A genetically modified organism (GMO) is an organism whose genetic material has been altered using recombinant DNA [[genetic engineering]] techniques.  In most cases, genes are cut using the [[escherichia coli]] bacteria.  Other gene sequences are then inserted into the gap created, and the gene parts are reconnected.

'''CCleaner''' is a piece of software intended to clean and optimize [[computer]] [[Operating system|systems]]. It attempts to clean unneeded files and registry keys, and delete private information which could be stolen and exploited.  It also allows for white-listing certain [[Internet cookie|cookies]] and other traces, so that those specific ones will never be removed.<ref>http://www.pcworld.com/article/231606/ccleaner.html</ref> With over two billion downloads, CCleaner has become very popular.<ref>http://filehippo.com/download_ccleaner</ref>

==Advantages==
  −
*Frees up drive space
  −
*Deletes unneeded private data (protecting it from spyware)
  −
*Improves system performance
  −
*Does not charge a fee for most functions
  −
  −
==Disadvantages==
  −
===Privacy===
  −
Malicious software sometimes will search a victim's computer, looking for private information.  By deleting much of the unneeded private information on a user's computer, CCleaner helps protect the user's privacy from attackers and spyware.<br />
  −
However, CCleaner itself collects some information which users may not ordinarily be comfortable with sharing. They reserve the right in their privacy policy to collect the following:<ref name="piri PP">http://www.piriform.com/about/privacy-policy</ref>

*Device type

*Operating system type

*Device settings

*Application IDs

*Unique device IDs
  −
*Other (non-Piriform)software used
  −
*What features of Piriform's software are used
  −
*Software crash data
  −
*Other data collected by Google Analytics
  −
This data collection is justified in their privacy policy as something other software companies do as well.<ref name="piri PP">http://www.piriform.com/about/privacy-policy</ref>
  −
===Other===
  −
*When installed, CCleaner often tries to push sponsored software onto the computer system as well.  This is often [[bloatware]], with little use.
  −
*There are few options to customize and configure the software.  It must be used very much as it is out-of-the-box.
