Why Latest ccleaner 5.12 has an integrated Google toolbar installer?

[jeansagi]

It is not supposed that since some version ago cclear, even the free versions, did not have ad-ware?

 

This is preventing ccleaner upgrades since some antiviruses (for example latest eset smart-security) are detecting this as a potential security breach.

 

All in all you can discard all the antivirus messages an install the ccleaner latest version but, I really think, this is not professional from ccleaner and left much to be desired.

Use the slim version instead ...no toolbar.

It has always (or at least many many years) had google offer. You claim "it is not supposed to since some version ago" is untrue. Perhaps you mistake the fact you didn't see the offer for many (perhaps a year of?) versions, may be due to the (time limited) "do not offer" registry entry created by google installer when you decline the offer.

 

As to professionality of the offer, I assume you are not a user of the paid version (within the year of updates that bestows), thus just viewing this simple 5 second offer is your way of paying for the developers work (and thus maybe they can eat, or pay mortgages or live in modern capitalist nations), I think it's a minor hassel, yes?

 

Eset has been asked numerous times not to flag this, and within the program you can turn off PuP detection.

 

Hazelnut is correct though, you can use the slim installer, so long as you don't mind waiting the delay after release (usually about a week or two) for your update.
