CCleaner's Dirty Secret
I recently updated CCleaner, a program that roots out temporary and useless files on your hard drive, because it's best not to run an outdated copy of a program that might mistake "My Documents" for "crap".
After running the setup program I unchecked the usual suspects. No, I don't want a desktop icon. Yes, I want it on my start menu. No, I don't want Yahoo! toolbar.
Wait a second. Yahoo! Toolbar?
I find it ironic that a program formerly known as "Crap Cleaner" is so hot to install something like Yahoo! Toolbar on my precious PC.
It's like a bottle of Pine-Sol® that opens up a secret hatch and a little robotic boot pops out and stomps muddy footprints on your kitchen floor.
