• Vendor operates the Zero Day Initiative (ZDI) bug-bounty program and publishes security advisories; product support via helpcenter.trendmicro.com
• MS Store listing itself states 'Evaluated administrators permission is required to run the app.'
• Post-2018 telemetry posture not verified: the vendor confirmed and removed a one-time browser-history upload that September (see flags); current collection is governed by the product EULA/data-collection disclosures
• Updates flow through the MS Store / Mac App Store channels; in-app update mechanism not verified

Research notes

• Lineage: launched Sept 2, 2016 on the Mac App Store as 'Dr. Cleaner' (trackId 1133028347), renamed 'Cleaner One', then 'Cleaner One Pro' when the Windows edition shipped; still actively maintained (macOS v6.6.8, Aug 2025).
• Sept 2018 incident: Trend Micro's own statement confirmed that Dr. Cleaner, Dr. Cleaner Pro, Dr. Antivirus, Dr. Unarchiver, Dr. Battery, and Duplicate Finder uploaded a one-time snapshot of the user's 24-hour browser history to AWS at install time; Apple pulled the apps from the Mac App Store, and the vendor removed the capability and dumped the legacy logs (trendlife.com, 'Answers to Your Questions on Our Apps in the Mac App Store', Sep 10-11, 2018).
• The browser-history collection was disclosed in the products' EULAs/data-collection disclosures but was exposed publicly by Malwarebytes' Thomas Reed and Objective-See's Patrick Wardle; Dr. Cleaner was among the top-ranked Mac App Store utilities at the time.
• MS Store listing notes 'Evaluated administrators permission is required to run the app.' - direct vendor evidence that the app runs elevated.
• Store listing bills it as 'Best PC Cleaner and security protection tool in 2026'; 10K ratings on the MS Store listing.
