New low for CCleaner

I occasionally use CCleaner, for quick cleaning while preserving necessary cookies. Always use the free version, as I literally have no use for any paid features. I never leave it running in the background. Last update I installed and walked away, leaving for work. Came back to this screen on my desktop. A large overlay covering the entire interface, prompting user to upgrade. Sure, you can ask. Then I realized that I can’t find a way to close the ad. Tried just closing the app — nope. After staring at the screen for a long minute, finally saw the “No thanks”, white font on a white background, to the left of two prominent “Upgrade Now” buttons… I literally have never posted here before. Pissed me off.

Verizon makes it exceptionally difficult to return unwanted equipment

1. Verzon sends me stuff I don't want or ask for. 2. Verizon bills me for that stuff. 3. When I go to return the stuff at a Verizon store, they say I need an appointment and to use a map online to make one. 4. The map online consists of a very thin strip between my keyboard and a massive search box with an add. Neither of these elements are dismissible. 5. I cannot create an appointment, and thus must continue to pay for their shitty hardware.
