Microsoft Bans CCleaner From Microsoft Support Forums

Microsoft has never been a fan of registry cleaners, and today we have learned that the company has taken steps to ensure that such software is not recommended to users who are having issues with their PCs.

HTNovo reports that Microsoft has added CCleaner.com to their blacklist of domains on the official Microsoft Support forums.

The Blacklist Filter notes that:

“Microsoft has various filters in place to keep community members safe. When a website that is blacklisted is posted, the system will remove it if it has been posted by an unaffiliated user. The filter will remove part of the site so it is unreadable with 4 stars (****). Affiliated users will be able to post websites which are blacklisted.”
