Tried the trial version and decided I didn't want something running all the time. Even though I unchecked run at start up. Uninstalled and went with the usual free version. It was still running! Was getting popups. Gonna dump the whole thing.

People think it's for malware and that's just not so. I've got Malwarebytes and can clean crap with Windows options. Use MSE. What do I need CCleaner for? I think nothing....
