ccleaner update v5.65 & Avasti SecureLine VPN offer

[WHUDoug]

I use the free version of ccleaner (on Windows 7, I know out of date) and whilst upgrading ccleaner software through Piriform Ltd to v5.65, the process has given me a choice to add 'Avasti SecureLine VPN' as part of the upgrade.

Is it free (T&C's don't say)? Is it any good? I have been thinking of getting a VPN address, but is this offer more trouble than it's worth? I'm in the UK and have standard email connection via 'BT' ISP broadband provider.

I wouldn't know if it's any good or not.

But I would never take something just because it was offered when downloading/installing something else.

Do some research, look at a few reviews comparing different VPNs, then decide which you like the look of and go to the manufacturers site to download and give it a try, most have a limited period trial.

Here's just one review of the Avast offering, there are reviews many other VPNs on that site, and many other review sites.

Looks like a 7 day trial to me
