I am using v5.43 (x64) without issues here. At least, I haven't noticed anything different as before.
PS - I have uninstalled it from my Android smartphone. Too much advertisements there and I couldn't find how to disable on-the-fly analysis. It was constantly pestering me to do cleanups. What a frigging annoyance.
Or if you want to continue using CCleaner, get the Slim installer here...

...the same CCleaner, but none of the 'Avast' etc. 'extras' in the installer.
I have CCleaner for more than 2 years and did not have any problems with it. But I do not remember the last time I updated it either. Maybe it's their new partnership.
I am on 5.40. Later versions gave me problems, including not deleting all the cookies. I have check for updates disabled.
If those were the cookies for for *.avast.com and *.piriform.com then that appears to be another hidden 'trick' of the Standard installer...
Issues with Ccleaner (post #30)...The Standard installer adds whitelist entries for *.avast.com and *.piriform.com so that none of their cookies would be deleted. The Slim installer doesn't whitelist any cookies at all.
Not those but I notice it adds Shockwave cookies after "deleting" cookies I don't want to keep.
Maybe I need a version earlier than the 5.40
Has anyone tried Unchecky? From their site:
"Have you ever felt, while installing software, that the installer tries to push additional unwanted programs at all cost? Ever missed a checkbox, and spent hours afterwards removing adware? Ever opened your browser after an installation, only to find out that you have a new homepage, a new search engine, or even a new browser?
Unchecky aims to keep potentially unwanted programs out of your computer."
Maybe it would help solve some of this?
Do you know what! I disabled ccleaner in startup on task manager and its had the audacity to re-enable itself. I think my usage of ccleaner is rapidly drawing to a close.
Following this Stephen Piriform post, I'll give them a last chance.
If they keep that attitude, despite being use it since the CrapCleaner days, Ccleaner is gone!!!
