Rant over.

Use BleachBit and/or Wise disk/registry cleaner.
CCleaner is not trustworthy. Not since they deliberately
loaded a trojan in the program.

What do you mean by "they deliberately loaded a trojan in the
program"?


Old news

https://blog.talosintelligence.com/2...s-malware.html

Almost a year gone by and Avast has not pointed fingers at
anyone. Maybe they're waiting for someone to die so they can use
them as scapegoats. Please don't try to convince me that Avast was
unable to detect who planted the malware. They have full access to
both the Piriform and the Avast servers and all the logs. No
security company is that incompetent.

I've used Ccleaner for nearly 10 years with absolutely no problems.
This on XP and Windows 7.


Lucky you. You missed the trojan version(s).


Seems so.

Though I read somewhere that ALL recent versions are malware
(adware is malware).

Let me guess, you didn't install those either ?


You guessed correctly sir.


Lucky, lucky you.

It had to happen sometime.
But, and it is a big but, I don't use Avast as AV.
