I just tried to report a very critical bug where Handbrake flat out incorrectly is reporting it’s encoding jobs as fully successful even in cases where less than 1% of the source could even be read. At least until it’s forked and the apparently the basic error checking that I’m pretty certain was present years ago and now admittedly is absolutely void can be properly added back. Now you need to do a piece on what to use instead of the very popular open-source encoding tool Handbrake. I’m a ccleaner user (for many years) and couldn’t agree more with your view. Now You: What is your take on the recent version? (via Techdows)

If you ask me, Piriform needs to implement clear and functional opt-out options (better opt-in but that won't be happening) and reveal exactly what data it collects and how that data is stored, shared and processed. The battle to win back user trust is an uphill one. While the cleaning works as good as it did years ago, recent decisions to push the monitoring functionality, introduce advertising popups for pro upgrades, hack, and analytics/privacy controversy have painted the program and the company in a bad light. Closing WordsĬCleaner was a program that worked fine out of the box for years but that is not really the case anymore. The company plans to release a fact sheet that outlines which data it collects, its purpose, and how it is processed. Update: Piriform contacted Ghacks about the controversy surrounding the last version of CCleaner.

Most users may not be tech savvy enough to disable the monitoring component (and thus the sending of analytics data). The new release is weeks away according to the post and users who upgrade to version 5.45 are stuck with a program that runs constantly in the background and reports analytics data back to Piriform. Users will have options to enable none, some or all of the functions directly from the user interface. The company promises to do better by separating Active Monitoring and the anonymous collecting of usage analytics in the user interface so that users can (better) control the two features. The extended analytics functionality was added to the Active Monitoring in CCleaner 5.45 Piriform's representative admitted that the solution was not the best.
