Thanks for the response, I can say for certain I have never clicked accept on a page like that or even a blank page that would have only an accept button. I just noticed at 7AM after an auto update of CCleaner that I had an avast icon on my desktop. I am running ESET Antivirus, I have never intentionally blocked any connections manually or seen any issues in all the years of having CCleaner installed up until this most recent update.

I have been using CCleaner for years and know about the option to install Avast when you initially install CCleaner, which was unchecked and it never installed as it should not have. Yesterday my CCleaner auto updated itself in the morning and to my surprise Avast with no other notification also seemed to auto install itself along with the update that ran in the background. I have now turned off auto updated for CCleaner, but when and why was this change made after years to have it randomly install Avast without asking?
