I have a simple CD burning program that offers an update every few weeks - you would think it must be the most intensively developed software for this application in the history of the universe. I find it hard to believe that a simple cleaning program needs such frequent updating. I have a notion that programs that need updating every few weeks are just seeking another opportunity to download yet another unwanted bundled program and collect the fee. I will continue to use CCleaner but not update to the new versions. I have never before noticed any warning that Avast was bundled with the program. I have just removed 'Avast free' for the nth time and I had updated CCCleaner the day before. Quote from: Gavin Bullock on September 24, 2018, 04:07:31 PM Just to add my penny worth.

Both CCCleaner and Avast are to blame and should suffer the damage to their reputation they richly deserve.

I agree with an early comment that this is irresponsible because it compromises computer security - many AV programs interfere with each other. Or perhaps it's an opportunity to download another PUP.
