[Software updater creates lc.dat on my Windows Desktop]

Hi, when I close CCcleaner64 after letting it check for software updates a file named lc.dat appears on my Windows 11 desktop, see attached example.
If have to add read access to myself before I can even open it, the contents are unreadable binary and not recognized by any heuristics file type detection service, nor recognized as virus by any virusscanner (used VirusTotal).
Any idea why this file appears? Is this a bug? or is the CCleaner software update scanner hyjackable by some virus?

[Allow Software Updater custimizations]

Hello, how is the Software Updater detecting installed software and versions, and is it possible for users to fix/tweak this if it is making false assumptions?
E.g. I have latest PuTTy 0.80 and PuTTY Session Manager 0.50 installed, which makes CCleaner reporting PuTTY can be upgraded from 0.50 to 0.80.
Furthermore, it wouild also be nice if a user can hide specific software from the list, e.g. because it is intentional to keep an older version.
Thanls!
