Hello world! It’s me again with a question!

So, I remember back in the days of WinXP and Vista when we had the CCleaner or CCCleaner. I recently watched a YouTube video about some guy stating that it is so good and the best thing you can use today.

If I recall correctly, didn’t they get compromised like 7 times already and switched owners a couple of times?

Same guy talked about NordVPN being so cool and stuff but a friend of mine found some software of them on his server, I don’t remember what kind, probably some tracker or adware, and since the incident happened around the time everyone started to get sponsored by them, I don’t really trust VPNs.

    Scammy companies pay for sponsoring, and scammy creators accept that sponsoring. Pretty sad for a paid course.

      Yes… the part of the course I am at right now is about encryption on windows. I just skipped how they expained encrypting your HDD with veracrypt… that’s sad… windows itself lets you encrypt stuff natively…

      Edit: now they encrypt it with bitlocker… like a whole 10 minutes of showing that…
