CCleaner - from freeware to adware?

Not only has the updated version of "CCleaner Free" brought us a totally useless (because "dead") extra function - now it even has turned from freeware to adware. Ever since, CCleaner spawns advertisement popups telling the user to upgrade CCleaner. What will be next? And will there be any way to stop CCleaner from spawning popups? Riddles after riddles...

Not only that, but even if you get PRO the features aren't showing, and the support simply said they wish to privately explain why? (Then the thread got closed)
