happy thanksgiving... here is what i did
* waited to it hung up & gave me error message
* went to file & moved it to recycle bin, turned my scan to simple [temporarily]
* ran ccleaner again
* hung up again on same file [some friggin .TXT file]
* deleted friggin .TXT file from recycle bin [as ccleaner hangs up on it]
* ran ccleaner again... NO problems
* changed scan config back, ran ccleaner again... NO problems
* tested numerous times with NO problems
CONCLUSION: some kind of corrupted .TXT file in name/local settings/temp that caused hang up & manual removal cured it... any changes will keep u posted
