Recently, I've noticed that CCleaner is the culprit for making my computer hang/becoming unresponsive to opening programs. During cleaning (with secure file deletion: 1 pass), it will freeze on the 1st or 2nd file it cleans. If I click "Cancel" the application will freeze, and hang my system. If I close the window, it will close CCleaner, but my system will be left unresponsive/hanging. From then on, I cannot open task manager (basically any programs except for windows explorer windows), shut down the computer via the start menu (or anywhere else); I am then forced to do a hard reset, which I really dislike doing. Any help? Its NEVER done this before.
If you turn off "secure deletion" does the same occur.
Please run a debug of ccleaner (see troubleshooting in the (ccleaner documents via the link in my signature) and attach the resulting log here on this thread as an attachment please, don't paste in as a post ( if needs be change it's file extension to txt)

So I've run CCleaner wo/ the secure deletion and it turns out that it functioned normally, without the hanging/unresponsiveness of the computer. So I'm guessing its the secure deletion that needs fixing, since its never done this? Here is the log:
