So much for “just remove the old version of Ccleaner. There’s nothing to worry about”.

Avast have just shot themselves in the foot in a very public way.

@tim_g I guess it comes down to passion. And that last comment hurts my soul. I weep for your ears.

I know what you mean. I can't stand crap audio (phone speakers/bad car stereos), so I would rather not listen to music when it can't be played through something decent. However I can't bring myself to drop a wad of cash on expensive speakers/headphones. So I have a scale of acceptability.

oh,.. and considering the future of this goofy Surface,..... likely eBay

Put it on the highway and let a few road trains run over it, whilst you laugh maniacally. Then post it back to Microsoft.

I missed it all. What was it all about?

This: https://mangolassi.it/topic/15128/hackers-hid-backdoor-in-ccleaner-security-app

I only ever used the portable version from portableapps.com
No install necessary and it, well, I used to use it from a USB stick every now and then.

Personally, I'd rather pay for RevoUninstaller (free version only does 32 bit software). It runs the uninstall (like appwiz.cpl), and does a post uninstall cleanup of left overs (registry items, files, and folders).
Much better application IMO.

Yeah, It's Monday.
Even the error messages know it.

Weird ticket: Initial request was that a PC needed to have a printer attached for the user. Now before I can even look at why the GPO isn't applying, the PC isn't posting.

Bloody printers. Someone must have needed something.

System updated, but somehow my console didn't reflect it on SSH.

Weird. Anyway, we are up and all is well.

With a new email notification format.

Hmmm, picture scaling could use a little work...

But still, it's quite a nice improvement. Looks fairly swish all things considered.
I like it.
