  1. I created a forum account just to post about this issue. I had the free v5.37 installed on a myriad of computers and found they all updated to v5.46 without permission or notification. I had auto-update disabled in-program as well as system & active monitoring but the UAC Bypass was still enabled and the CCupdate tool was in scheduled tasks. The scheduled task is set like it should run once daily and at startup but task scheduler reports it as never having been run. I stuck with the 5.37 version because of the UI changes in the newer versions and Avast's propensity for software bloat in their other products. Due to this incident and requisite lack of transparency any trust I had in Piriform and Avast has been erased. I ended up uninstalling the free CCleaner from all of the PCs I had it on - some clients, and all of the family and friends that I have remote access to with this command line. "C:\Program Files\CCleaner\uninst" /S && rmdir "C:\Program Files\CCleaner" /s /q There's a post on this issue at Born's Tech and Windows World blog as well: https://borncity.com/win/2018/09/12/ccleaner-forces-update-from-v5-38-to-v5-46/ Off to look for another simple and effective tool to replace CCleaner with. It won't be easy because it was so simple to use and worked very well. Regards, -felipe
