Am I the only one who messed up when trying to update CCleaner to the newest version, and, using FileHippo, managed to load "Conduit" - a truly large pain in the butt - and have yet to update...
This is the only time I've had a problem or issue with CCleaner.
Suffice it to note FileHippo is way off my trusted list.
Using 7-Zip I unpacked the setup file from FileHippo.com and the only 3rd party stuff included is to download and install Google Toolbar and Google Chrome Browser, nothing Conduit related that I could find. I see why you'd be upset after reading the WOT rating page about it.
The hashes for the download "ccsetup408.exe" on FileHippo.com are:
MD5: CE2E04C5B0C4820E129886A874D92C03
SHA-1: 6585F3BCD797EFC2F81599CDE50115668B677D52
The FileHippo.com download also has a valid digital signature.
Or perhaps you accidently clicked on one of the many prominent Start Download buttons that have nothing to do with CC, but everything to do with some other paid software 'ads'.

Those ads are the worst. But boy are they profitable.

Turning off adblocking reveals how deceptive the download link can be on there, with adblocking enabled no such problems or confusion. However we've had discussion about FileHippo doing that in the past.
