    It's not just a good alternative to CCleaner, it's even better than this. I can not confirm the Bundleware, at least not since a long time ago, even File Puma, Glary's own page is a highly recommended site to find and download software of all kinds.

    Glary Utilities, to my knowledge, has not been hacked and packed with malware.

    I'm really surprised how something this good can be free and most importantly ad-free. Definitely going to donate to keep up the good work! Thumbs up

    Not a good alternative, seems like a bait and switch company. Got a really bad feeling with their free trial and deleted immediately.
