Moderators Andavari Posted November 7, 2023 Moderators Share Posted November 7, 2023 Didn't know anything about that but searching reveals there's an AVG version and Avast version - same company btw. Probably best to ask on either AVG or Avast since they're the people making it depending upon which one you installed since this forum is for CCleaner specifically.

Moderators nukecad Posted November 8, 2023 Moderators Share Posted November 8, 2023 We only had a few reports of the MOVEit email, and the free offer of Breachguard for six months. Be aware that I believe the offer is for a free subscription to Breachguard, so if you keep it beyond the initial six months then it may automatically renew and charge you to keep using it. I'm not 100% sure of that, but you may want to double check if an automatic subscription renewal/charge has been set up for Breachguard. For some more details about the CCleaner emails, and advice about what to do if you have been affected in any data breach, see the thread here: Â *** Out of Beer Error ->->-> Recovering Memory *** Worried about 'Tracking Files'? Worried about why some files come back after cleaning?

redwolfe_98 Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 i don't think that there is anything to worry about, in this case. there was a breach regarding ccleaner's paying customers, but i would imagine that most of the information was encrypted, so nothing to worry about.
