Ad won't go away

CCleaner is showing an ad in the bottom right of my screen. There is nothing to click on and no way to close it without using a utility to do so. How do I stop the ad? It is offering to extend the use of CClearer to up to 5 machines for the rest of my subscription for $10. I’m on Win10 latest.

Hi JOhnSays:

Can you post (upload) an image of your ad?*** Most CCleaner ads popping up from the system tray have a tiny “x” in the top-right corner to close the pop-up, but if that doesn’t work try clicking the “thumbtack” icon to unpin the ad.

*** NOTE: Since you are a new user in this forum you might not be able to upload screenshots until you’ve posted enough replies to promote your user account to the “Basic” user level. @nukecad or one of the other Forum Mods might be able to fix this for you.
