CCleaner Was Hacked: What You Need to Know
So if like me you never auto updated or installed that particular version then there's no problem. If you never update there's no problem except that some cleaning rules might stop working and new cleaning rules won't be added. You can get around that. See Posts #5 & #9 here:
Is Ccleaner safe to use with SSD drive?
Then it entirely depends upon how comfortable the user is with configuring settings and knowing what items to select/ ignore/ add to inclusion/ exclusion lists. Or if you're comfortable letting windows built in tools handling cleanup then fine unless space/ privacy is an issue.
Just for info:
What's your favorite 3rd party cleaning app?
Your system so it's your choice if you want to use it or not. If you don't know how to use it and want to use it anyway always have a system image backup/ restore option in place.
