In addition, remember to delete or disable the CCleaner update task in Windows Task Scheduler. Check out how AskVG at https://www.askvg.com/tip-disable-automatic-updates-for-software-versions-in-ccleaner/ or Bleeping Computer at https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/software/ccleaner-disregarding-settings-and-forcing-update-to-latest-546-version/. I searched "CCleaner forces update" on DuckDuckGo.
I actually deleted CCleaner 5.65 because of this. I am using cleanmgr.exe in Win 7 Pro and run as Administrator. I also use the cleaner under my paid Norton360 subscription. Do NOT use 'free' security software. Do NOT save logins/passwords. Only allow auto updates on your PAID security software. Important, stay away from Google and MS where possible. In private browsing with Firefox (I use an older version,) or a browser window with auto history, cookie, and tracker cleaning. Oh, and use an Ad blocker of some sort. Equals happy computing.
The entire freeware universe is becoming nothing but tracking cookies, data selling, and intrusive reporting back to the Mother ship. Also, I can still use my old Glary with the nag popup.
