JetClean is good. However, some users might not like that is was last updated in February 2016.
Here are two lists of alternatives to CCleaner. https://www.techspot.com/article/167...-alternatives/ https://www.techradar.com/news/the-b...es-to-ccleaner I use CCleaner 5.40.6411 in Windows 7 without issues. |

Thank you for the useful links. Like most people, I used Ccleaner for a long time until Avast came in to the scene. From what I have seen here and elsewhere, no-one knows what Avast will pull on you next. Rather than go through life looking over my shoulder all the time, I prefer to use trustworthy software; those I can use without having to worry about "what are they going to do next!" Hence, my question here.
I did a little more work investigating JetClean and found this herdProtect results of the developer BlueSpring. JetClean is about midway down the list. https://www.herdprotect.com/signer-b...fa0fdca85.aspx

There are other cleaners which you can try.
deya suggested HDCleaner here: https://www.techsupportalert.com/fre...wnloads-6.html In one post below, my post contains name of other alternatives. I meant to try them, but haven't tried them yet.

![]() Thank you. I certainly would like to use it if I can stop Avast meddling with my computer and collecting data.
