CCleaner wipes out AVG history

CCleaner for Windows
1

Each time I run CCleaner, the history of Anti-Virus Grisoft (AVG) is removed. AVG then thinks it hasn't run before and does an initial scan which takes hours. How can I set CCleaner so it does not remove the AVG History?

You can uncheck AVG (or the applications tab)

Here is what is cleaned by ccleaner with the AVG Checkmark (I'm giving you all the version because you don't state what version of AVG you use

you could experiment with the exclude section of the ccleaner options and see which of these cleans is causing the issue, or as I said just uncheck AVG in the applications tab.

You're probably best to untick the AVG cleaner, and exclude the logs folder that way should you ever accidentally enable it again cleaning the logs will be impossible.
