Now that Piriform has been acquired by Avast I don’t know how safe, and secure, anty of the former Piriform software will be. Avast has a reputation of spying on your computer habits. Once Avast Anti-virus is loaded into your system it is very difficult to delete. It is only logical that Avast will be implimenting their Spyware in Ccleaner, Defraggler and Speecy. That is quite unfortunate for alot of people who have relied on Piriform’s great software to help clean and defrag their computers.
