After Avast acquired Piriform, Ccleaner has become bloatware. To me as a loyal Ccleaner user for more than 10 years, all these driver updaters, optimizers and other bullshits seem completely unacceptable and unnecessary. What I am most disgusted about is that these "features" can't be turned off.

I couldn't agree more. As a IT engineer I have always been strictly against any driver updaters. IMO there's only a three right/correct places you can find updated drivers - Windows Update, motherboard manufacturer support site and a specific device's support site, for example, Intel download center. Any other places and any driver updaters are completely unacceptable. IMO Driver Updater should be removed from Ccleaner and provided as a stand-alone program. Or at least allow us to not include/deselect Driver Updater during Ccleaner installation.

They introduced automated scan in Ccleaner 5.85.9170. And even today there is no way you can disable this feature. This is the reason I'm still on 5.84.9126.
