This week CCleaner got a mention on the Gadget Show (Channel 5, UK). The weekly tech program ran a feature on online security, and recommended CCleaner as a great way to keep your data private.
Internet security is a hot topic at the moment, and more and more people are turning to CCleaner to remove traces of their digital footprints. The Gadget Show highlighted how your online habits and personal data may be available to others, from advertisers to hackers.
Presenter Dom Littlewood explained that deleting cookies and other traces of your online activities using CCleaner helps to protect you.
The show also discussed 'secret' search engines like DuckDuckGo that don’t record your searches, browser extensions that block tracking cookies, antivirus software and how to stay safe when using unsecured public Wi-Fi.
CCleaner has previously been featured on the BBC and in newspapers such as The Washington Post, The Independent, The Telegraph and The Guardian.
Forgot about that, it had me shouting at the screen when he (falsely) claimed CCleaner found over a gigabyte of information that would all have been sent on to third party tracking companies. Either not as tech savvy as he claims or never used CCleaner till that clip was actually filmed.
I did rip it and try to upload it myself to get round it for our US friends, but no matter what I tried YouTube sussed it was copyright and applied the same restrictions.
