![]() ![]() I am sure they don't do that CURRENTLY due to the fact that Piriform DOES provide this "slim" build and respects that they do. I have many a times accidentally skipped passed the bloatware options and installed them, its VERY annoying, its also a pain to have to manually find reg entrys and file/folder left behind because over 90% (remember percentages are pulled from peoples ass's) of the software I use/deal with cant make an uninstaller that actually "totally" uninstalls (mountainous software that "advertises" this ability aside)Īs for "if you where Piriform you would scrap "slim" builds", thats fine, then the untold amounts of people with my mentality (wont lie, most of them are software pirates) on dealing with BLOAT infested software would strip it out and it would appear on 0Day and AppADay sites on the SAME day that Piriform releases an actual software update. To make things simple, I have often said that when I am capable (happens now and again) I would pay/donate to get the Slim version, as it stands, I HAVE donated before hoping to maybe see something change/come out faster.įor me, I redo my pc every other month (sometimes theres a month or 2 lapse), AND I deal with VM's alot I setup then destroy then setup again. If I was Piriform I would scrap all the "slim" builds tomorrow. If it did happen because of some glitch, I would simply remove it and get on with my life. In the almost 6 years I've been on this forum, I have never downloaded the "slim" version of any of Piriforms software, and I have never looked at is as "bloat" or accidently installed "Google Crap". To me, it is absolutely no problem at all to uncheck a couple of boxes to obtain a free version of something someone has actually spent a lot of time putting together, probably at some cost. I use all free software on my computer, and I haven't yet come across a software house which provides a "slim" version of their free software, and I've never considered it as sneaky to see a toolbar or browser option. If I was Piriform I wouldn't even provide a "slim" version after reading comments like the ones here, as you really don't deserve a free program with no options to click out of. * as a side note, due to the fact i normally check every day, this is pretty accurate, however there might have been times that i was away for a good 4-7 days on the rare occasion and you can of course adjust for variances if you wish and of course if you have exacts for the last year~ on BLOAT and SLIM release dates then I would appreciate seeing this detailed information as well as a fancy graph showing the increase in time between BLOAT and SLIM build release datesĪt the risk of being rude, which I don't intend to be, it never ceases to amaze me when people talk about the normal build of CCleaner as "bloat", and the option of installing "Google crap". "When a new build of any freeware by piriform is released it is always about a month or so later that a slim build appears." So just to put it bluntly, im not trying to be rude (comes out like that anyway, dont really care, face to face gives a totally different feeling then reading plain text), but heres your reply, fixed: Once upon a time (a year~ ago) it was only a few days later, months ago the norm was only one or 2 weeks (and 2 weeks was uncommon but not rare), however in the past 2~ months the time has drastically increased (compared to "a few days"), an example in progress (aka so you can see for yourself that the statement is incorrect) is Defraggler! its already passed the 2 week mark since Defraggler's latest release (April 14th) and I get the feeling its going to keep increasing (and on a side note, this is the LONGEST I have seen between a release and a "wheres the slim" forum topic since i normally check out the bug reports section of the forum on BLOAT release day visits). Your statement is technically incorrect and REALLY gives false hope! I just wanted to jump in here and point out a few things. When a new build of ccleaner is released it is always a few days later that a slim build appears. ![]()
