    Can you elaborate on how it’s a virus? I hear this a lot but haven’t heard any substantial truth aside from referring to a privacy policy that is identical to 90% of every other website anyone else uses.

      Piriform was a very trustworthy tool developer until it was surreptitiously bought by a chinese company and immediately turned into a virus for the next release. It instantly lost its trust and has been garbage since that day.
