It's that time of the year when cleverbridge / Piriform Software Ltd pester me with email reminders to renew my subscription to CCleaner Professional.
They say "Your CCleaner Professional subscription is coming to an end in 29 days.
To ensure your premium features continue without interruption, your account will be billed 15 days in advance of your current subscription expiry.
Your CCleaner Professional will be automatically renewed at £19.95".
These would be most helpful reminders if I had a paid-for subscription but I don't. I have the free version.
Piriform (the maker of CCleaner) was bought by Avast in July 2017; there were a few problem incidents reported as a result and I think it was Julia (@Ṣmeed) who posted an alert that the new CCleaner wasn't something for 'amateur' users (such as me).
I will be making a formal complaint to Guy Saner, Piriform's CEO, about these lies. If I don't get satisfaction from him/his team, I will complain to the Advertising Standards Agency and similar UK bodies. Piriform shouldn't be allowed to get away with this tactic.
Back to my immediate problem. How do I find the thread that I created in 2017 about Piriform/Avast renewal lies, please?
