Cel Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 My Google search showed ccleaner.co with / as the m. My Norton internet securities program showed it ok but I still don't feel so comfortable about this. It isn't a download site I recognize and I have never see a .co/ before. Is that site legit? Gosh I have been telling friends to Google cccleaner Gosh, I hope is was an ok site I learned something today always tell the valid url to my friends then I know they get the right program. I recommend your program to all my friends. It is a fine one. If it is a rogue site is there anything you have control over to have it taken down? Just curious. If it is legit I apologize for taking up your time. Thanks Cel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan_B Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 These are links to the official Piriform site http://www.piriform.com/ http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner http://www.piriform....leaner/download The only recommended / alternative host is shown half-way down on the left side of http://www.piriform....leaner/download It is http://www.filehippo...wnload_ccleaner I believe that there are many other sites that also offer CCleaner look-a-likes. Some such sites may provide the "real thing". CNET supplies the real thing but has the habit of foisting extra stuff as part of the deal - definitely not recommended. Many other sites are fraudulent and will even charge for their product, it would even be possible that what they supply is intended to damage the user's system and hold to ransom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWebAtom Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 ccleaner.co is an expired domain name. There is no actual website at that address, It's just a landing page promoting the .CO registry. .CO is a perfectly valid TLD. I suggest you look it up on Wikipedia. As the others have said, if in doubt always go to Piriform.com I'm Shane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted December 6, 2012 Moderators Share Posted December 6, 2012 @cel thanks for the heads up. The development team reads all threads if needs be they can/will take action ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.
