@Newton McNay Try to disable the task, not delete it. Then open CCleaner one more time, and uncheck the Enable Active Monitoring. Then reboot. Then recheck the Task Scheduler to make sure the CCleaner Updater is still disabled.
@APMichael I have given it another go. So far it hasn't come back.
Why the active monitoring? Don't you people get it? Look what happened to FB - $100 billion drop in stock. Why do you think it is ok to monitor people and try and tell us it is for a better product? Better yet - why don't you tell people up front what you are trying to doo instead of just sneaking it in? Or give us a way to verify your claim it is just anonymous data. What are you collecting and why? When I delete my IE history are you downloading it for other purposes? A once trusted utility has sold out and is now spyware - and tries to cover it up with a "fake" disclaimer. I'm not only going to remove this software I'm going to find a way to replace it once and for all with my own script process. PS - does Avast! software protect me against spying by CC?
JUST roll it back! new ver out in some weeks they say.
no need, its fixed
For what it's worth.
In Windows 7 I went into MSCONFIG and unchecked it.
Worked for me.
Excellent. I'm off this thread. GL to any new folks coming in.

Monitoring is not fixed and won't be until Piriform bring out a new re-worked build. Could take them weeks apparently.
It is safer I think to go back a build or 2 than mess with Windows settings (especially the registry)

Yes I know some folk are experienced enough to do it, but a lot of folk are not. They read the suggested workarounds (there are a few different ones floating around the forum) try to apply them, and well... it could have consequences.
In my own personal opinion Piriform made a HUGE mistake in trying to push this idea into a build.
The simplest solution I found that has worked now for multiple re-boots is to use SysInternals Autoruns - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autoruns After starting Autoruns in the "Everything" tab, type ccleaner in the filter box and uncheck CCleaner Update in the Task Scheduler section.
Simple. Job done.
