Win Master for Cleaner’s ccheeky trick
If you’re looking for a new junk-cleaning tool, never search for one on Google. The results are littered with so many dodgy sponsored links that anything truly useful gets lost.
One especially shameless example is this sponsored entry, which looks like it’s for a tool called Ccleanmaster ( 1 in our screenshot right) but actually leads to the awkwardly named program ‘Win Master for Cleaner’. Made by ‘Hong Kong master science and technology Limited’ (no, us neither), it claims to be “one app to fix it all”.
