I agree about the bundling, but that is what makes it free. The company
gets money for bundling. Sucks, and an option should be available to opt
out of installing the trash progs, but it is what it is (my new catch phrase
for 2013).

So far, not really. I have tried the cleaner from IOBit, which did a
fairly good job. It was more accessible in earlier versions. The newer
versions, I do recommend to run from the SysTray - as the main application
screen is quite mouse extensive. If you only want to keep your system free
from malware, I do recommend SuperAntiSpyware, and Malwarebyte. Both can
be installed from the Ninite. But these anti-malware programs, do not
clean up your registry, like CCleaner. You have the IoBit software, or you
could give TuneUp (I do believe that's what it is called) a go. The
latter, I have not really tried, but know there is people on the list that
has had their hands on it. At the end of the day, I do see the need for a
registry clean - once in a while. But usually, things like CCleaner does
tend to clean both good and bad. It keeps cleaning out the license key on
one of my installed software, yet it has fixed a couple of minor troubles
here. Really, it all cooks down to taste and likings. But the day they
started to bundle CCleaner with junk, I did start to dislike the whole
thing. If you claim you are going to clean the computer, you definitely
should not be loading it down with another kind of trash, just to your own
liking. That is not what I expect from a cleaning software manufacturer.
Be as much freeware as it wants to, if it cannot be done without trash, I
dislike the stuff.

It actually has already been done. The CCleaner was part of the Ninite
installer - way up till something like two years ago. Then, all the
sudden, it was removed from the Ninite site. I did contact the customer
service at Ninite, and got a polite message in return, informing me that
the CCleaner team had requested their software being removed from the
Ninite installer. Too bad, but that is the reason why it is not there.
Somehow, I tend to stop using the CCleaner, simply due to the fact I am
tired of having to update the software numerous times a year, and every
time having to deal with a handful of junk. Not exactly a good
reputation for a software, that claims to help you keep your computer
clean and optimized. If they were that helpful, then why the junk. Eat
our burger and get poisoned? :) And if they do shower us with that kind
of junk as part of the software installation, then I do question how
much other "hidden" insecurity could be part of the CCleaner. Too bad,
since it seems to be one of the few accessible cleaners on the market.
But, I do have a feeling, the Ninite staff is not the ones to be
addressed here. Maybe a better idea would be, to get in touch with the
staff behind CCleaner directly, explaining how cumbersome it is to get
hold of their software, and what trash they deliver with it. Also,
stressing the fact that their software is accessible, and therefore
could be useful to the blind community. And, maybe, asking them what
other hidden stuff they include in their "cleaner".

Perhaps it might be good to get some requests in to the folks at
Ninite, asking that C Cleaner be added. It would be great to be able to
update C Cleaner easily and without having to deal with the so-called
convenience of getting Chrome and any other application they care to
add without any effort or the terrible hassle of giving permission.
They might not add it, or may not be able to get permission to add it
since I am certain that at least some applications' creators won't be
willing to allow for an installer that removes all of the extra junk,
but it might be worth a try.

chris

Warning: this installed Google Chrome on me when I installed CCleaner.
I
didn't see anything that warned me ahead of time and would have given
me an
opportunity to choose not to install Chrome.
