Ok, so I just wrote a batch file to kill the process. Here are the steps.
create a batch file .. whatever.bat
add the following:
@echo off
taskkill /im ccleaner64.exe
The taskkill function requires admin, so, just create a shortcut to your batch file. Then on the shortcut, go into advanced settings and check the box, Run as Administrator. (see image)
If you are running the 32 bit version, I think its all the same, except remove the "64" inside the batch file.
Cheers!
