A disgruntled employee hacked it maliciously it when Piriform was acquired by the Avast/AVG conglomerate.
The only AV tool that picked it up was MS Defender. VirusTotal didn't pick it up because it didn't include the MS tools, and as far as I know it still doesn't… seemingly on ideological grounds. The stance some take against MS might make one think they killed Bambi or worse.
I use its disk clean up and start up tools because of their granularity. One thing I avoid like the plague is it's Driver update tool (it tells me I have 18 of them)… stopped doing 'just because' driver updates 20 odd years ago.
