We already had CCleaner v5.36 installed on this PC. We tested the latest version, CCleaner v5.37 on our PC, which has Kaspersky Internet Security installed on it, and we didn't get the Avast offer during the installation. Though that security issue was dealt with, Avast has taken a step in the wrong direction again by bundling its antivirus, in to CCleaner. Version of CCleaner and CCleaner Cloud were hacked by an unknown party and a malware was embedded in it, to collect user data from systems on which it was installed. You would think that Avast would have learnt a lesson in bad press, when its servers which hosted Piriform's system utility, were compromised back in September. The latest version of CCleaner's installer now includes Avast Free Antivirus as a bundled adware. Remember what we all feared when Avast acquired Piriform earlier this year? Well, our fears were right.
