It's dumb, no one has come out with a better (or just as good) temp and registry cleaner than CCleaner. All the while I have to sneak the handwritten note across the counter saying, or We are only allowed to use CCleaner for cleanings, that's it. Īs of now, there's only some weak agreement between Piriform and Bestbuy. BTW, this website does the best job MIO on how to clean a pc from viruses and spyware.

But how do you tell a customer to use 5-10 different pieces of software to clean their computer. We loose money redoing cleanings that the customer causes. They keep downloading the same crap that keeps infecting their systems, over and over. I would love to 'legally' tell our customers about CCleaner and filehippo. I work for the largest pc repair company in the US (Geek Squad) and use CCleaner every day. You also get access to the old versions too. Only the best of the best end up on filehippo. They are the premier download site for non-spyware software. I think Piriform should brag about filehippo. I mean why would filehippo allow CCleaner to be their main, bandwidth draining, download site? But even without this proof it has always been apparent that CCleaner and filehippo were related. Simply looking at their domain name records () they were all registered in 2005 by GoDaddy and all three are hosted on the same DNS server (). From my 'quick' research filehippo, CCleaner, and piriform are all owned and operated by the same individuals.
