A question about the CCleaner (self.programming)

Hello world! It's me again with a question!

So, I remember back in the days of WinXP and Vista when we had the CCleaner or CCCleaner. I recently watched a YouTube video about some guy stating that it is so good and the best thing you can use today.

If I recall correctly, didn’t they get compromised like 7 times already and switched owners a couple of times?

Same guy talked about NordVPN being so cool and stuff but a friend of mine found some software of them on his server, I don’t remember what kind, probably some tracker or adware, and since the incident happened around the time everyone started to get sponsored by them, I don’t really trust VPNs.

There are legit VPN companies. Mullvad would be my choice if I didn't already use Proton for their suite of software.

Nord is shit-tier. CCleaner is shit-tier. Raid shadow legends is shit tier.

Note which youtuber it is, and completely disregard anything they say.

I hate to admit, but I played Raid shadow legends on day 1. it was shit-tier after 3 hours and thirsted for money.

Needless to say, a YouTuber I saw during a YouTube-Trip said that they declined the raid shadow legends deal, despite it being 5 figures. Didn’t say the specific amount though.
