my settings page:

If anyone knows how to stop the stupid insanity of this "healthy app" - please let me know. It's about to become a straggler.
Thank you!
Ya know?
