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

You guessed correctly sir.


Lucky, lucky you.

It had to happen sometime.

An update:

https://www.ghacks.net/2018/08/01/cc...-dont-install/

//It is nearly impossible to disable the monitoring part of CCleaner
(Active Monitoring), and there are not any privacy settings anymore in
the free version of the program.
While you may go to Options Monitoring to disable "Enable system
monitoring" and "Enable Active Monitoring" there, you will notice that
the monitoring turns itself on again on the next start.//

CCleaner, AKA Crap Cleaner is now worse than the crap it was designed
to remove .....

But, and it is a big but, I don't use Avast as AV.

I don't use ANY resident AV. Nobody would if they read and
understood the TOS.

Learn to use your software before moaning :-)

Untick the Active Monitoring box BUT also go to the Tools\Startup
Windows tab and disable or delete the CCleaner Monitoring entry.
That entry may come back with the next update so you will have to repeat,
but at least it will be gone for now.

Start up entries are just that, they start every time you boot the
computer. Most of them in your windows list are not needed and slow the
boot time down.
