Hi, I used the steam feature under multimedia and had the same issue, firstly I went to the store to verify and found everything was white with links, so I right clicked and hit refresh, this got the "shape" of things back however some pictures were still missing as displayed here:
furthermore after searching google "ccleaner bugging steam" I was able to find this topic available on steam forums: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?p=21594606
scroll down to the username afarnsworth who works for valve and references a fix that worked for another user with the same issue.
( This is easily fixed by deleting the cache folders.
1. Exit Steam
2. Navigate to: X:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\config
3. Delete the "htmlcache" and "overlayhtmlcache" folders
4. Start Steam )
Here's my results for recreating this issue, I have used CCleaner while steam is launched and have had all of the bugs reported above, after repairing them by following the instructions above I decided to try cleaning with steam CLOSED completely and I am unable to recreate this bug, I can assume that this issue would be the very same if a user were to delete these folders and or files that CCleaner cleans while steam is running, IMO the only thing CCleaner needs to do is enforce a DO NOT CLEAN IF RUNNING policy on steam. I however cannot speak for everyone but my testing leads me to believe that at least on windows 7 64bit that this isn't an issue when steam is exited completely out, be it for cleansing of it's caches or otherwise. I hope that you find this information use full in ruling out this issue, I believe anyone can recreate this issue if they leave steam running when they launch CCleaner and have Steam under multimedia in the application tab checked.

I'm confused, you're not going to clean steam at all any more? it seems like the problem just needs to be fixed with a prompt like when a browser is open saying it can't clean if it is open...
