![]() It consequently caught about 10-15 or so 'baddies' while I was trying to test the new freeware programs onto my computer as well as immediately warning me while I was in the process of downloading the installation. I first tried using Malwarebytes freeware version and afterwards I upgraded to Malwarebytes Anti-Malware pro. I actually test freeware programs as a hobby on the side and I probably download and install around a dozen or so of new full applications andor utility programs to test out each month so I have to be careful. The program works really wonderfully and has served me well for a while now. I have used the Malwarebytes "Pro version" very successfully (but the freeware version is sufficient). Price: Free Trial ($30.00) review details Don't get me wrong here, I'm not really complaining because Xplorer2 Lite, which is offered free for personal and academic use and is actually an overall useful program however the fact remains that - simply put - the free version is FAR LESS useful. But for me, the biggest negative is that you still must use the Windows Explorer search function in order to search for any files. This can make for an extremely frustrating experience while using it, because many of the options (those that are made unavailable) are not clearly labeled as such. Often time's free versions of software are independent of their paid upgrade, however Xplorer2 Lite is simply Xplorer2 with more than just a few of the far more useful options turned off. Three other man features of the Xplorer2 Professional version not present in the lite version are advanced search (Omni-Finder), full Unicode support and robust transfer. For example: As opposed to the professional version this lesser version basically lacks customizability and any "search command." Additionally, Check Duplicates and Compare Subfolders functions are disabled in the 'free' lite version. ![]() However, I gradually became disenchanted that the more advanced features are restricted to the Pro version. I actually used Xplorer2 (as well as its predecessor: 2圎xplorer) "Lite" version a dual-pane file manager for Microsoft Windows operating systems, for several years and enjoyed it very much as an alternative to Windows Explorer. Also, another minor issue is that it seemed to be much easier to access it after uploading from the Chrome Browser (as opposed to others that I like to use) but no biggie. docs - but there were a lot of them so no complaints, really. The only somewhat 'negative' thing I can think of regarding the other Google Drive software is that it took a really LONG time to upload all the. ![]() I downloaded a few things to test it out and then just last night I uploaded my entire Windows 7 'documents' folder (where I keep just about everything). I have the Google Drive the service too and so far so good. And I especially liked it when I checked the site today right after your posts in here, btw - thx! And was offered a "free user" upgrade from 7GB to 25GB supposedly "for loyal users" in the "Manage storage" section of the SkyDrive site. ![]() I had previously tested and used SkyDrive prior to upgrading (but not Office 365 at least not yet, anyway) and I really like it a lot, as well. So, it may now be the case that if you go to install CCleaner while running Microsoft Defender, you’re no longer warned against proceeding, assuming the security app is indeed updated as CCleaner asserts.I upgraded SkyDrive and received a BONUS of up to 25 GB! (vs. We surmise the issue appears to be around bundling, and we believe we have addressed this so that our product is now no longer flagged.” Often, these matters are down to the way the options to opt out are presented.Īt any rate, according to a statement just released by CCleaner, the firm believes that the issue has been resolved.Ī CCleaner spokesperson told us: “We are in the process of engaging with Microsoft to understand why CCleaner was recently detected as PUA. The company observes that while the CCleaner installation process does provide a way to opt out of putting these extras on your PC, as you would expect, the judgment is that “some users can easily inadvertently install these bundled applications”. Microsoft further stresses that those bundled apps are perfectly fine and not in any way malicious, of course, but it’s the way that they are offered for installation which is problematic. Those bundled apps include Google Chrome browser, Google Toolbar, and Avast Free Antivirus plus AVG Antivirus Free (note that Piriform is now owned by Avast, which also owns AVG too). ![]()
