Does CCleaner have any plans to include "SRWare Iron Browser" into the lineup of browsers it cleans when run? I really like this particular browser but it doesn't currently appear to be included. TIA
Other Supported BrowsersK-Meleon, Rockmelt, Flock, Google Chrome Canary, Chromium, SeaMonkey, Chrome Plus, SRWare Iron, Pale Moon, Phoenix, Netscape Navigator, Avant and Maxthon.
Some SRWare Iron cleaning is in the winapp2.ini (file) located here:

Some more here (which is at the very top of this forum area where you posted):
I stumbled across a really interesting article today. In a nutshell:
The simple fact is that Iron is a scam and the developer is using you.

I was originally going to use SRWare Iron, but found out by installing it some things couldn't be enabled so ended up using Comodo Dragon instead. If that developer is only after ad revenue he wouldn't be the first.

There's nothing inherently wrong with an ad-supported business model. Piriform used it for years. Heck; 95% of the money I make from software development is based on advertising revenue.
The issue here is the way the Iron developer is manipulating the fear of his users; leading them to believe they're at risk from (non-existant) security issues. It's essentially scareware.
scareware + scamware. Surprised there's not a cease and desist order sent against it already. Then Irons market share is probably dismally uncountable.
