    Yeah here we go again. I just use the portable version these days.

    That's what I do as well.

    Furthermore, I remove the 'x86' and 'x64' folders from it (driver updater), so that I have less bloat.
    Bonus: it starts much faster. :)

    I find that HiBit Uninstaller has enough cleanup functionality that I have no need to use anything else. CCleaner should have kept its original name.

    Seems like this shows a potential danger for mergers. When one is hacked, the others could likely be as well.
