“I’ve seen Piriform grow from a bedroom-based hobby to a real business with billions of downloads, millions of users and a worldwide fan base. Steckler also pointed out that both Avast and Piriform have strong and loyal communities whose members provide product feedback and help each other. Avast CEO Vince Steckler believes the CCleaner brand fits his company very well as they both provide high-quality free products. The Piriform acquisition will broaden Avast’s presence in London and the companies say they will combine their expertise to deliver even better products.ĬCleaner is used by more than 130 million people worldwide, including 15 million Android device users. While the Piriform staff will join Avast’s consumer business unit, the antivirus company wants to keep Piriform products separate from its current system optimization offering, which includes Avast Cleanup and AVG TuneUp. Antivirus firm Avast announced on Wednesday the acquisition of Piriform, a London, UK-based company that develops the popular cleaning and optimization tool CCleaner.
