Thank you for the courtesy of your response, nukecad. I meant to convey in my original message that the trackers issue is not especially concerning to me, since I understand that they are not uniformly malware. I also understand the exigent dangers of sharing financial information online with strangers; I haven't done so in this case. I wrote because I was surprised to see a reputable site like Ccleaner hacked in a way that was so visually convincing, and that managed to slide in under my anti-virus programme (Bitdefender). Even before I received your answer, I deleted the app and reinstalled it: the hack has not since reappeared. The issue of what type of license I have (good for 5 devices; I use it on 2) will be resolvable once I read the link you've provided. Again, thanks for your help. gbb

I pay for Ccleaner Pro on my laptop: it still mishandles tracking protocols but otherwise works well. I've been using the free download on my Android12 for a long time with no problems. That said, I think my laptop Pro license should function equally on my phone —it seems tacky to have to pay extra for it. My central problem emerged when I thought I should at least take the phone Pro for a spin, and thus agreed to "watch a video" as a condition for temporary entry. BIG MISTAKE! That video is actually a link to some video game (never touch 'em) and I've lost access to the basic functions of the Basic phone cleaner. Solution?
