Nick, I've used CCleaner for years. Once the company caught wind of the hack, they sent out an immediate update as a counter measure. Basically, old news?

this is not old news Hav .. You should use Revo uninstaller to delete it so it removes all the orphan files add & remove leave . Use TFC instead .

Will that temp file cleaner delete passwords?

NO, But you should always have a hard copy somewhere in case of a hard drive failure .[ETC].
By the way CC Cleaner was recently bought by Avast . Hopefully they will improve it ..
When i used it , I used CC lite . Didn't do any damage to necessary files ..

I have all my passwords in a notebook, a real paper notebook.
Thanks nick. I saw the date 9/18/17 on that article, so assumed it was the old news.
Can you link Revo Uninstaller for us?

Sorry , Thought i did ..
Find the software you want to delete in Revo. Right check and delete .
Let it do it's thing. Then a page will come up with a bunch of extra files it found . Check select all , Delete . It may do it a second time as it searches a different section on your confuser . do the same thing .

Awesome stuff Nick. I (we) really appreciate all your great advice.
Last question, since I use to use CCleaner every few days to clean up the crap I get from perusing the forums. I have now deleted the cleaner but is there a way to save the new cleaner to my desktop, and would you recommend doing this with the same frequency as CCleaner?
